Someone who will say anything to avoid rocking the
boat. They will go against their own morals and standards to make statements to please others. They shouldn't be trusted and confiding in them isn't a good idea. They are liked by many due to the fact they

It's not a matter of them not being
able to make up their
mind, fence riders say what's needed/wanted to be
heard.
