I’m pretty confident you’ll lose hands down and it’ll be a wakeup call that you need to be more versatile, more articulate… to be considered “forum material”.
Readers want to be entertained so controversy, hot tempers, humor, etc are all crowd pullers.
For example, an exchange of abuse between GR and Milti (the El Clásico) will probably have more people listening in and laughing than you telling us for the umpteenth time that the US is a warmonger.
It's amazing that such a hot intellectual as yourself still doesn't get it.
Go back to the OP. How many Forums have a day without any posts at all? Most have dozens. How many with so few regular posters? Why do you think that is? If somebody as low in the pecking order may be so presumptuous as to make a suggestion? Ask Michelle1967. Except of course, she never came back.
That's a clue Mr Get Well. You blow people away, getting a quick "entertaining" one-liner out of them.
Regarding your juvenile suggestion of a popularity poll (your do love your polls, don't you?). I'm sure you would have a resounding, Corbynesque, victory. The dozen or so people that post, without it seems minding how you regularly lay into them, would I'm sure vote overwhelmingly for you. Bahhhhhhh!
I have to add that pointing out that somebody is a self opinionated moron, with a habit of foul mouthed aggressive posting whilst drunk, isn't really moaning, it's the reality. But do continue with your bully-boy (keyboard warrior version of course) comments.
As far as Milti is concerned, regarding your point about the supposedly interesting camaraderie exchanges between you both, when I met up with him (a really nice, genuine guy) I got the distinct impression that he absolutely despises you.
You think of yourself as the heart-and-soul of this Forum. In reality you are probably the worst thing to happen to it. The principal driver of its indolence and lack of vitality.
This YouTube clip kind of sums you up I think. I hear that in the real world you're actually a "nice" person, not at all like the keyboard warrior version.
