Well I am pleased to be named by several posters as deserving an ad hoc award or two
I'm pretty useless at deciding between people at these things so I rarely participate. But I'm going to give it a go anyway:
Best overall poster
EvC of course has a wealth of options here. I'm settling on
crashfrog, which I'm sure will raise some eyebrows. The simple reason is, that right or wrong, crashfrog has probably done more to shake my preconceptions and faulty thinking than any other member. His consistency in this regard is to be commended.
Best debater
He's not around these days but I always enjoyed reading
arachnophilia's debates. Nowadays I often find myself following
PaulK's posts as I find his exchanges interesting and informative even on the occasion that I disagree with him.
Most intelligent
I think
Dr Adequate has demonstrated an uncanny ability to perceive flaws in arguments while also discovering creative ways of pointing out those flaws. So he'll probably win this award.
Most potential
Kairyu.
Most sarcastic
That's a great category.
Best thread starter
Whenever
RAZD proposes a new thread, the whole membership should pay attention.
Most laid back
I have admit, I'm struggling with this one.
frako keeps springing to mind though.
Funniest
Dr Adequate has probably elicited the most laughs from me.
