Opinion of Snowstalker

[Franknburger]

Don't feel like going through each and every post of him (or any other poster for that matter).

This contribution is a good one, and (in contrast to various other threads and comments that can be found on the forum) among those that make membership here worthwhile for me.

This continued dogpiling on Snowstalker leaves a... rather... bad taste in my mouth, and would do so almost no matter the quality of his posts or lack thereof.

This.

Eh, he's toned down the sage a bit and he's a nice enough guy. FF

This.

One thing I don't understand is the almost pathological desire of a handful of posters to mock him.

And this.

[Mechaman]

Anyone who cops this much derision this regularly yet continues to post must be a FF.

Yeah this.

But aren't you not a fan of opebo?

[Velasco]

I'm undecided between option 3 (the 'Sage Garden') and FF (the mocking choir). Lean FF because of this:

I hate "opinion of" threads, albeit I can't help but voting FF or HP in some polls. More frequently, I vote FF for posters that I like. I understand threads like this are an institution and a pillar of this forum, of course.

Opebo is a world apart, he has a wide fan club and a group of fierce detractors. That's not the case with other posters like Snowstalker. If I have to choose, I prefer the latter just because I don't like personality cults that I find rather incomprehensible.

[Хahar 🤔]

What makes him deeply unpleasant is his need to demonstrate his moral superiority to everyone else.

It's an act.  He can be a good poster when he breaks the fourth wall.

If anything, that makes it worse.

That's actually a good post yes, the thing is though most of his past posts about Iraq and other middle eastern countries are not like that at all. Perhaps hes improving on this one small matter.

It's also quite different from his previous outspoken support of Muammar al-Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad.

I support neither and have never implied otherwise, but I doubt you could distinguish between disliking the rebel forces in both countries and liking Assad/Gaddafi.

Anyway, you obsessively love opebo and he does openly support both.

[morgieb]

Would almost certainly be a better poster if given less attention.

But opebo is still a huge FF, right?

[windjammer]

He needs to improve, but he's a nice guy, so lean FF

[Antonio the Sixth]

Option 3 (normal)

Seriously, I agree with what most people say. He could be a decent poster if he dropped his insufferable, pompous act.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I have really tried to be patient with him, but he's simply becoming worse and worse.

Smug and sanctimonious - sign of most on the left nowadays.

[Nhoj]

Every time I feel like giving him a chance he immediately dash's it by adding some horrible new thing to his posting.[islamophobia, cogendism, etc.]

Only on the True Left, my friend.

I question his convictions, since he himself has admitted to "trying different ideologies" like it was a sport.  Like... I'm going to believe THIS today and we'll see how it feels.  Strange to say the least. 

Ultimately though, he gets a resounding FF, as ALL entertaining and humorous posters get from me. 

[Bacon King]

He has the capacity to display wit, intelligence, and collegiality when he wants to, and when he does he's great. I don't like his caustic affected personality of a brazen ideologue though, especially when he decides to spontaneously flip between different sets of beliefs (which honestly ruins the entire act).

Net FF but needs improvement. A respected IRC institution

You're not the only one who feels this way.

Pretty much this.

Either Snowstalker is going throught an annoying phase or he a Bushie-style masochistic attention seeker. Hopefully he'll return to his pre-2013 quality.

Yes, he should go back to posting about My Little Pony.

How is old is he?

How is old is he?

Will turn 18 in a week.
