Did you absolutely love it? Adore it? Or is this just the usual exaggeration for effect?

'usual'?.....what do you know about me?.....no simply 'I loved it' as in the conventional exclamation widely used in modern english to convey a sense of genuine 'entertainment', nothing unique in my use of the well established expression.

Let me help. A white knight is a rather grandiose emblem (deliberately). I am not claiming any spear of valour or leading a charge, I am simply giving back a little to a couple of the nastier members here, hence the natural justice.
The two are not incompatible, and they are not the same

Let me help you, there is no convention on any actual need to 'actually' have a horse or sharpened stick to be labelled as a 'white knight', again you seem to fail at grasping the use of metaphor.

It seems you are intent on dragging this down to semantic hair-splitting (where you are also mistaken) instead of going with the spirit of the thing. And in a sad kind of way, you are doing Hayward's work for him (if you are not him)

indeed I am not him, nor do I act on his behalf, quite frankly he/she/whatever is irrelevant, simply I made a response to an astounding act of hypocrisy in my own 'white knight' style, any further discussion could just as easily be circumvented by your own absence from them.

Your tone of sprightly success is a bit premature.
I'll boil it down for you. This place suffers because of the tone of those such as Hayward, Carguy, Ace of Aces et al.
And yes, you are trying to be clever by following this tack and trying to pick holes, rather than answer the main charge...which is the pure (veiled) spite of many of those posters named above. Fundamentally they get away with it because this forum is run in aid of the game, and they pretend to be doing a service by ridding it of pesky critics.
The end result is the exact opposite. They drag it down, confuse genuine critcism, and give a lop-sided view of the real state of play - which is still fairly atrocious.
That is a shame.

and this is supposed to make me believe you aren't self righteous?
