He was always going on about the poor ethical standards of chess and chess players and their incorrect language.
One of the earlier examples was complaining about the use of the term "Ladies Prize" that it was sexist and shouldn't be used.

Justin raised a number of topics of interest. He was still not as prolific as other posts on their pet topics. If people prefer a narrower range of topics to be covered in this place so that they never have views challenged that is up to them, but the forum is a duller place as a result.
