...awhile back, I collected a set of data from the DU Religion Group (RG) for two individuals of, shall we say for convenience, divergent points of view relative to the group's topical focus.

Let's call them Poster A and Poster B.

So between March 2017 and June 11, 2018, these two individuals created a total of 435 original posts (OPs).
Which resulted in net values of 801,249 views, 13,289 replies and 1,137 Recommendations (RECs), all as of Jun 11, 2018.

Poster A had: 372 OPs which generated 732,196 views, 12,575 replies and 744 RECs.

Poster B had: 63 OPs which generated 69,053 views, 714 replies and 393 RECs.

Question, which one would you say was more "popular" in RG for that time frame?

You may reply in essay form.

Almost forgot to add, activity of discussion doesn't necessary equate to popularity, or dare I say, agreement let alone acceptance of a given topic:

(sorted by total number of replies in the last 2,400 OPs in the DU RG)

Just sayin'
