I'm talking about the forum in general. I don't know who you are personally.

My point was a general one. You suggest some simply mirror views whilst asking for agreement in this post. either the latter is pointless because if one agrees one is a phony, or at least indistinguishable from one, or you will count those who agree with you as holding valid opinions before applying the presumption that they are a phoney, which you appear to do to others who agree with the "popular" posters in order to become popular or liked. Either one is regrettable, as is your claim that their is an objective view ever to be had and furthermore if their is this view becomes preferable (or you have misused the term objectively to mean before knowledge of others opinions, in which case ignore the second point).

You misunderstand. Agreeing with someone's views in and of itself doesn't make you a phony, agreeing with someone's views [i]for the purpose of becoming liked/popular[/i] does.
