Everyone has at least some bias. What it all comes down to is who can be objective despite their bias.
I will not list the names of who I believe are truly objective to me. I will not because I am afraid of missing the names of some top posters who may not be at the top of my head.
The ones I respect, I PM them, give them gifts and Karma them whenever it allows me.
I have a few posters I like here that themselves often show bias. In and of itself being opinionated and having a particular view you espouse isn't the issue. I'm fine if you hate Floyd, even though I like him- for example, as long as you're intelligent about it and can take part in worthwhile discussion with your viewpoint.
I'm seasonal- consider me a breeze, I come and go on these forums but there are several posters I love discussing with, and a few have been mentioned here. Really, for me, it has less to do with what you're posting and more to do with how you post it. I've plain disagreed with people I couldn't be happier to discuss things with; and to me, that's fine.
No great poster can stay truly objective on every issue forever. Eventually we all have to let a little passion seep into an argument; it's just whether or not we can keep our brain on while we admit to our bias- that's what counts!
