Discussion Overview

The thread revolves around participants sharing their opinions on various members of the Physics Forums community, categorizing them based on traits such as wit, kindness, helpfulness, and other subjective qualities. The discussion is informal and light-hearted, focusing on personal impressions rather than objective evaluations.

Discussion Character

  • Meta-discussion
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • Participants list individuals they associate with specific traits, such as "witty," "humorist," "kind," and "helpful."
  • Some participants express uncertainty about their choices, indicating they do not know many members well enough to provide comprehensive lists.
  • There are repeated mentions of certain members, such as Evo, Moonbear, and Smurf, across various categories.
  • Some participants humorously acknowledge the subjective nature of their selections, with comments about personal biases and the playful tone of the thread.
  • Discussions of relationships among members, including engagements and friendships, are interspersed with the trait listings.
  • Several participants engage in light banter and jokes about their choices and the community dynamics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no clear consensus on who embodies each trait, as different participants provide varying lists and opinions. The discussion remains largely unresolved with multiple competing views on the characteristics of different members.

Contextual Notes

Participants express limitations in their knowledge of the community, which affects their ability to provide definitive answers. The subjective nature of the traits discussed means that many responses are based on personal impressions rather than objective criteria.

An almighty crash. Tens of thousands of pounds, you see. That's got to dent the floorboards a tad. (This is where you say: 'sterling humour', and I say 'thanks', and... and... I've regressed.)

I'm the strangest Canadian. After all, it's highly strange for a Canadian to be British, no?
