Well, it's hard to say how much of it are inaccurate assumptions as opposed to how much is believed because of the malicious lies circulated by manipulative trolls.

The most outrageously stupid complaint I've heard recently from several people is, in fact, based on a claim that one poster has repeatedly tried to spread: That I somehow do anything for attention. This is despite the fact that, among PotD's active regulars, I post *very* few topics -- here or elsewhere. In fact, since 2013, Gamefaqs lists my activity as follows:

Message Board Activity (since 2013)
Visited the Message Boards 1702 days
Posted a message on the boards 39775
Posted a topic on the boards 698

That means that topics account for less than 2% of my posts. That's the OPPOSITE of looking for attention, which would involve a high number of topics relative to the number of replies in topics. Compare that to other posters who might post several topics a day, many of which are devoted to themselves. Likewise, if I wanted attention, why would I bother ignoring anybody? After all, those trolls pay the most attention.

Otherwise, because the board tends to skew strongly to the hard-left -- where Bernie is insisted to be a moderate -- I'm often accused of being conservative or, even more erroneously, a Republican (liberal vs conservative is a matter of opinion, but political parties have definite affiliations so that claim is patently false). However, EVERY major test that's been floated around this board has given me the same result: I'm a left-leaning centrist



I no longer have the political compass test results but, when I pasted them, they showed me slightly left of center and somewhat towards libertarianism (as opposed to authoritarianism)

Which, of course, is kind of a general trend since I'm naturally inclined towards balance:


For the most part, any "conservative leanings" are either actually libertarian in nature (the political compass test had me a third way or thereabouts in that direction (as opposed to authoritarian)) or counterbalanced by liberal leanings. Or it's based solely on my objection to SJWism.



(Although I think the actual Carlin quote was "PC is tyranny pretending to be manners.")
