I knew him as a kind and very polite man, it is true that he tended to take offense quite easily, but not as easily as countless individuals do today, who do not possess even a fraction of the positive qualities he had. "IIRC", once when he got angry with you, he asked me to send you an E-Mail explaining what exactly in your comments had offended him (to be honest, I would have felt offended too if I were him, although I probably wouldn't have responded the way he did), but perhaps you don't remember that, or at least so it seems. Anyway, I decided to reply to your message just so that those who didn't have the opportunity to chat with him wouldn't somehow imagine that he was indeed "the typical jerk" you describe, no, he wasn't like that at all, in fact he was a rational, educated and well-mannered man, in a way that, unfortunately, you rarely encounter nowadays.
