How to define "unafraid" and "pioneering"?

This is a general interest linguistics and semantics
question. How would you define, beyond the mere
dictionary entry, someone who is unafraid and
pioneering?

Someone who truly possessed those traits would probably deny having them (they do sound trite and politically correct in any event).

I prefer 'fearless' to 'unafraid' and 'trailblazer' to 'pioneer.'

A fearless trailblazer; someone who boldly goes into the unknown, setting the path for others to follow. Someone who is not held back or inhibited by the mockery of others, who lack the courage of his conviction.

These are very good points, gang.

How can someone be unafraid and pioneering in the world
of online forums? Something tells me that RHP is in need of
someone with those characteristics to take us to the next
level as a community.

Stay away from me, you pioneering and unafraid pervert.

We all know you can copy paste and spam, but can you have
one single original thought? Didn't think so.
