It's not true and I'll give a good example. Some years ago Stolly was mocking folk on here for discussing politics. He thought the forum a wrong place to discuss serious matters. He even insisted that he never took 'things too seriously,' which became quite amusing when we discovered he was only annoyed with the politics thread because it diverted attention from his own adventure thread.

Anyway my point is if opinions are fixed Stolly wouldn't be on a politics thread taking things seriously.
