> I don’t often agree with **Shodan** , but as has been noted by a few of us, **FooledByAlmostEveryone** has the rare (perhaps “special” is a better word) ability to unite people across the political spectrum due to his pig headedness, strange views of political issues, and often contradictory postings. Not to mention the frustration of communicating with someone who butchers the English language (although claiming to be a native speaker) and who can’t figure out how the quote function works.

This is from the Egyptian Thread. NfbW’s talking about the coup quote again, but I think his last sentence is telling:

> [@Is civil war in Egypt averted? 90% yes for new Constitution.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-civil-war-in-egypt-averted-90-yes-for-new-constitution/679071/927):

I think the take-home message is that if you disagree with something he has said, actually point out a contradiction that he has made, or say he’s mistaken–you’re the unreasonable forum member in his mind.

Regardless of political leanings, I think most people here would say he’s the one who isn’t very reasonable.

But apparently it’s all our fault because we can’t “properly understand” his “context”.
