Hope that didn't bring back too many bad memories, but you were certainly one of the people I was thinking of as I wrote it.

Good memories of working with you. Still chuckle over the one girl who accused me of being a Fedfan.

That was funny. :laydownlaughing And serves as a perfect example of my point concerning certain users thinking it's all about mods being against their favorite.

It's a fan-base dependent prism, in my experience, as an admin/mod. The Roger fans think it's a Rafa board, the Rafa fans think it's a Roger board, the Djokovic fans think it's about everyone but Novak, the Serena fans think it's a Maria board, the Maria fans think it's a Serena board, etc.
If a mod tells a Federer fan to quit doing something, it's because we're pro-Rafa; if a mod tells a Rafa fan the same thing, it's because we're a bunch of Fed fans; if a mod tells a Novak fan to stop, we're Novak haters. Blah, blah, blah.

Darth, GSM, britbox, Front, Federberg, and again, I'm sure I'm forgetting at least a couple, are pure Federer fans (as well as pure whoever-Nadal-is-facing-on-the-day) fans. Can we count Fiero?
Kieran, Moxie, tented, Carol, A-P and myself are pure Rafa fans and again, I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple.
Now, I may have missed a few here and there that might tilt things ever so slightly in Nadal fans' favor as far as pure numbers go, but I think it's obvious the difference is quite small. So no, I really don't see how this is a "Nadal board" as far as fan-base goes because this would imply there's a significant Nadal majority, when there really isn't.
However, I'll say that much, this is a "Nadal board" in terms of discussion. These forums are dominated
by Nadal conversations, whether positive or negative so it makes it seem like he has the most fans and the most "dlslikers." I think this is just a result of the fact that Novak fans and Fed fans don't mind each other these days, but they don't get along with Rafa fans, and Rafa fans don't get along with anybody.

I'm kinda pissed that there's no Fed fan on that list. I feel like I'm forgetting someone. Kieran, help me out...

Not north or south ... I think Murat is heading west by that post in reply to BrokenShoelace.
