With the attention that the "most loony" thread has gotten, this one might be a bit of fun as well. Here we go.

The Best Posters in the WARRP Forum:

1. Footstepsfrom27 - the dude has the internet debate thing down. He is well educated and can develop complex opinions within arguments well in the internet setting. Clear, concise, and detailed. Not only does he develop his arguments well, but they come from his own well-reasoned opinions. I have yet to see someone really show him some competition in this forum.

2. W*GS - His well-educated and non-mainstream ideas are a lightning rod for the partisans of this forum. His opponents often resort to slander tactics against him so that they dont have to do research.

3. claviculasolomonis - His opinions are certainly unique and he brings an interesting perspective to most discussions. He also has helped to keep this place palatable at times when things have become intolerable here.

4. Falconer - This fellow displays the type of character that we all should admire while conversing with others in this environment. He has great takes and brings a balanced, honest, patient, and kind presentation with his opinions. He's an example for all of us, and his opinions are great.

5. Rohirrim - Another guy who keeps up with the times, and has relatively unique opinions. Has an appretiation of history, and a nice flavor of sarcasm. All in all, he's a poster that brings something to the discussion most of the time he's involved.

6. ClevelandBronco - He rarely gets involved in this forum with lengthy opinions, but you can certainly see wisdom in his contributions when he gives them. Underappreciated here.

7. defenseman - he isnt loud, doesnt annoy and has some of the best takes in the forum. Especially on war issues. He walks soft but carries the proverbial large stick.

8. BroncoBuff - Interesting and fun guy to have a conversation with.

9. Enjolras - always brings good ideas and original discussion to the table.

10. TheDave - Witty, well-educated, and contributes well to science discussion.

why didn't you make a poll?

Rohirrim

What about Baja, Dave, Tailgate, Slug, LABF, Atlas, etc. etc. etc.?

You didn't include enough people. I know you don't like LABF, but he should be included in the poll if for no other reason than he's a lightening rod for discussion--love'em or hate'em. Where's enjolras? He's one of the better posters in terms of quality. Atlas? The Dave? Baja? Spider? Slug? You should have called this poll "Who's the Best Poster Among the Posters I Like (With a Couple of Liberals Thrown in to Feign Fairness)".

I wanted a top 10, and waited to round it out...for other opinions. I forgot about enjolras, who is also good, and theDave, who also deserves a poll slot.

I think it should be a 3- point poll


War
Religion
Politics

I know my votes in each category would be different!

It is an opinion poll. Vote if you want or just continue to whine about it like you usually do.

If a mod comes along, could you please edit the poll to include:

9. Enjolras

and

10. TheDave

It is an opinion poll.

Then it ought to include heavy contributors like Slug and LABF (even if you don't like them) so the poll can truly gage the opinions of everyone.

Vote if you want or just continue to whine about it like you usually do.

Nah, I'll just keep pointing out your disingenuousness.

Quality, not quantity.

Some would likely argue there's a lot of quality in some of their posts you miss. At any rate, if it's an opinion poll, all key contributors ought to be included in order to get an accurate assessment of how everyone feels.

I voted for wags, he's one of the few who actually represents ideas and intellectual rigor. so many ppl on this forum are transparently partisan that the debate is hopelessly degraded in almost no time.

I also like reading dave's posts - but he wasn't on da list.


oh and noovay, everyone is partisasn. At least with me - i hate everybody. I'm libertarian by comprimise, but an anarchist at heart.

Hell, put yavoon in the poll, too. My guess is he won't get a single vote since he gets along with practically no poster (including on the football forum), arguing often times simply for the sake of being contrarian, but fair is fair. He makes solid points here and there.

:yep:

I'm surprised he didn't include himself.

BTW, W*GS?

LMAO! Hilarious!

Now i made the list and not the poll.... Aw screw it... I'd vote for Rohirrim anyways

alkemical
11-03-2006, 02:11 PM
oh and for the record.

