Pariah, I think you're a bit hard on DarkKnight613.
Him and I clashed a lot in the beginning, but once we understood each other better, we got along, despite our representing opposite liberal and conservative poles of thought.
I think he was a sincere guy who was entrenched in his liberal views, but could still be reasoned with. The topic in my signature is pretty representative of what his arguments were like.
I do agree that he would present arguments from an odd third-person "devil's advocate" POV and other hypotheticals, rather than just present them as his own views.
But I don't think anyone here questioned the fact that those were his actual views. I still liked having him here, because we could still have a dialogue and lay out both sides of the issue in a mostly civil way.
