I met him in the Spring of 2001.

I used to love his work. He was a total jerk. A warmonger. A conceited asshat who believed all the bullshit he wrote. He believed in having an excuse to beat the living shit out of other human beings. Or kill them. Whatever. They deserved it.

He's an extremely creepy self-centered degenerate who writes some pretty obscenely gross scenes in his books.
