Give a detailed, sincere, brutally honest description of the previous poster

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I'm really not quite sure what to make of him. Presents himself as a Democrat but his positions on several issues seem, for lack of a better way to phrase this, authoritarian in a somewhat reactionary way and his general ideology is a little hard for me to nail down. I've never known him to be anything other than polite.

Who are we on, MormDem?

MormDem is in general a solid poster and, broadly speaking, 'in the right' politically (not on the right, certainly). There's a definite kind of gross frisson to the way he approaches gender issues but this doesn't seem to be coming from a place of malice and, to whatever extent it is or could be a problem, can probably be moderated as he matures. Until then, it is admittedly kind of annoying when it comes up. But he's serious and sincere and doesn't dissemble, and that counts for a lot.

On the negative side, Maddy seems almost totally disinterested in economic issues, which saddens me

I'm not, it's just that there are posters who are much more eloquent and forceful advocates for the democratic-socialist economic policies that I prefer than I could be--i.e. I don't feel that my perspective on economic issues is terribly unique on this forum, nor do I feel that I'd be especially good at presenting it.
