Opinions of the 3 preceding posters

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

Jimmie: FF.
Enduro: There's something I remember not liking about him, but I can't remember what it is, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say FF.
RFayette: FF.

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

All FF.

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

All three solid FFs.

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

Peebs: FF
John Edwards: I don't have an opinion yet
Kalwejt: Massive FF, glad he's not dead

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

Computer89 is awful and I don't have a good read on the other two.

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

They're all great, although Scott has a few positions or beliefs that he really should know better than.

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

1. Inheritor of the venerable status of "most stereotypically Rose Twitter-y maroon avatar". Not a fan.
2. An HP, but an HP whom I think of as, on some pre-political, even pre-moral level, a kindred spirit.
3. I don't remember much about him from his previous forum self/selves. Seems pretty good since his return.

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

I'm inclined more or less favorably towards all of them, but don't know any of them that well.

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

1. Scott's great. One of the best of us. Has some views I disagree with, but who doesn't?
2. Peebs is good too. The younger generation on the forum has a wonderful representative in her.
3. I'm not really sure what to make of TexasGurl. I don't dislike her, and I think she's a really good mod, but she's brash in ways that I occasionally find kind of unpleasant. Sort of like how I used to feel about Joe Republic, although I haven't had any personally nasty disagreements with her like I did once or twice with him. Good sense of humor, though.

ONProgressive: Major FF.
gracile: Mild FF. My assessment of him is his assessment of me quoted verbatim.
BP1202: I've grown to appreciate him as a so-bad-he's-good poster. Owning the whole Grand Mufti thing is a genuinely clever touch.

Nathan: Liberal cosplaying as a socialist, so HP.

I am an electoralist who advocates achieving socialism through a liberal-democratic political structure on principled rather than merely expedient grounds, yes. I reject the suggestion that this is a problem.

[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.

[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.

[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.

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

Scott: Awesome. I've made my esteem known for him many times in the past.
BP: Uh...he keeps growing on me with his generally reasonable and well-backed-up takes (he genuinely convinced me to reconsider my support for Elizabeth Warren), and then he comes out with flagrantly hate-filled nonsense like what he just said about Parrotguy and we're back to square one. (And yes, I'd say the same of Parrotguy if he said anything similar about Palestinians, or any other nationality for that matter.) I'm honestly not sure what to make of that.
OSR: Personally very decent, surprisingly good views on some of the issues (just tonight I found out he's in favor of reinstating Glass-Steagall), but the overall political philosophy in which those views are contextualized is one I don't have a lot of respect for. To use election-forecasting terminology, likely-to-safe FF personally, lean-to-likely HP politically.

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

Grassr00ts: Really gets on my nerves. The best I can say for him is that he's still young and still learning.
Jen10: New, so I don't have a solid opinion yet, but doesn't inspire confidence so far.
KaiserDave: Seems like a pretty solid guy. For some reason I don't have a firm grasp on what his "thing" is, but I like him well enough.

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

Grassr00ts: Not a fan, but the above post makes a compelling case that he's not really as bad as all that in the grand scheme of things. Still not a fan, though.
TSA: I'm fond of the guy. I don't always agree with him by a long shot, but I've never had any problems with him that I can recall.
John Dule: Atlas Meme Grandmaster and the hero the forum needs but doesn't deserve (or maybe, just maybe, the other way around).

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

Grassr00ts: The little creep's starting to grow on me in a Sanchez sort of way. He's definitely way less personally repellent than lots of marginally more reasonable or superficially less bigoted right-of-center posters.

TSA: Like I said last time, I've had no problems with him; he's okay by me.

PSOL: High-quality, eminently readable leftist poster, even though there are some things on which we're in sharp disagreement.

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

I think well of all three, but don't have a crystal-clear impression of any.

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

The Reckoning: I'm not a big fan but I think I tend to be more generous to him and more inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt than a lot of other posters are.
Damocles: Big fan.
Calthrina: Big fan, especially since he's one the most-improved posters ever relative to when he first joined the forum.

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

I like them all a lot. Battista and PR I'm honored to call friends.

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

Fuzzy: I'll do him the same courtesy he did me dozens of pages ago in this thread and say that I consider him a soft FF if I'm grading people with his political views and posting style on a curve.
Abdullah: Hard to know what to make of him because his affability and incredibly generous recommendation habits disguise some substantive views that are pretty dang unpopular on this forum. I've never had bad experiences with him, though.
THG: As I've said before, I'm not a fan, but I'm less of a non-fan than most other posters are.

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

I'm not crazy about any of them, to be perfectly honest, but they're far from the worst posters we have. OSR is the worst, Ferguson is better ideologically, HisGrace is better in terms of posting quality.
