My old colleague Ian Lance Taylor is not only a great software guy, but has an argumentation style that I wish I could more frequently emulate. Whether pondering technical or political subjects (see the blog and essays links), he has a calm, fair, honest tone that makes it impossible to come back at with a quick “you silly git!” jerk of a comment. I don’t agree with everything he says, but it’s intimidating trying to match wits with him.
