[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

OSR: Very much a decent and honorable person, and that does count for a lot, but I'm afraid I don't have a ton of respect for his political perspective. Good takes on Star Wars, though.
Hindsight is 2020: Seems fine.
Bolton is Inevitable: Tiresome FCBSL. I don't have anything against him personally, though.

[Elcaspar]

1. Seems alright from what i have seen. I am gonna say lean FF.

2. I have a certain hatred for centrist Democrats, so i am gonna say lean HP. But i am sure he is fine as a person.

3. Seems pretty good from what i have seen, so i am gonna say FF.

[We Live in Black and White]

Hindsight: FF, though we don't really interact that much.

Nathan: Brilliant. Quality. One of our best posters. Massive FF.

Elcaspar: Not gonna lie, I truly don't know.

[Roblox]

All FF's.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

All FF's.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Sven is a massive FF and an old forum friend.

Roblox is an FF. I haven't interacted with him enough to say more.

Comrade Peebs is a massive FF.

[Hindsight was 2020]

All FFs

[RFayette]

All big FF's.  Peebs is especially friendly and Kal has a great sense of irony/sarcasm.  Hindsight is 2020 is also a great poster/contributor.

[James Monroe]

All FF's.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Scott: I've expressed my very high opinion of him at least once in this thread already.
Roblox: Eh, seems okay. Generic maroon-avatar newbie so far. He'll probably develop more of his own identity as a poster if he sticks around.
Аverroës: Excellent poster. Thoughtful and provides an underrepresented perspective. We have our disagreements, but every time they've come up he's been able and willing to explicate and back up his position, often more so than I have. I'm a fan.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Saving space here. Gimme a sec.

Roblox: Honestly never heard of before in my life. My apologies that I cannot articulate further.

Averroes: Very glad I got this one. Averroes went from a mysterious poster who I mildly disliked over his preference for bicycles over automobiles to one of the leftists I respect most on this forum. This is in part based on my own conversion towards support for more sustainable transport. But it's also because Averroes consistently is willing to call things as he sees them in response to what seem to be boilerplate takes by those on his own side of the aisle. He seems intelligent, rational, and well-informed (moreso than I may ever be on domestic issues).

Nathan: A never-ending font of wisdom, conscientiousness, and obscure popular culture knowledge. In real life, we would probably have only rarely crossed paths if in the same general geographic or social environment. I'm glad that this forum allows for a space to communicate with those socially distal from oneself on matters of import, including Nathan, who I occasionally spam with PMs on such important topics as C.S. Lewis and mid-2000s Eastern hemisphere animation.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Averroes - Insightful Massive FF who's a true enemy of the "Echo Chamber".  He's a guy who's more liberal than me who's willing to see all sides of an argument, and that's not common here.
Nathan - He might be a Soft FF if I grade on the curve.
Cath - Massive FF, and (previously) one of the best mods here.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Nathan: Easily one of our most insightful and knowledgeable posters, and pretty close ideological match for me. Massive FF.

Cathcon: An old forum friend, with whom I had great fun on what-ifs. I wish we still had him on the mod team. Massive FF.

Fuzzy: Well, I don't consider him a "bad guy", more a misguided one. I abhor most of his political positions, though I appreciate being on the same page with him on the death penalty. Also, he provided us with the excellent Grand Mufti thing, so lean FF I guess.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Cathcon: A cool guy. I don't always mean that as a compliment but in this case I do. As he said about me, I'm really glad this forum has given me the opportunity to get to know someone I might not cross paths with or even might not get along with in real life.
Fuzzy: I mean, everybody knows that he and I don't really get along, but I don't really have anything against him outside of politics. He gets on my nerves big time but that doesn't make him a bad person. I genuinely admire his thick skin given how much grief he gets from me and others.
Kal: Awesome. Hilarious and openhearted. A top-tier poster.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

FF (Great poster and someone republicans should actually act like)

Don't say cancer to anyone, even if you hate the person. I'm relaxing my immigration position. I know i've been wrong on it.

Fuzzy Bear: Huge FF
Kalwejt: From what i've seen FF
Nathan: More anonymous than the previous two, but based on his avatar a FF.

