In the TFP contest
results announced yesterday, roachboy received the most votes from members in the category, "best presenter". I congratulate him and I think he is an excellent choice for this award.
My point here is that I happen to agree with him politically, on almost all of what he "presents" here. His has been a major influence in the development and fine tuning of my own political POV. But...I confess...I didn't vote in the contest.
I am wondering if that is also the case with anyone else, because I don't see it coming through in the posts of more than a couple of others here....hence the question asked in the thread title.
If there is not a general awareness of or agreement with his....in contemporary America, anyway....seemingly out of the mainstream political views, can there be much of an awareness of how those views work into his posts on other forums, besides this one, at TFP?
In other words, if a member regarded as "best presenter", site wide, on this forum, is not able to garner much of an influence, i.e....a change, or a reaction in/from other members, with regard to their political views, who...or what, do you think, might do that....influence changes in your political POV?
Or, do I have it wrong....his posts have had a profound influence on your political POV, because you're looking at "insert political faction here" in a kinder, gentler way?
roachboy, please vanquish any stage fright tendencies in your forum persona, and weigh in, here!
