In fact, if I would have to admit, I kind of like him.
I attended one of his lectures as a college student, I even publically asked him a contraversial question and he publically answered to me - he's extremely educated, extremely smart, unfortunately, his sense for exhibitionism many times collides with the common sense.
And sometimes it's his own ego that fights him more than his opponents.
I mainly make fun out of the way he's always very particular about expressing his opinions etc.. it's probably kind of hard to translate.
But indeed, although I don't have to agree with everything I also find it somehow refreshing, that someone doesn't fear being a little bit contraversial in this extremely sterile and politically übercorrect climate these days.
