Oh just ask them. I am sure you will get colorful answers. Hypocrite, troll, etc etc. They will have all kinds of excuses. Long story short people don't like the fact I lean hard to the left and don't fit into the current political leanings of Gaf and as a result I come off as a contrarian to them, but in reality I am just going against the political grain of Gaf. Which doesn't make me a contrarian despite what they say. It just means I don't lean hard to the right. That's not the same thing.
Though this shouldn't be an excuse to break the rules of the forum when it comes to insulting other members, but that doesn't seem to matter much anymore on here.
