	10 most leftish posters of Poly Enter the AD-FREE zone

I was thinking of setting up a database of the most left-leaning ones, so that if I ever get around to it I could.. ermm, send them candy... and maybe a little teddy bear or something for good luck...

Anyway. In all friendliness, it'd be interesting to see how people view these strange creatures, so post the 10 you think are the most leftish in their views. Yes, I'm aware of the inevitable spin-off thread that'll come from this, but that should be equally interesting.

Let's see, my picks are (in alphabetical order),

Agathon
Az
chegitz guevara
Dr Zoidberg
General Ludd
Oncle Boris
Sava
Spiffor
St Leo
Urban Ranger

Agathon is by far the leader. Nobody else comes close.

They aren't naive by any means. They're just stupid.

They're naive to think that things would work at the far left, or the far right.

I don't consider Fascists to be naive.

It would be interesting to see who everyone considers as moderate.

We don't have too many moderates. I think Imran is one.

Yep. And anyone who says different is a crypto-fascist.

I figure most lefties classify me as a right-winger, and most right-wingers classify me as a lefie.

Is monkspider still around? I'd probably put him in my top ten of US lefties, if not globally.

I wouldn't call you a moderate. I would say you're left on some things, and right on some things, with about even balance.

And yes, I think monkspider is the only person who is even comparable to Agathon in leftiness.

Thank you, I wouldn't call me a moderate either. Nor Imran, really.

People who describe themselves as moderates are people who just want to gain the intellectual respect of those whose respect is worth squat.

Fence sitting is good for sore bollocks, and that's about it.

Well, while we are posting flamebait, here's my Ignore List. I use it to make Apolyton more like Slashdot. On Slashdot, you have to click-through to see low-rated replies. We don't have per-post scoring here, so I have to do it by user. It works well enough. This lets me both quickly skim over threads and click-through to see every post.

I think I'd prefer for Apolyton to default to ignoring everyone and then let me whitelist certain people, but whatever.:P


I don't know about moderates, but we need more posters like Spiffor and Ben Kenobi who form polite, cogent arguments.

I love your ignore list. It's totally nonpartisan, and based entirely on asshattery and arrogance. I think it's a little overbearing, though.

Sava shouldn't be on the list, he's a social democrat, not a socialist. Aggie, Che, and Kid probably belong at the top. Oh, and if Spiffor is on the list so should, I. Our views are almost identical.

But Spiffor has the guts to identify himself as a communist. You don't.

Chronologically speaking, the oldest additions are at the top, so it kinda started off partisan.

I would like to point out that St. Leo blocked me for killing seals before blocking me for my exquisite posts.

St. Leo ignores all of the great characters on the board.

Or it could be that moderates are more reasonable, and are more likely to keep both feet on the ground of reality.
