Who is the #1 Political poster here at SpursTalk?

[grindmouse]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>NbaDan<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


:toast

[T Park.]

boutons_

[Wild Cobra]

Well, in my opinion, that title should go to someone who posts meaningful context. Dan mostly posts quoted articles with little content to add of his own. Boutons... please don't make me laugh so hard. It hurts.

Definately need other candidates.

[ChumpDumper]

Whatever his shortcomings, Dan keeps the place going.

[=RTM=]

ChumpDumper

[George Gervin's Afro]

crazy xray

[johnsmith]

I think it's mouse. His made up subjects and his lack of reasoning, common sense, and logic fit well within the realm of politics.

[boutons_]

Wild Cobra, go fuck your self-congratulating, self-deceiving, totally prejudiced self.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

nbadan owns everyone in here, but The Resurrected One gave him a run for his money a few years ago.

[mookie2001]

yeah nbadan regulates, especially on chumpdumper when it comes to academics and science

[johnsmith]

nbadan hasn't had an original thought since I started posting here over a year ago.


Just because you agree with his links doesn't make him a good poster.

[Nbadan]

I don't know who the top poster in this forum is, but my favorite posters are those that post what they're really feeling and not just hannitism or limbaughism....I suppose WC attempts to do that more than Yoni on the right, and on the left there are just so many quality posters I wouldn't want to leave anyone out...

...thanks to everyone who makes this forum worthwhile..


:hat

[Holt's Cat]

FromWayDowntown.

[MannyIsGod]

The next time NBADan regulates on anyone will be the first time.

The above post is right. FWDT is by far the best poster here.

[mookie2001]

ok manny you and ndadan go toe to toe in science of something battleblog

Im no oddsmaker but you would be the underdog







top 5 along with cbf, boutons, braeden0613 and brad loahous

phehenomananual, he has 5 doctorates in science, yet doesnt believe in evolution

or hehememegoaba as he once was known

[MannyIsGod]

:lol These are my 2 favorite threads where Dan shows off his scientific prowess. What really gets me are his mythical models and how he says earthquakes come from global warming. Classic.

You're trying to tell me this guy is better than FWDT? Right.

[ChumpDumper]

I will agree with FWDT from a sheer quality standpoint. He has a real job, so he doesn't post as often as I'd like to see.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ChumpDumper deserves recognition for CD'ing every possible poster from every possible angle

[spurster]

Extra Stout

[samikeyp]

Al Gore.

[johnsmith]

I will agree with FWDT from a sheer quality standpoint. He has a real job, so he doesn't post as often as I'd like to see.


Just based on the two other folks that I actually have met from here, most people have a "real job"................just that "real job's" demand "real goofing off"........which is all this site is good for.........unless you're boutons, then it's all for real.

[Nbadan]

So opinions matter more if the person posting has a real job - check...so Warren Buffet's opinion matters more than FWDT? ummm...under that logic, Bill O'Reilly's opinions must matter more than, well, anyone else's here.....Hitler had a real job...Jeffery Dahmer had kinda a real job....even the Unibomber, Ted Kasinski, had a real job....Judith Miller...that gay reporter who got busted sneaking into the WH...what was his name? Jeff somethingorother.....the Oklahoma City bombers had real jobs.....

Well, if I had to go with those choices only, it's a no-brainer. I vote for Brad. I disagree with him as often as I agree with him, but he at least offers intelligent discourse, and has a high enough post per day average. I really haven’t put much thought into the question. My personal bias tells me to vote for Xray or Yoni because we are more politically aligned than most other here.

If I were to study the issue, to make my vote, I would use the following criteria, and score them separately, and add the results:

1) Ability to back up claims with good source material, not just an opinion piece.
2) Intelligent discourse.
3) Daily posting average.
4) The ability to admit when wrong, and change mind.

There are really so few who fit in all the above categories. That was just a quick list, I probably would include more criteria if I thought about it.

[Wild Cobra]

Wild Cobra, go fuck your self-congratulating, self-deceiving, totally prejudiced self.
See... Perfect example. This is not intelligent discourse.

[BradLohaus]

Whatever his shortcomings, Dan keeps the place going.

Dan is the straw that stirs the drink. I've got to give him my vote, even though I can't believe that I'm voting for someone who likes Al Gore :)

I've been beating the dollar crisis drum since I started posting here about a year ago, but Dan's probably been talking about it on this board for years, so here's to you on that one Dan :toast

But I honestly think that everyone who posts here with any regularity brings something to the table, from boutons on one end to Yonivore on the other, and everybody in between.


I disagree with him as often as I agree with him

I really think that if we were to sit down and drink some beers and talk about everything under the sun, we'd agree about alot more than we do when it comes to politics alone.

