We've all done it. You've just gotten home, logged on to FR, and are scrolling down the "Latest Posts" page, deciding which thread will get your attention this evening, when THAT SCREENNAME jumps out at you in a "to" or "from" position. You are powerless to resist; if THAT GUY's there, it's gonna be a good thread...
All of us have our own "favorites" among the many colorful souls who congregate at this fine website. They could be someone you disagree totally with, agree completely with, or somewhere in between. They might be a fount of useful information, links, and facts. Our favorite might be devastating at the art of debate; demolishing opponents in truly unique style, or he might be just plain nuttier than squirrel dung, but fun nonetheless.
Perhaps your favorite FReeper has a way with words; an excellent writer. Maybe they are someone highly experienced in a particular field, with knowledge that many do not posess. Maybe they're dumber than a bag of hammers.
Point is, no matter what the reason, our "favorite FReepers"' handle attached to a thread makes it all the more interesting to us; it guarantees a wild ride or sublime pleasure in the reading and learning. It may also guarantee an increase in blood pressure and indigestion, but one thing's for sure...that thread HE's on is gonna get a hit or two, and it won't be boring.
I've got more than a few of my own, and I'm sure all of you do as well. WHO'S YOURS?????????????????
hrmn... aside from my dedicated crew of affable detrimentals, there are the following stand-outs:
CHARLITE: somehow always finds the best articles on a rather wide range of topics. Has a long memory and IMHO excellent analytical abilities. Charlite should work for the national security apparatus.
MadIvan: ditto, plus bitterly sarcastic wit.
lazamataz: pure insanity, cubed. I must always swallow my coffee before reading any of Laz's posts... keyboards and monitors just cost too darn much.
paul atreides: no one I have seen surpasses his ability to lance a pustulent boil of self-absorbed asshattery with such pithy brevity.
mhking: the keeper of the "Just Damn!" pinglist, always a good friend and counselor on thorny topics.
rdb3: seems to have X-Ray vision (cuts through BS like you cannot imagine), has depths I have as yet only glimpsed.
right whale, modernman, doctor stochastic, radioastronomer, patrick henry: dyed_in_the_wool: Highly knowledgeable in diverse fields, keen of mind and sharp of wit... ever ready, able, and willing to slap me silly when I err in facts or analysis - these folks are giving me a continuing education in logic, statistics, cladistics, physics, semantics, and the art of calm perseverance in the face of obdurately ignorant hostility.
travis mcgee, eaker, archy, squantos, 45auto: the Kings of Gun Porn, champions of the right to keep and bear arms, and damned good people.
*this list is FAR from comprehensive*
Thanks, AAC! By the way, we're getting very close to winning this latest battle in the war, if you know what I mean!
Rightly Biased
