First of all, welcome to CP! You picked the perfect thread to get involved in. These kinds of discussion are what make CP an awesome place to hang out, IMO.
Second, of course Rocky Thompson rocks. It's in the name.
Third, Theo takes a lot of crap because of some of his antics. Almost any story I hear about meeting him in person is positive, and people have great things to say about him. I know when I met him at one of his book signings he was very accommodating. Chapters was warning everyone who came in that he was just going to sign the book and then you moved on, but Theo took the time to shake everyones hands and pose for pictures if you had a camera. He would also take a moment to chat with you, like the lady in front of me who saw him play minor hockey and mentioned that. He humored her in a very genuine way. It's too bad he can't be that kind of person all the time, but that is a little much to expect of anyone let alone Theo Fleury and the troubles he's seen.
