Most of those have no influence what-so-ever.

The post of the thread.

The people with real sway only post when needed, get their point over and leave the rest to meditate cogitate and inwardly digest the wisdom in their words. Not many of those sort of posters on this forum nowadays. I can see exactly where you are coming from, Ben. Can fully empathise with your fustration at the way the original post has now been subverted into a popularity contest.

Or is it because you weren't mentioned?

[Brother Leon]

Anyone can get it if I think they are wrong.

As for sway then it is Shaun.


If Patick had the most sway we would all ask the forum what photo is best for our FB profile.

Lol, it wasn't because I wasn't mentioned. The only reason I have any sway at all is because I'm a mod, without that status I would have none.

I understood what he meant ...It is a well used term imo

Honestly. Seeing the whole forum overall and being realistic about it and who has the most influence?

*Livia
*Shaun
*Nathan
*Locke
*Novo
*GypsyGoth
*Scott
*Niamh
*Kate


A few more could probably be added, but these guys seem to have the most influence over the forum. Unless you mean swag, instead of sway?

tsk, not in the West Country it isn't

[MTVN]

Ah yes I understand sway in the way that Ben uses it there but everyone seemed to be talking about who was the most "fierce" and stuff

Behave, was a joke.

You know i love you, you antipodean loving plum you.

People have sway by being respected, in order to be respected you have to show respect to the others point of view. You show respect to others. That's something I just cant do, my mum taught be not to lie.

Sway means influential. Like to sway people's opinions/decisions/beliefs.

In your opinion....Its not being realistic if you can't accept other people have their own view is it?

I try to respect those that respect me, those that don't feel my wrath.

Indeed it does.

There are very few posters on here now that can influence anyone consistantly.

I accept other people have their opinions, but some people on that list have no influence over people whatsoever.

Yeah, that's true. It's just I use a different type of "sway" to that. Probably just me regional background and that.

Who said ''fierce''? It may be a yorkshire term but 'sway' is used as a term relating to the ability to change opinions or be very steadfast in theirs I thought.
