What type of poster do you prefer?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Poster A: A complete nonentity. Not the slightest bit offensive or interesting. This poster just posts generic red or blue avatar talking points, one word replies to polls, lots of empty quoting, and if they start any topic or discussion it'll only be on a hackeneyed one already done to death multiple times. They don't have any opinions outside of the standard archetype, and don't focus on making maps or commentary on interesting election anomalies aside from really overdone ones like "Why did Dukakis win Iowa in 1988?" Not a spammer, just general white noise.

Poster B: Contributes a lot, offers insight on obscure elctions, makes maps, does a lot of projects and often brings interesting topics to light. However is extremely insensistive and frequently makes abrasive comments, upsets people all the time, and brings up massive controversy in general resulting in a lot of FF/HP polls about them that are sharply polarized. Atlas would be a lot different without their contributions, many of which are invaluable, but many people are upset at them and would like to see them gone too because for too many the bad outweighs the good.

Like Salieri and Mozart?

[Goldwater]

I fear that I am the first type.

[Joe Republic]

Reported for starting a poll about yourself

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

So, is Opebo better than neutral? No.

[Representative Joe Mad]

I fear that I am the first type.

Eh no fear, pretty much feel the exact some way...unless that horrifies you, which in that case, sorry. ):

Option 2, though Oldies sounds like the inspiration.

[morgieb]

On average Option 2. Most of the real HP's here don't even really fit the "interesting topics to light" and "contributes a lot" parts.

[Gustaf]

I don't mind people being abrasive. It sounds a bit like this is describing say Al or Hashemite and I like them.

[Mr. Morden]

I'll take a write-in option:

Poster C: Doesn't make a new poll every day, and doesn't like Family Guy, Ingress, opebo, or Tweed's post about "The Group".

[Lambsbread]

I voted poster A because it depends how controversial and/or abrasive poster B is. If we're talking like Al or Hashemite or Phil in terms of abrasiveness or opebo/jmfcst in terms of being controversial, then poster B would be fine. Generally, however, I'd prefer someone that's inoffensive and bland over someone who's just trying to cause trouble, regardless of what they contribute.
