Yes, Arvhic too! I have the impression that when he posts he really speaks her mind and beliefs unafraid of anything. He always comes back for more(and he has Mouse and Nighthawk checking on his every move!) The guy is brave.
Thanks for the nomination Nighthawk! *smile*

Well, I learned a lesson today. Never post first when LDS always says it better than I ever could.

Of course he does! He is just a human. He just does not display it here but I know that certain messages coming from certain poster makes his pressure go pretty high. *wink* |

though Mouse, you do tend to gets riled from time to time, but that, in my opinion, takes away inhibitions and is one reason that you always speak your mind. |

I think this is a tough call. I have to give Nighthawk a lot of credit, he certainly speaks his mind and he backs this up with a lot of his own research and passion. I don't always agree with his point of view, but I certainly respect it when it comes from him, hence the constant sparring.
I also believe Konq is extremely well researched and balanced in his argument. He never gets heated but always speaks his mind. I think those two have to take the shared trophy for speaking their mind in a constructive way on the forums that I frequent, ie mostly news.
LDS, JB and Farseer are just cool customers who know the art of getting their message across in a polite, effective way. Farseer has some interesting angles on discussions which I often enjoy reading.
JB always speaks his mind, but in such a way it encourages the reader to add to the debate. He is brilliant at facilitating and getting his POV across without offending.
LDS is a fiery Latino, and while she often has a cool head sometimes she really gets stuck in. She has said some great comments that I often agree with or respect. I can also relate to the way she constructs her arguments because we have a similar professional background.
Mousetrails has to get the award for speaking his mind and not caring about anything anyone says. I think on occasion he gets a bit too involved emotionally, but I respect his passion.
I also have to pay Bwren and Diane credit for their posts as well. There are a lot of contenders, but purely on the question, Nighthawk and Konq in a tie.
In my always opinionated view, I have to agree with what's already been said: I think the top three are Nighthawk, Konquererz, and Arvhic (not in any particular order). Always well-researched, well-said replies or topic starters from these three, even though I don't always agree with their position on things.
Definitely keeping things hopping here!
Respectfully submitted.
Rather off topic, but... Arvhic, that was a well-done, diplomatic, and highly complimentary post -- I don't think you left out even one of the top posters here! |
