What does that have to do with Street Pharmacist knowing if I believe them or not?

She won the miss America pageant. That's a pretty big consensus.

It's just the popular opinion around around here

Sorry. That was a jest. I do enjoy your posts most of the time, but you must admit a very large portion of your posts go against popular opinion

I think that I am very vocal of my dislike of the Flames and a lot of their moves recently so that has made a perception of what my posts are so if I say something that someone doesn;t agree with it often gets spun as me being contrarian.

As mentioned before I am a very vocal hater of the Canucks, Oilers and Riders 3 of the easiest "contrarian" views I could take on this site. I have been a big supporter of the 3 big moves this summer (Monahan draft pick, Burke hiring, Gio Captaincy) which all again would be easy to go opposite on if that was my goal here.

I have something like 15,000 posts here of which most go unnoticed because they are run of the mill posts but the times I do go against someone's opinion it often gets blown overboard because of people's opinion of me that they already have.

This thread is a perfect example. I didn't find someone attractive, didn't say she was ugly didn't say she was horrible just that I didn't find her that attractive. That isn't something that should be that big of a deal, people have different opinions on attractiveness all the time but instead it somehow is now about me being contrarian and only doing it because I go against "popular opinion."

It's the way you come across when responding to someone saying she was stunning.

You could have said something like "I don't think she is stunning, but I can see why some people find her attractive, just not my taste"

But instead you respond with:

I would say people should complain that recently (this one included) Miss America hasn't exactly been great looking women.

That is just screaming for attention and several pages worth of replies.

Don't pretend you don't know what you're doing.

Yes what a crazy response to say that everybody has different opinions on looks.

I can see how a controversial response like that would just scream out for people to reply with post after post after post.