[afleitch]

Yey. Three I can actually do.

Kalwejt: Great poster, great mod, great signature. I don't think we tend to interact much on politics itself, but he's on my Facebook and we seem to coalesce around things we haven't even talked about.

Nathan: I've always cared for Nathan. Genuinely. I think he used to be a little bit evasive at times and I've not handled that well and caused him upset that still makes feel bad. But since he's came back I hope we get along better. He pleads both knowledge of what he knows but also ignorance of what he doesn't and that's a strength.

Loki: Until I took notice I never thought anyone that level of far left consciousness could be a diehard Trump fan. There were anecdotes, but I never knew the cognitive dissonance of supporting a crass trashy hyper capitalist was at all possible. His recent 'my bad' is admirable AND RARE and I'm looking forward to what happens next.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Nathan:  He's the kind of guy I'd never endorse if he were running for office, but if we were part of the same legislative body, we could likely find common ground to advance objectives and achieve reasonable and defensible compromises.  I'd give him an FF on that score.

Laki:  An FF by any measure.

afleitch:  While forming this post, I remembered the following entry in a thread titled:  "Do you suffer from Asperger's or Autism?"

Have yes. Suffer, no.

So I'm willing to be understanding.  He's not alone here.  Other posters have received the Fuzzy Bear pushback for some of their less-than-FF posts, and I've later seen sharing on the forum such as the quote.  Nor do I necessarily condemn his attitude about his situation, as I view escaping suffering as a good thing.  If I'm going to have a serious diagnosis, I'd at least prefer that the condition be somewhat asymptomatic or (at a minimum) well-managed.  And I certainly have empathy for folks who are afflicted with conditions on the Autism Spectrum and ADHD.  (My 14 year old son has ADHD, so I'm familiar with impulsive statements that have to be walked back.)  I remember how many poster posted on such Forum Community threads as the one I referenced and thought, "Wow!  I didn't even think about that!"

Laki:  An FF by any measure.

afleitch:  Based on his post content, and taking his forum participation on face value, he's one of the worst moderators around, providing rude, biased and snarky comments to people he disagrees with, and many of these comments are not defensible.  He let loose with an ad hominem attack on another poster which two (2) other moderators actually "recommended".  (Kalwejt had the integrity to recant that and admit he was wrong for "recommending" a post that violated the ToS.)  The quality of his posts and his participation here check all of the HP boxes.

While writing the above, I remembered the following entry in a thread titled:  "Do you suffer from Asperger's or Autism?"

Have yes. Suffer, no.

But a little self-awareness goes a long way.  That alfleitch may not "suffer" from Autism/Aspergers doesn't mean that his symptoms don't manifest themselves in behavior unbecoming of a moderator or in violation of the ToS.  Such a statement as this says, "My condition is YOUR problem, not mine.  Deal with it."  That's fine, too.  And I'll give alfleitch the benefit of the doubt in that HE'S not seeking to have it both ways.  So I'll credit him with being an FF at heart.  But the HP manifests itself an awful lot in his content on Atlas.

I find it really fascinating that 'iamworstmod' despite the fact I engage in little to no moderation.

That you think the quality of my posts merits HP to me is suggestive of someone who hasn't read any of them. But I can't force your hand on this. People like all sorts of content on here.

Finally, please don't grandstand (a trait of yours which in my opinion derails and clutters topics) over my aspergers. It has absolutely no relevance here and is so off mark and deeply personal that I'm suprised you decided to go there. It doesn't merit a response.

Next poster, please skip.

EDIT: I see you have self edited which is perhaps some self- reflection

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

I appreciate all three's changes of heart (Laki's from pro- to anti-Trump, Afleitch's from Tory to straight up socialist, and Fuzzy's saying trans rights in the Above Poster's Display Name thread).

[BP🌹]

Fuzzy Bear: My least favorite poster on the forum, and I believe I've made it very clear why. That being said, I agree with him that "whataboutism" is a legitimate debating tactic.

afleitch: I haven't seen too much from him, but his modding triggers the right people. FF.

Peebs: I haven't interacted with her much, but she's hilarious. FF.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Afleitch: FF
Peebs: Massive FF
BP: Massive HP
