Alexander is known for being a bit...chicken. There are very few positions to which he's willing to firmly commit beyond "don't get mad" and "don't be mean", for fear of antagonizing his rather...politically diverse…
One of Alexander's better stories. However, I'd say it reeks of what I'd call Alexanderness: -The idea that arguments and debates are the most important thing in the world and everyone should do it as much as possible…
