Of those who posted so far in this thread, I would say The Brain. I also agree with Valmy. Possibly also Caliga.

These are the people who (almost) never piss me off.

For the record, I don't think agreeable is (just) the opposite of stubborn. It also has to include, to me, qualities such as mellow, having a sense of humour and not being abrasive. I have changed my mind on many things on Languish but I would not consider myself agreeable.

You've become a helluvalot more agreeable since your time sitting in the corner.

I mean in the sense of being much less of a dickhead.

Yeah but I am conciously trying and besides only because I am more agreeable it does not mean I am objectively agreeable. :P

What I'm curious about is which posters do you think are most likely to change their position when faced with a reasonable argument or new evidence?
This kind of formulation is biased against people that are always right to begin with, and thus have no need to agree with opposing arguments.

If we kept him exiled for one more year, we could've made a Jacob out of him.  :hmm:

ok I guess Jacob meant it in the second sense while I was talking about the first. Second type is too boring as a person though. :P
