Fig was a good guy to chat with and debate.

Fig was a Mormon...that much was clear to me.

But Fig also was a normal guy....and that's what struck me the most about him.
How different the posts of Fig were compared to all the other Mormons who posted on this forum.

All the other Mormons seem to me to come here with only one thing on their mind...."**** people off"

But Fig actually treated me at all times with respect.
Fig listened to people.
When Fig asked a question on the forum, the way it was phrased was a credit to his skills as a writer.

I never saw him act snotty.
I never saw him act with disrespect.
I never saw him post things that were hurtful.

Due to the nature of this forum and the type of people that come here via our open-door, I have gotten used to seeing the most childish comments posted from BOTH sides of the debate.

But Fig set a tone, a higher standard of behavior.

i never once agreed with fig on any religious question, yet I never felt in all of our conversations that he tried to put me down as a person.

he disagreed with my views....but he was never disagreeable to me as a person.
(A lesson so few learn to do)

He stopped posting here a while ago, Im not sure why?
I always felt bad when I saw he was no longer responding to posts aimed at him...

I will miss him.
