Duke: (since someone refused to describe him)
Seems like an awesome dude who's probably successful in his real life. He's my boss in Atlasia as I believe I"m still employed at The Paper these days, and I can't say I've ever had an unpleasant day at that job. Nevertheless, I'm often confused as to why he maintains his Republican avatar, and occasionally it's something that bugs the heck out of me.

Prog Realist:
While I'd like to think the "Progressive" in his name refers to the style of rock that he likes, I fear it instead refers to his ideology. Given my name, I can't criticize someone for including ideology (or even religion!) in their username. There are few things that stand out specifically to him. Seems like a nice guy on the Irc, and we've had some chats. Of the things that stand out about him, one would have to be his annoyance with the labeling of Nixon as a liberal president. While undoubtedly a corrupt bastard, Nixon nevertheless enacted liberal domestic legislation. I'm also annoyed by people that spin Nixon as liberal, and those that say he's conservative and tend to think I'm the expert on good ol' Tricky Dick, so I'd naturally be annoyed with anyone asserting their expertise on the nation's 37th President. Nevertheless, he has good points on the issue. Also, I'd have to object to his refusal to describe Duke. I'm having to make up for it with the above paragraph.

Snowstalker is like a lost child with a strange intense focus on certain weird things. His recent strange turn away from  enjoying life and towards this weird, quasi-religious viewpoint is a weird one. Weirdest most is the lack of any deity involved at all. I have to assume that prom has something to do with it and hey, to an extent I can sympathize. Nevertheless, it's still weird as frick. He hops from fascist ideology to fascist ideology like a guy trying various different types of drugs. First it's a quasi-monarchial thing where one man can decide the distribution of wealth for all, then it's something based on forceful redistribution taken by the underclasses, now it's "paternalistic socialism". What the freak is that? You're 17 man, you don't need to be "paternalistic". I imagine someone scolding someone else for being too selfish. Maybe like "The Giver". I mean, this guy's just ridiculous.

Nevertheless, his heart's in the right place. That's hardly enough, I'm afraid. A heart that seeks the right thing can lead to disaster. His movements must be governed by logic and a sense of how they will affect others.

Don't judge this as a negative appraisal. only one a half-awake guy near noon made while watching "The Office" on Netflix and remembering everything he'd been amused by you in chat. There's much more, I'm sure, but this is all I feel like typing right now.

I can't think of anything "brutal" to say in my description. He's a cool dude and a libertarian. I can't think of much more to say. Awesome dude. However, he did insult my Master Genius Plan in Atlasia, and I really can't let that go. Do you know how hard I worked on that plan? The countless night I spent up with a calculator, tabulating results from previous elections and trying out different formulas? And you know why I did it? For this country that I love so much, Atlasia, where people still pretend they're free. In any case, that's my only complaint. Other than that, he seems like a great guy. Can't think of much more to say.
