When he goes on the midlife crisis sex shit I cringe, but Nick isn't a full-on lolcow. He typically can be told he's a retard and will take the criticism. He gets some benefit on being a cow because he's one of the few people who will bat for the website.
I think his legal commentary shtick is good because he's willing to take the faggotry out of legal commentary. He's not stuck up on law being something almost holy, he's got a good personality to riff on shit. A lot of the other lawyers kinda suck on their own, but are fun as a panel because they can offer some neat perspectives.
People here will still call him a lolbert faggot, know he's on thin ice, a shitty laywer, an actual faggot, or that one guy who says he has AIDS. For the most part, Nick has been morally consistent to that. He's not impeccable in that moral, but expecting moral impeccability is fucking retarded.