[2centsworth]

Dan is just a spammer. From the left, though I disagree with him almost 100% of the times, is RandomGuy. Others I give credit to are FWDT, Manny, Yoni, 101A, ExtraStout, Whottt. There are some other newer members that I like too like Wild Cobra.

[E20]

Left: Dan and Boutons
Right: SmackDaddy and Yoni

[clambake]

i nominate the left, because they've been right all along.

[Clandestino]

Did I win?

[George W Bush]

I don't listen to polls!

[Hillary]

I don't listen to polls!

Neither do I.

[Hillary]

I am.

[Why?]

Since this is the political forum.....why don't you all vote on it?

[JoeChalupa]

As always the answer to this question is a matter of opinion and nothing more. Yoni does his fair share of cut and paste like NBADan does and I like to read posts from all sides. Therefore I can't say who is #1 but I will say that NBADan, along with those who bitched about poliitcal posts in the club, created this forum and has never looked back....although it does look to the left and the right from time to time, deserves props for keeping it to continue.
Good job by all. No clear #1 for me. Scott has some damn good posts too.

[boutons_]

"political forum.....why don't you all vote on it?"

... not enough corps to buy the election.

[Al Gore]

Dan is just a spammer. From the left,

Really, what has he tried to sell you? Don't confuse passion and energy with spamming. All his topics have interesting facts that many websites would love to have. Do you know even know what Spam is?





though I disagree with him almost 100% of the times,

That explains the Bias! Besides why would you read, or even reply to a Spammer? You should report all spammers to the web master.




is RandomGuy. Others I give credit to are FWDT, Manny, Yoni, 101A, ExtraStout, Whottt. There are some other newer members that I like too like Wild Cobra.

Translation: My homeboys who I agree with (Not Necessarily the #1 Political poster here at SpursTalk) which the topic is originally about.

[johnsmith]

^^^The above post from Al Gore is retarded. Ok, the guy meant copy and paster not spammer, we get it.

Second, you quote "though I disagree with him almost 100% of the times" and then say "that explains the Bias" and dribble on more about spamming? WTF? Dude was giving props to Randomguy there and last time I checked RG is farely left.

Joe's right...when we started this forum even Kori likely thought it was a short-timer, and there were quite a few Club naysayers, (I'm not mentioning any names but.......(cough)one rhymes with danny(cough)), now almost, what? 3-4 years and about 150K posts later, (only about 10K of those actually mine :hat ) I think this forum has established itself as one of the most successful on the Spurstalk forum network ...

....now being humble folks, we don't usually ask for much here but a little band-width, but ya know, one of those flag colored banners and a red, white and blue background would fit this forum might fine about now....Slomo? Anyone?

[Cartman]

So Yonnvore and others don't copy and paste?


Second, you quote "though I disagree with him almost 100% of the times" and then say "that explains the Bias" and dribble on more about spamming? WTF?

Let me give you an example............how many times do you agree with mouse? Psssssst! It means your (Bias) also. The only difference is he is not as Gay as you and he actually talks politics, your just into insults and refried smack.





Dude was giving props to Randomguy there and last time I checked RG is farely left.

This is not a left or right issue it's about him looking at the screen names and not what the topic is about. certain posters here will agree with their hommies not even really looking at what the topic matter is. Kinda like you do when you see mouse. You really don't care how many people died in 9/11 or how they died all you know is you hate mouse so he must be wrong!






Face it Al Gore, much like your act, you aren't funny.............or smart.


Well you got Al on that one, after all Bush is Funny so one out of two isn't bad!

So you still have some doubts? Are you pretty sure your not Gay? When you ask your girlfriend (pretend you have one) if she is having your baby do you want to hear she is pretty sure its yours?

I would not venture to far by posting that the Spurstalk Political Forum is one of the most visited All-Political blogs on the web...for instance, here are the Alexa numbers on what the Dallas Morning News (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/112607dntexpolblogs.28fab07.html) considers one of the 'busiest political blogs in Texas', the Burnt Orange Report...

Now, I'm not sure how Alexa breaks up the numbers depending on the different forums on ST, but there should be no doubt that about 1.5 out of every 10 posts on ST is in the PF...and that doesn't count the lurkers....

Sounds about right.

Extra Stout gets the nod for most well-rounded poster. When he feels like going into detail on a given subject the best thing to do is sit back and enjoy the education he's just given. His digressions are complete to the extent that attempting to embellish them ends up taking away from them. (I think that's referred to subtraction by addition).


DR's one of the most neutral, he's likely to bash any party or any poster at any given time.

Chump, scott, fwd, spurminator, Lohous, peabody, wc, etc.
