- crazy with opinions that he knows are indefensible and serve only to get attention. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 10:21 4
  - It's the second part of your IM that is true. Armesto writes long, often turgid stories about the macro view of history. News and dates aren't - Roger More Dec 29, 10:58
  - how would you define "historical importance"? -- nm - znufrii Dec 29, 10:33 2
    - Things that will have far lasting repercussions or tie into far lasting repercussions - Will Hunting Dec 29, 10:42 1
