I've seen that said before, but tell me which fights he stopped? I saw him talk a lot about peace, conciliation and resolution of arguments, but I never saw him stop one - or else perhaps there'd have been fewer rows

I never saw him get involved at all when they were in full-flow.
He does seem like a nice guy though, but struck me very much as a 'it's not my problem' kind of person who liked to talk a lot but not say much or do much (regarding the arguments).

Yes, that made me laugh. Once a diabetic, always a diabetic. It's how well you control your levels. Obviously if he's been losing weight and controlling his food intake, his levels will have improved, which is great.

Yes, he was never nasty, this is very true, and that is admirable indeed. He just wasn't the peacemaker he believes himself to be. Abstaining is not keeping the peace.
