I thought I'd create this thread just to gine a chance to say if there is is/are poster(s) who just seem to you to say what you think. It's definitely not a poll and is not to be a hierarchy of who is identified the most. And definitely not about who is a better Caro fan. And no saying who you disagree with the most either. Just a chance to mention the poster(s) you find yourself thinking the most "that's exactly what I think".

For me - it has to be goldenlox. There must be something I disagree with but I can't actually remember anything goldenlox posted that I disagree with. So many "that's exactly what I think" posts. Used to just post in GM about Caro but glad now a regular poster in Caro's forum as well.

I also have to mention Chrissie Fan. Now (unlike goldenlox) I know we do have just a few things we have different opinions on. But Chrissie Fan is so respectful of all players. And I've read a lot of posts where I think "I just couldn't add to that or say anything that I could possibly improve on it".

Thanks for the nice words, terjw.

I think the level of debate here is of a much higher standard than at GM because here nobody is really interested in scoring points at the expense of others. I guess one could say that we have two major factions here - the optimists and the pessimists. Since I'm somewhere in the middle of those two extremes I think I have the most in common with you and goldenlox. Having said that, I think that everyone here has often interesting things to say. Even when I don't agree I can usually understand why they feel how they feel. And since 90% of the stuff we discuss here is a matter of opinion rather than fact nobody is necessarily wrong either. If you put it all together this forum probably represents the ultimate in Woz expertise.

I don't believe any one else here shares my views to the same degree and that is a good thing. This forum could not possibly survive two of me.

I guess I identify with the other "pessimists" (protoss and Jimmie48). I feel kind of sad for Jimmie48. I can clearly remember he used to be much more optimistic than me and we got into some disagreements late last year about me being too much of a downer. My bad attitude must have worn him down as he now seems to agree with me more often than not. I hope for his sake that it is just a temporary condition.

Not exactly like I think but Buri and BHS sorta typified the so-what-if-Caro-loses thing.

As opposed to my view which is every time she loses the world starts collapsing around me.

Well, this is a fan section and you are not a fan therefore don't be surprised that people are often fed up with you.

People = you, nobody else takes offense really.

No, I just call spade a spade. You are not a real fan and your posts here show it very clearly. Had you posted similar stuff like you do here in other player´s sections I can imagine that a few would have already banned you.
People like you just try spoil atmosphere for real fans.

I don't know what "real fans" are but people who accuse others of not being fans are surely not among them. The only one that spoils the atmosphere in here is you, everybody else gets along just fine.
