See Bob Wenzel on David Gordon. Here’s a sample:
“In the movie Syriana, there is a great scene where the senior partner of a law firm is telling a mild mannered member (played by Jeffery Wright) something along the lines:
You know, there are a lot of people running around here pretending to be wolves, who are really lambs. You are dressed like a lamb, but you are the real wolf here.
“Then the senior partner, in just a few short words, tells Wright what needs to be fixed, and the mild-mannered lawyer goes about and gets the job done. Wright is the firm’s go to man.
“When I read David Gordon, this scene comes to mind. Gordon’s obvious brilliance, when meeting him in person, comes through immediately, but so does the fact that he is a mild-mannered true gentleman. But don’t let the politeness of Gordon fool you into thinking he isn’t going to hatchet you to pieces if you make errors when discussing libertarianism.”