I think i'm one of the WORST posters on this forum. if you do vote for me, expect to be on some "Do not..." list.....


Footsteps is good at debate, and makes good arguments. I can't "hang" with him in that aspect other than when i know he's wrong, i know he's wrong.

Wags - i've gotten lots of good info and convo from wags. But wags and are I are in some ways ideological opposed. Where he's for status quo and as Wags would say "with my youthful vigor of piss and impatience" i'd rather knock it all down, instead of just patching the walls. (Why clean the house when you can buy a new one kinda thing... ;) )

Falconer - i have nothing against falconer other than some key disagreements. But other than that - at least he gives honest effort.

Clavicula solomonis - Is a crazy crazy MF'er. Isn't afraid to tell you to STFU in one post, and give you a beer in the next. Most people don't understand him, because he really is insane.

ClevelandBronco - For anyone to be a bronco fan and live in cleveland - they have to be insane, and they must like having everyone tell them to go to hell.... ;)


Dman - I like Dman. I disagree with him alot. But i think if you took where i felt things should go, and where he thinks things should go (for gov't v. people) - i think we could find a happy medium for 90% of things.

BroncoBuff - knows seattle and i have no problem with him. I disagree with him a bit - but when do i agree with anyone 100%.



that's my synopsis

Hotrod

First I'd like to say screw you Mr. Thread starter

Second I went with Rohirrim

Third Screw you Mr. Thread starter

Here's a list of others that I considered for the top 10:

Hotrod, Spider, SmilingAssassin, Big Guy, Bendog.

If you guys want to vote for another, mention it in your post. We'll keep a count of those too.

baja
11-03-2006, 03:24 PM
Where is the mad yack option.

These things are dumb but I voted anyway I voted for Josh, great links and interesting views.

I like many others just as well though.

This list with out LABF is meaningless and self seving on the part of the mad yack

Ro & Dman are pretty much my faves with a sprinkle of LABF.

I thought Lone Bolt deserved a nomination too ... but he's too new to win. Hotrod isn't a daily or even weekly regular, though he is a good poster and very funny

Rohirrim and footsteps seem most informed and least argumentative.... which are my two main factors. baja is close - but sometimes i dont see him for awhile.

Cleveland and claviculasolominis 3 and 4 ...

falconer is good too .... and I like the way defenseman signs his posts
(but I always thought he was just mispelling "damn!" :~ohyah!:)

I cast a write-in ballot for myself. I don't post here often, but when I do, its unfailingly brilliant.

My second choice is Rohirrim because he combines knowledge with common sense better than anyone else.

;D

You have to understand that angrydramaqueen is absolutely certain in his own mind that virtually everything I post is "far left" propaganda designed to trick him into not believing in Jay-sus and God's Own Party. :D

In any event, my vote goes to Ro, who, IMO, is far and away the best-informed and most knowledgeable poster on this forum as well as the best debater.

I want to vote for steve.

Falconer
11-03-2006, 08:04 PM
My vote is for Footsteps27. I think I have never read a post by him that I didn't view as well thought out and stated. I really believe that posting on the net can often lead to misunderstandings that would not normally occur if the converstation was face to face. Footsteps seems to rarely have that problem. I might not always agree with what he says, but I can always at least see where he is coming from.

Yeah ... no §pider? Not much of a WARRP Room poll without him

Prollem is, everybody likes Spider and might vote for him for that reason instead of his takes.

D-Man is an educated and respectful poster. He knows what he's talking about, but doesn't feel the need to disrespect those who disagree with him.

Exactly!! I would have voted for the etc. triplets!! They are great.

First, we put Iraq on ebay... :wiggle:

I would first bid on South Korea, then Kuwait, maybe The Azores then Iraq but Labf would most likely win the bid and succeed where the Bush Admin couldn't and settle the whole thing with foam bats. Oh and they would have to wear mouth pieces and athletic supporters

Anyway my pick for Best poster is SPdirty and running a close second is actually LABF. He always makes me laugh
