I think
@Kirby is very right on the difference between Shaner and Connor. Most people don't understand a lot of the details and history with Shaner. They just see a bunch people they don't know that well shitposting in that thread or arguing with him. From the details I have learned about Shaner, the guy has enough history to make OPL look like a winner in life in comparison.
Meanwhile Connor to most of us who have no idea who he is just seems like a spastic who has a thread that lots of people we know are shitposting in or arguing with him about the same series of things. Connor is much more coherent and definitely much smarter than Shaner, but I really to be honest don't see the cow in him.
Both to me seem like they are only cows to the people who are familiar with their stories. To outsiders, both threads are nothing but shitposts, trollshielding, and pointless arguing.
I have seen enough of Shaner's behavior to say he is much more funny than Connor except when Connor gets angry. It is when Connor gets angry that he has his moments.
I am not going to condemn anyone's cow, and to each their own. Still it might help if people could consolidate the issues on both Cows so that outsiders or people with busy schedules can learn more about each of them.
