without laf, sof wouldn't be successful, so you need to put laf above sof for that reason.

that's not spin, that's what laf's leaders told me a few months ago :p
you can't go out there calling others biased while not understanding that sof's rise to power is on the coattails of Laf. that doesn't take away from sof's skills, but laf's super-human efforts (or access to information, whatever) definitely gave SoF a big boost over the last 6 months to a year. hanlong outright told me he was propping sof up as a way to counterbalance sol/evo/md before sof's leaders got active again.
