Opinion of BRTD

This guy, if legit, needs to calm down.

[Phony Moderate]

He's the type of poster who is liked by a silent majority, whereas, say, opebo was disliked by a silent majority.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

On politics and stats, polling, etc........Excellent

The rest........ugh.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

This guy, if legit, needs to calm down.

It's safe to say the forum has been telling him to calm down since 2004.

FF. Okay poster and good person. We disagree on a lot of issues and I find him obsessive, but I'm not sure what exactly warrants the 3rd option

Tis a joke on how he overreacts to everything

Despite his idiosyncrasies and obsessive qualities, he actually brings something to the table.  You have to admit, his posts have an original, unmistakable voice to them.  And, many of his posts are entertaining in their own way and he actually has some good insights on politics and geography, unlike a good percentage of the posters here.

I'll take that over annoying pishers like you who bring nothing to the table.

FF obviously.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Much more bearable on ignore.

[Beet]

One of the few people who really make the forum what it is.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

I like him, but I can't fathom what his "deal" is ... like I think I wouldn't mind a brief bio.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

A character.

[Lief 🗽]

A forum giant, in whose shadow we all meekly toil away.

[Eraserhead]

Massive FF.

[Sopranos Republican]

For better or for worse, atlas wouldn't be the same without him.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Should be a mod.

[Paul Kemp]

Oh cool. A poll on someone we just had a[nother] poll about last month. Great to see these.

[Vosem]

FI (forum institution). Obviously we disagree on a lot of stuff but I rather like him.

Should be a mod.

^^This.

Either way, protip- one does not disturb the FF/HP paradigm

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Thanks everyone! Like to hear the good words after a couple of the worst days of my life.

I like him, but I can't fathom what his "deal" is ... like I think I wouldn't mind a brief bio.

What do you want to know?

I was born December 18, 1983 in Bismarck, ND. My parents actually lived in the Standing Rock Reservation near the South Dakota border but had no suitable hospitals closer. I grew up there, one of the few fully white kids in my class, before moving to Bismarck at age 8, graduated from high school there. That's about the time I got involved in my "scene", discovered my new type of music, and then became a stereotypical bitter teenage atheist with radical politics. I graduated in 2002 and then attended Minnesota State University in Mankato where I became a Christian shortly after (I didn't become the brand I am today until 2011 though), graduated in late 2007, and moved to Minneapolis.

[Joe Republic]

HP

Massively inflated opinion of himself and his importance to any discussion.  Bizarrely monochrome view of the world, which is deliberately exaggerated for trolling purposes.  Thinks his passions for his hobbies and non-political opinions are shared by others, and cannot even acknowledge that they rarely are.

[The Dowager Mod]

One of my oldest forum friends, has his moments but he's a FF.
