How is Mat scoring highest as an "opportunist" on the Quick Poll? Cannoli - 02/10/2009 06:06:58 PM 1490 Views
I picked "Hero" instead of "Loyal Friend" Darth_Katie - 02/10/2009 06:12:39 PM 903 Views
In tGH he was affected by the dagger, which increased his paranoia and so forth. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 06:22:34 PM 965 Views
This is very true. Darth_Katie - 02/10/2009 06:54:57 PM 875 Views
I was about to ask if "opportunist" must mean "selfish?" beetnemesis - 02/10/2009 06:49:41 PM 1053 Views
All of that for the quickpoll? Seriously? *NM* Raforsaken - 02/10/2009 07:08:42 PM 406 Views
It's always a good idea to look up words with which one is unfamiliar. nossy - 02/10/2009 08:53:12 PM 801 Views
True. Especially because it turns out that "opportunist" IS only negative beetnemesis - 03/10/2009 12:09:49 AM 830 Views
No. It's not. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/10/2009 12:46:35 AM 923 Views
Short answer: people have different opinions from you. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 07:13:05 PM 1000 Views
Yes. These opinions are, technically speaking, "incorrect." *NM* Cannoli - 02/10/2009 07:15:34 PM 442 Views
Or: your opinion is short-sighted and simplistic. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 07:32:59 PM 390 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 855 Views
Your "evidence" is, once again, based on your opinion. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 10:59:25 PM 879 Views
Wow, RugbyPlayingAshaman going up against Cannoli... Napoleon62 - 03/10/2009 02:49:37 AM 987 Views

But some facts are not in dispute or matters of opinion. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 08:38:05 PM 831 Views
I think it depends how you look at the definition. nossy - 02/10/2009 08:52:03 PM 960 Views
