Percy - Icon of Patient Explanation
Name: Percy Forum: Is it Science? Thread: The Lack of Empirical Evidence For Evolution Post: 130 I realized recently that Percy hardly ever gets a POTM. Which is weird, to me, since I never fail to marvel at his patience, clear writing, etc. Almost every post of his I've ever read has left me saying, "damn, I wish I'd said that." So, let this nomination stand as representative of an extremely long series of outstanding posts - any one of which (or all, for that matter) would garner any other member a POTM. Keep it up, Percy.

Name: contracycle Forum: Coffee House Thread: Society without property? Post #: 83 Actually, the post number above is merely a formality. I am very, very impressed with all of contracycle's posts in that thread. He gives a very concise, well thought out description of communism, describes his take on it very nicely, and, in my opion, answers peoples' objections and counter-point very well. Almost every post has something where I said to myself, "Man, I wish I said that." There are also several points where I disagree with either slightly or completely. Yet, in each case contracycle makes his points so well that I am forced to think about them deeply.

I second Chiroptera's nomination. Contracycle presented and defended his point of view in a series of reasonable and sensible responses. We all benefit from these imaginative and thoughtful posts, whether we agree with Contracycle or not. mick

AdminAsgara on our current "crankyness" problem
Name: AdminAsgara Forum: Suggestions and Questions Thread: Thread Reopen Requests Post #: 333, 334 AdminAsgara, in 334 writes: If you are making your case well no one will believe any lies / misrepresentations about what was said. Also, someone keeping their cool comes off as an adult and their argument will be given more credence (witness Sylas). We have serious problems, when messages like the cited need to be posted by an admin. Don't respond to this message (unless you wish to have the wrath of Adminnemooseus come down on you). Just take AdminAsgara's words to heart and behave yourselves. Adminnemooseus

mick at "Why Darwinism is wrong"
Name: mick Forum: Biological Evolution Thread: Why Darwinism is wrong Post: 10 More often than not, when mick posts I have to say "I wish I had said that!". His calm rebuttals and clear grasp of the facts make him a great asset to the debate and a danger to any strawman wielding creo's who try to step into the Biological Evolution forum. {Made the "10" a clickable link. Also added subtitle. - Adminnemooseus} This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 04-27-2005 04:22 AM

mick at "is the US sliding into Fascism? Evidence for and against"
Name: mick Forum: Coffee House Thread: is the US sliding into Fascism? Evidence for and against Post #: 36 A fairly detailed comparison of the political philosophies of Mussolini and George W. Bush. I think this message could be the focus point for the entire topic. Moose

Re: mick at "Why Darwinism is wrong"
This is a thankyou to Mammuthus and Moose, for nominating various posts for POTM, and for their kind comments. It really made my day - I might even copy your posts to my supervisor. If I win, do I get a T-shirt or something? I try to write lots of stupid ill-considered posts but sometimes I unfortunately find myself saying something sensible. Cheers and thanks! mick This message has been edited by mick, 04-28-2005 08:43 PM
