How is Mat scoring highest as an "opportunist" on the Quick Poll? Cannoli - 02/10/2009 06:06:58 PM 1330 Views
I picked "Hero" instead of "Loyal Friend" Darth_Katie - 02/10/2009 06:12:39 PM 758 Views
In tGH he was affected by the dagger, which increased his paranoia and so forth. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 06:22:34 PM 822 Views
This is very true. Darth_Katie - 02/10/2009 06:54:57 PM 718 Views
I was about to ask if "opportunist" must mean "selfish?" beetnemesis - 02/10/2009 06:49:41 PM 926 Views
All of that for the quickpoll? Seriously? *NM* Raforsaken - 02/10/2009 07:08:42 PM 345 Views
It's always a good idea to look up words with which one is unfamiliar. nossy - 02/10/2009 08:53:12 PM 661 Views
True. Especially because it turns out that "opportunist" IS only negative beetnemesis - 03/10/2009 12:09:49 AM 694 Views
No. It's not. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/10/2009 12:46:35 AM 768 Views
Short answer: people have different opinions from you. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 07:13:05 PM 858 Views
Yes. These opinions are, technically speaking, "incorrect." *NM* Cannoli - 02/10/2009 07:15:34 PM 383 Views
Or: your opinion is short-sighted and simplistic. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 07:32:59 PM 327 Views
Whatever, mon. Hug it out with your boyfriends over some tea. Or you know, provide some evidence.. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 08:34:42 PM 726 Views
Your "evidence" is, once again, based on your opinion. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 10:59:25 PM 746 Views
Wow, RugbyPlayingAshaman going up against Cannoli... Napoleon62 - 03/10/2009 02:49:37 AM 840 Views

But some facts are not in dispute or matters of opinion. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 08:38:05 PM 694 Views
I think it depends how you look at the definition. nossy - 02/10/2009 08:52:03 PM 811 Views
