Opinion of Gully Foyle

[The Mikado]

One of our smartest posters, and someone that always has something worth saying.  It helps that we're on the same page about a lot of things.

[Joe Republic]

Massive FF.

In before BRTD shows up and explains why.

his and Trondheim's contributions give us a window into what Al would be capable of were he not busy being a miserable and undesirable person.

[Mechaman]

FF

He's definitely not my most favorite person in the world, but he does have a tendency to give interesting contributions to this forum.  On that, I judge him to be an FF on content.

[Хahar 🤔]

One of the best people here, of course. I'd say that he should come here more often, but that would be a waste of time.

[opebo]

I always think 'Girl Friend' when I'm abbreviating his name.

[Phony Moderate]

Essential.

[Torie]

A most erudite man.

[Oakvale]

An integral part of the forum, who should really post more. One of my favourite contributors.

F to tha F

[Insula Dei]

Obvious FF.

[opebo]

A most erudite man.

True, but still horrible.

Obvious FF

[Tetro Kornbluth]

Horrible person - he hasn't even started his book yet.

[afleitch]

I have no idea what he's talking about. I wish more posters could be like that.

[Gustaf]

I usually enjoy reading his posts, although his dislike of me makes it hard for me to like him as such.

I don't dislike you, Gustaf, just whenever you play your 'reasonable man' persona. The persona is the problem, not you.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

That above post actually improved my opinion of him.

What is that persona and why do you think I play it?

The persona you play whenever you talk about economics or attack pseudo-fashionable left-wing shibboleths (the reason why it is a 'persona' is because you seem to be fitting yourself from one straightjacket to another, when both positions require a great deal of intellectual dishonesty).

Great FF.  His posts are outstanding.

Horrible person - he hasn't even started his book yet.

So, it's going to be a novel-length version of the liar paradox?  The FF meter continues its upward trend...

And don't feel bad, man.  I'd probably be done with a complete version of my own book ms if it weren't for all the time I spent on here.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Uber FF, duh

I don't see any intellectual dishonesty there so you'd have to elaborate? Nor do I see any straitjacket involved.

It is kind of tough to deal with this sort of thing, without examples to parse of the alleged at once strait-jacketed and intellectually dishonest texts, isn't it?
