Correction:

The title of the thread sucks. You should obviously read 'Let's give' I suppose.

Now to my personal comments.

I think the following people have been underestimated:

Tripledoc: very, ahem, special. But despite his strange views, even in the eyes of leftists, he takes the time to bring facts to the table, and he's much more cultured than people seem to think.

Whaleboy: exceedingly annoying moral relativism, but we must grant him that he usually defends it with some competence.

Agathon: if he can bring a debate to a conceptual level, he will win it, almost certainly.

Nope. Apart from the obvious joke nominations, people seem to have picked pretty well.

The majority of my posts are sarcastic or scatological and too many of them are trolls - that rules me out as a serious candidate.

Secondly, mindseye's vote should go to me, since Berz clearly said that if I did not have a vote, I should get one.

I can't believe Ned got more noms than me. That's just disheartening. Losing out to the Nediverse.





So, are those outside the Nediverse, Ned-averse?

Spiffor, without a doubt. MtG may be more knowledgeable on many things, but this is about the best debator, not to person who knows the most. Spiffor gets his point across clearly and consisely, is respectful and listens to others, can logically argue points that are against popular belief, and never seems to be in denial about what he's saying or his ability.

I especially remember him arguing about the French decision to bad religious symbols in schools that managed to argue a point that most here disagreed with, and to get his message across well.
