FWIW, I think there may be the following categories of posters on the board:
1. consistently push the narrative that Lou is good;
2. think that Lou is good;
3. think that despite some negatives, Lou is a net positive;
4. ambivalent about Lou;
5. think that despite some positives, Lou is a net negative;
6. think that Lou is bad;
7. consistently push the narrative that Lou is bad.
And I think what happens sometimes is that posters who might fall within categories 3-5 read a post by a 1-2 or 6-7 poster and disagree, and then get called a 1 or 7.
