Opinion of Santander

[Antonio the Sixth]

This thread and the gradual tide turning in it is a classic example of the failure of the "I don't agree with all his views but nice guy, FF " way of thinking that's way too prevalent here.

It's simple: this logic is a valid one to a certain extent (surely even YOU don't believe we should have positive opinions only of people who agree with us on everything, do you??) but breaks down after some points. Everyone has their non-negotiable values.

He tried defending Kim Davis in one thread = HP.

Seeing as how I've seen people say things like that over someone who is a North Korea apologist and was openly calling for gulags for and massacres and purges of "class enemies" I'd say some people here really don't know where to draw the line.

If you're talking about TNF, I made it clear long ago that I didn't want anything to do with this lunatic.

You maybe. But...

Oh and actually from one of those threads:

Ideological differences aside, I find his attitude extremely irritating at times. Still, he's a principled and articulate poster who often provides an interesting perspective and puts effort into a lot of his posts. Obvious FF.

That was before he went off the deep end. He was a fairly decent poster until a year or so ago.

Edit: Actually, if you go to the last page of that very thread, you'll find the first exchange where I realized how hackish he was and called him out on it. Still, at that point he wasn't a North Korea apologist yet.

[Senator-elect Spark]

Huge FF. Amazing individual although we may disagree on certain policy issues.

Here's what this nice guy, FF said about Seriously?

He's a top-tier poster, imo.

And you guys wonder why AAD mocks you.

Does AAD think we care?

He wasn't this terrible/edgy/Trumpy a month ago, to be fair.

He's also a much nicer person if you get rid of politics.

[Antonio the Sixth]

That's not a very good argument, since being mocked by AAD is a badge of honor to me.

[Coolface Sock #42069]

The exact kind of person I want out of my party. HP.

Politics aside, however, he's not that bad.

So you disagree with AAD that thinking "Nice guy, FF " for any person with disgusting views who isn't blatantly confrontational usually is mock worthy?

No, I'm just saying bringing up AAD isn't a good argument.

Actually nowhere in this thread or that long empty quote chain did you explain WHY.

(Also funny that Classic Bigot joined in since he did register on AAD but was laughed off.)

The problems with AAD, some of which are related and some of which aren't, I have found to be these (and don't say I don't understand, I'm decently active over there):

1) Hive-mind thinking: people like Classic are "laughed off" just because of their views - which, bad or good, still deserve to be heard

2) Brutal ageism: again - people like dar, Classic, and myself are ignored or disliked because of only their age, regardless of how much they contribute.

3) Bandwagon liking/disliking: depending on the poster, one person might get 14 likes for a post that another person would have 0 likes or even dislikes on

4) Lack of a What-Ifs board: best part of this forum IMO

5) They steal our maps
