Good:

Among other things, Rev. Falwell was an incredible supporter of the debate community that we're part of. We'll forgive a lot for that alone - to say nothing of the respect that we have for anyone who is confident enough to subject their beliefs to the give and take of argument. He provided support to run a huge tournament every year at Liberty, large enough for everyone in the region from the least to the most experienced. As long as he was around the Liberty debate team wanted for nothing - he genuinely believed in having people examine and defend what they want other people to believe. The Liberty tournament always ended with a lavish banquet to which he would personally show up to give a speech. Then, after the speech, he would answer any question from anyone in the crowd. He was one of the smoothest and most charismatic people we've ever watched work a podium, even when his interlocutors were annoying and arrogant first years enamored with being impertinent ("but doesn't the Bible say we have to love everybody? how can you..." - give us a break). He never lost his poise, and suffice to say that over many, many years we never saw anyone crack Falwell.
