RAZD's neutral refreshing words
RAZD the opening message.
#1 Sorry 'moose, I had it all neat and orderly but internet explorer crashed and I can't be bothered typing it out again. (Feel free to correct). As for RAZD, I could nominate most of his posts as examples of pure, unbiased, neutral and knowledgeable logical evaluations. In this post, he highlights argumentum ad ignorantiam and the neutrality of his own position. Usually, though folk here are knowledgeable in the area of science, unlike RAZD they care more for impolite ad hominem attacks rather than putting forth logic or caring for it. Not everyone is guilty of this, but RAZD certainly holds a position of honest logic, that doesn't favour any ideology, it seems. Edited by mike the wiz, : No reason given.

Thanks Mike, nice to see you around again.
... but RAZD certainly holds a position of honest logic, that doesn't favour any ideology, it seems. ... I try Mike, I try. Some people say I 'm very trying ... Somedays it seems like a never ending uphill battle, so thanks for the encouragement. Enjoy Edited by RAZD, : ...

Re: Dr A's Poem
I second it, the poem was very well written. But, since this is post of the month, I will accept this as a nomination for myself and my awesome post. The context of my post being the worthy winner, but I still get kudos for pulling the poem from the hidden off-topic graveyard.  - Oni Edited by onifre, : No reason given.

jaywill at work
quote:
Christ within seeks to overcome human anxiety. Human anxiety is the drive shaft of the world.
jaywill in the Living According to Christ: Is it Reasonable? thread weaves the pithy into the rich tapestry of his knowledge of the Lord. Whether your a Christian desiring to look into the deeper things of God. Or a seeker suspecting there might be more to Christ than can be masked by shallow objection. Or whether your trying to write off Christ and desire (at your peril) the challenge of making your objections stick ... jaywill must be the EvC- destination of choice. It's in the nature of truth to ring true and no one here rings it truer.

Opt Out
I don't POTM posts very often, but I guess I liked Bolder-dash's Opt Out post in American Budget Cuts. It was witty and clever, and gosh-dernit, a proposal that a lot of Americans are just likely to be dumb enough to prefer! Jon

Re: Opt Out
I second this. It is hard to believe that a person that is so irrational on other subjects can submit a post that so clearly distills the situation.

RAZD at "American Budget Cuts"
Author: RAZD Forum: Coffee House Thread: American Budget Cuts Message #: 109 The difference between what one is paid and what one earns. Bonus kudos for a) No graphics, and b) The entire message fits on the screen without scrolling. Moose

I'll second that
