The POV pusher's lexicon, continued

More guidance for deciphering ANI:
  • Consensus: I think so.
  • No consensus: I don't think so.
  • Groupthink: Nearly everyone disagrees with me.
  • Canvassing: They disagree with me twice.
  • Cabal: They disagree with me three times.
  • No cabal: Six of my buddies join the thread in the space of eight minutes, all copy/pasting my opinion.

The POV pusher's lexicon

To a POV pusher:

  • Impartial: anyone who hasn't said no yet.
  • Fair: anyone who agrees.
  • Biased: anyone who's said no.
  • Corrupt: anyone who's said no and made it stick.
