I went to user list and sorted by likes and clearly AF is the most loved persona on PatNet.
I agree with your conclusion, but not your reasoning. Counting likes and dislikes is meaningless because fanboys will like every post in their clique and dislike every post by someone in an opposing clique.
The correct way to measure popularity is to calculate a popularity matrix based on likes/dislikes using the following algorithm.
1. Person A's opinion of person B is the number of likes of B by A minus the number of dislikes of B by A divided by the number of posts of B.
opinion(A, B) = (like(A, B) - dislike(A, B)) / postCount(B)
This value will be in the range [-1.0, +1.0].
2. The opinion of a set of users S of person B is the sum of the opinions of each member in S divided by the number of users in S.
opinion(S, B) = sum(opinion(S[i], B)) / order(S)
This value will also be in the range [-1.0, +1.0].
This formula works for any set of persons in the community including the entire community. So you can ask how the entire community feels about a person, and in most cases that will be neutral since most community members won't express an opinion of person B.
However, you can also ask who are the people who like B and who dislike him. For example, you can partition the community into groups based on the value of S[i] as it falls into the ranges
[-1.0, -0.5] venomously hate
(-0.5, -0.2] hate
(-0.2, -0.1] dislike
(-0.1, -0.01] disapprove
(-0.01, 0.01) neutral
[0.01, 0.1] approve
[0.1, 0.2) like
[0.2, 0.5) friends
[0.5, 1.0] harmony
If you partition the entire community based on the above criteria for all users B to form a set of partitions P, you can generate the cliques in your community by forming sets C where C[i] is a set formed by P in which includes persons who were in the same P[i] for many i's. Many can be throttled like 10% or 20%.

You loves me long time, PatNet!
I win!
You could stand for the Patnet Presidential elections.
I would like to know your stand on the following important issues:
1. How do you intend handling Kim Jon, when he tells us what movies we cannot watch?
2. How would you handle ISIS, the nice guys who take women for sex slaves?
Thank you Mr. President.

What this means to me, honestly, is there are a bunch of liberals on here who find it neccesary to "dislike" everything posted by one of these guys.
Point taken: In all fairness, liberals are indeed the only ones with a knee-jerk "dislike" reflex here.

I think we can all admit that we come to PatNet solely to bitch at other users and get our daily recommended value of AF, and the later is the more enjoyable of the experiences.
the captain & CIC have somehow vaunted from under CLs 380 to well over 12K each, with CIC blowing the doors off everyone breeching the 14K dislike plateau.
Yeah, that's because shit stinks.

I know you had to try, but usually you're better than this.
Hey, how come you guys, with your skills, are nowhere near the top? If I was you I would crawl into a hole and hope no one finds me.

I fucked your mother in her pussy one time and she had to shit.
So I told her to go ahead. I than took her turd and used it for lube while I fucked her pussy.
9 months later; came out a little shit like you that originated from feces, semen and human waste.

Anyone who is pro-torture cannot take the moral or class high ground on any subject matter.

You can be pro torture and still be a nice person.
No you can't. That is a trollish statement. You said that trollingly. :)
Yes, but is it a troll that makes me most beloved of Patnet?

I think this is a good thread. I didn't look at the thread.

I was thrown out of college for trolling my Liberal teacher in my test answers.
I seem to have an uncanny knack of trolling by merely standing up for what I believe in. It's more a talent than a curse really.

That's called "failing", and it differs from trolling. It means that you are a fuckup.

Is it a surprise that if so much creativity and imagination is involved in his interpretation of current events, that this would even be even more the case in the way he spins his own personal history ?

I'm just kidding y'all I didn't even go to college I make 6 figures and am not in debt up to my eyeballs for it.
I was smart enough to teach my self my passions in life.
I've got better things to do with my time than to sit 6 to 8 hours a day in a classroom listening to some politically confused loser who couldn't cut it in a real world industry vertical trying to tell me what's up. Not on MY dime!
and not today uh uh uh!

My favorite poster on Pat.net remains the guy that ignores you, but sees your posting before he signs in and in a complete lack of emotional control is compelled to post in response.
Even though hes ignoring you.

there's no verb in this sentence.

there's no verb in this sentence.
I think it is actually a part of the previous sentence and should just be considered a prepositional phrase, i.e. Jazz neglected to add the preposition as.
His sentence structure is really quite verbose and oblique which we have all come to recognize as his style.

You come to patnet for honest POVs and awareness of interesting and emerging topics. So trolls are best ignored because they take up brain-space while forming an ad hoc dog pack of knee-jerks and button pushers ever failing to offer an honest thought. They even manage to abuse the idea of voting something like/dislike.
Not sure you are serious. I you are, I got some news for ya....

Worthwhile thoughts emerge nested between the mindlessness, but not as well. With the simple abusers and the reliably inept removed from one's display the patnet read takes on a better character; without the likes of CaptainShuddup, Call it Crazy, SoftShell, indigenous, and Strategist, there is still plenty of entertainment here.
Oh ok, everyone who has a point of view different than yours is a troll. Got it.

Who pisses off the other users the most? Let's see.
mysql> select username, dislikes / likes as trollishness from users where dislikes > 100 order by trollishness desc limit 10;
mysql> select username, ignoredby from users order by ignoredby desc limit 10;
The intersection of those sets is Ruki, CaptainShuddup, Honest Abe, Cloud.
