Depends on the subject,...[/USER].

You just confirming what I alluded to?

 

[EGarrett]

@EGarrett needs an award for absolutely annihilating the lefts supposed smart guys.

At one point they tried replying without quoting me so I wouldn't get a notification.

Best Screen Name: @Giblert

Grab a handful...

...of popcorn!
@LouisBolanos

 

[Bald1]

Smart? Absolutely. Entertaining? Not for me. Highly dissimilar interests, near as I can tell.

He's the human equivalent of an accounting ledger.

 

[AgedFlatus]

Moar arse!

Brutal.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Well you are a lib, so it makes sense that you support inessential moderating.

LOL!. You're such a hack. I don't even know what you're talking about actually.

And I know youre trolling and actually agree with me.

About Mick not being a good mod? No. Trust me, we've had our run-ins, and my opinion on his posting is separate (though he's not a total idiot like second sight, little something, EG, glennrod, etc.). There have been times when I triggered the fuck out of him, but he never abused the blue letters, and he's always been fair to everyone else I've seen.

The fact that you continually insult other posters, randomly and unprovoked, is such poor form on a forum. It's hilarious how you then explain people's dislike for you by suggesting you're some enigmatic figure and not just that you're a dick.

Don't take it so personally. I was actually complimenting Mick, and it wasn't about you.

I bet you think very highly of your own intelligence.

I bet you think very highly of your own intelligence.

Certainly in relation to the dregs of the WR.

• Best All Around Poster: Have to give this to JVS and Pan (as with past years). Arguments between them are the best the WR has to offer but lately Pan has been incredibly sharp and I haven't seen many arguments between these two.
• Worst All Around Poster: It was close between EvilWasLittle and the Struggle but I give it to the former, who has overtaken TCK for me. At least TCK will make you laugh once and a while. Evil is as much an asshole as he is dumb.
• Best Shit Poster: Ripskater. The dude has really grown on me and seems like a nice dude.
• Best Threads: JDragon. He's a good poster all around but makes very good threads regularly.
• Worst Threads: Hansgruber, hands down. The dude lost his mind during this election and flooded the forum with terrible threads, many of which were based on fake news.
• Best Unassuming Moderate: I'm not sure if he truly fits the moderate tag but from what I've read Ghandi is the best in this area.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

How about the mods tally up the "likes" received from posts in here? Get a grand total and also likes per post. That might be a little more telling than random people throwing out names.

 

[dontsnitch]

Smartest kid with Down Syndrome, numbnuts.

 

[Jack V Savage]

So taking a more serious crack:

Best Poster: The same people I vote for every year, really (Gandhi, Octavian, Pan, Possum, Denter, kpt, Docht--lots that I am deliberately not mentioning so the list won't seem comprehensive and the accidental omissions won't be as glaring), are on top. If I had to pick one for this year specifically, I'll go with @Fawlty, who I have twice voted for best new poster, but never before voted for for best overall barely edging out @Lead.

Worst: Too numerous to mention. Special shoutout to @sodapopinski for making many threads completely unreadable until I started ignoring him.

Most Improved: As mentioned, Zank. Everyone likes him, but I didn't as much before this year. Had lots of really good exchanges, though. @Rod1 has been around too long for new poster, but he stepped it up this year. About one-quarter craziness and three-quarters solid stuff but always interesting. IDL is still terrible, but he's not as bad this year (or maybe just the influx of terrible posters the election brought it makes him look better by comparison).

Best New Poster: @TheGreatA. Kind of a dick, I disagree with him a lot, and some of his views are pretty abhorrent to me, but really interesting poster, and likes to get in there and mix it up. Like @Denter in a way, and that's a big compliment. @Happiness is one of my old favorites from the HWs, and it was good to see him get more active in the WR. Ditto for @Peteyandjia, though he's a shitty WR poster.

Favorite Sparring Partner: @Greoric. Not really much to say. I disagree with him about almost everything, but our interests seem to line up pretty well, and he can go awhile before getting uncivil. Ehtheist is up there, too. He's a thinker and really pugnacious, but in a good way. Kind of oily, though.

Best Shit Poster: Going by Limbo's definition, it has to be @ripskater. Good guy, and funny whether intentionally or not. @Devout Pessimist deserves mention here, too. Despite the name of the award, this is a compliment to both.

Best Thread: I have a really weak recollection of thread titles and stuff. I liked a couple going on at
the same time when Zank and I were discussing Soros.

Best Election Coverage: @Lead, hands down. No other candidates. Hans wins worst, as he started about half the threads in the group based on whatever fake news or stupid tweet was popular that hour in the fever swamps.

The racist category has too many interchangeable candidates to mention.

Oh, and it really doesn't seem to make sense to divide a best poster by "side" anymore, as there seems to be more conversion. There are shit posters and good posters, and that's the only "side" that really matters, IMO.

@ehtheist identifies as a woman, as you well know. Are you so much of a bigot that you can't respect people's pronouns, or is this just you being your regular self- a dick?

Ankle-biter of the year ^^^ imo.

Remember the distinction between Dolezal and Jenner? Dolezal wasn't claiming (as many right-wingers were asserting) that she "identified" as black. She was claiming that she biologically was black. It was a lie rather than an attempt to resolve an identity issue. Ehtheist has admitted to posing as a black woman on FB because he thinks it would give him more latitude to make anti-black-woman points. He does something similar here, without the black part.

You act like a dick, I call you out, and you call me names. Can you do me a favour and demean some more random posters like you always do, cause that's a classy act.

You're the most dishonest, uncharitable, condescending prick on this forum, and in the WR, that's saying something. I should tell you rumor has it you have autism, so I'm not even sure half of this is registering, so to spell it out for you, you act like a dick, and people dislike that.

Feel better now?

 

[dontsnitch]

Feel better now?

The guy who constantly insults other posters asks me if I feel better after calling him out for insulting other posters. Autism confirmed. Seek help.
