My observation, with no dog in the fight other than respect for the individual, is that Mono has an opinion on a lot of things and at least as far as the comments I have read seems to have the experience and knowledge sufficient to have a considered opinion on many matters.Nothing to do with agreeing or not agreeing. You pick arguments with multiple people on this forum and post an opinion on anything and everything, hence you are the “Top Monthly Contributor”. Not everyone has the time or inclination.
He also loves to discuss differing views, and will give and take as much shit as each thread warrants - as often crossing the line of common decency as others cross it towards him. In his defence, I see others engaging in mockery before he returns fire unless it is one of his long term sparring partners.
Mono openly proclaimed long ago how addictive he finds posting in this forum. His range of views sees his influence across the forum widely, where others (like me) restrict their addiction to a few threads of specific interest.
Whether people agree or not with the opinions he voices, it seems ridiculous that anyone would be targeting him for expressing more of them than others have.
Madre de Mono! Is that something to fight over? He has never said "I post more so I am better" - that mockery has been crafted by others.
