I can start it off, but let's get some sort of feed back around here where everyone can compliment or constructively criticize anyone else... yes, I'm an open target having started this thread too...

Best debaters (logic and convincing, persuasive)
Top- I'll include some good ones overall that are all generally respectable but some I forget: telerion, kazet nagorian, sh76. All seem logical and not too abrasive.


Worst debater (doesn't seem to understand or can only resort to name-calling, or just plain can't make a decent argument)
Top- Seitse and FMF have got to step up their logical games, nothing personal, my true opinion, they need to study the whole If A = B and B=C then... types of basics. Could do a whole lot less resorting to personal attacks and name calling too! Just calls for some counters sometimes.


Funniest debater
Top -zeeblebot cracks me up, so does the recent joe beyser post, that's comedy.
Least - not sure


Most annoying/abnoxious debater:
Top -SEITSE! Just has to put on an unconvincing display of superiority... just invites someone to kick the soapbox he's standing on.
Least - not sure


Most respected opponent:
Top - not sure recently

Least respected opponent:
Top -Sam the Sham, what a shame to see so much racism oozing from his posts...

I see you're angry, dude, and hence you're starting the stalking thing, which is out of the TOS of this site.

Take it like a man, grow a pair, damn it. I made you look like an idiot several times, same as Palynka and FMF did with you on other issues.

So? Live with it. This is just an internet site. Grow up.

(Shakes head in disappointment at Seitse again)

Why would you be worth the time and trouble to do more than to occasionally include you in a debate?

What do you mean in this post making a false interpretation and suggesting your false attack is in the terms of service, then being hypocritical enough to tell someone ELSE to take it like a man... did you every try practicing what you preach?

You didn't make anyone look bad, in fact, it's easy to look good by comparison with you, but I have higher standards. On the other hand, you and I can agree that you and FMF have a lot in common... and Palynka I would agree does not quite have the nack for economics that he would like to claim, but I can't say that he is down at your level. Even FMF manages to keep some respectability, especially by comparison with you. Nevertheless, I wish you both the best of luck in your new found friendship/relationship.

You're making too much of an effort, dude. And you're really making a fool out of yourself.

Long posts, angry posts, targetting, etc. Seriously, grow a pair.

I don't think the debates forum is the right place for you, son.

Okay; what the heck? Let's do this.

Best debater (logic and convincing, persuasive)
Top-
Being 100% honest (very difficult) No1Maurauder, Scriabin and FMF come off to me and the three most penetrating debaters. All 3 have some problems (No1 is sometimes too hot-headed, Scriabin is sometimes too emotional and FMF doesn't understand the importance of being nice or showing respect to fellow posters), but all 3 present well thought out, researched and penetrating arguments (most of the time).*

Worst debater: I don't really want to answer that one

Funniest debater: Shavixmir (assuming his self-loathing bit is an act)

Most annoying/abnoxious debater: No comment

Most respected opponent:
Top - KazetNagorra (easy to discuss things with in a civil manner); No1Marauder (not always so easy to discuss things with in a civil manner, but fun to debate nonetheless)

Least respected opponent: If I didn't respect someone, I wouldn't grant him the honor of calling him an opponent.

New categories:

Gutsiest posters:

Generalissimo, Whodey and eljefejesus: All three are basically used as punching bags on these boards and keep coming back for more. All three stick to their guns no matter how many insults are hurled at them. Yeah; they dish it out too sometimes, but I'd say their take it/give it ratio is something like 3:1.

Favorite poster on all of RHP: Greenpawn34. Not even close. 🙂

Apologies to all who got left out.


* Disclaimer: The fact that I'm a lawyer probably has something to do with this ranking.

I hereby nominate KMAX as the best, worst, most respected and least respected, and funniest debator.

Edit: Please don't think his previous post had anything to do with this nomination.

Gee thanks.....I think.

Anyway, if I didn't like the abuse so much I guess I woundn't keep coming back. 😛

PS: In retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have participated in this. There are so many great posters on these boards that I left out. I don't want to start listing them now because then, invariably, I'm going to leave more people out. Frankly, this is one of the most intelligent message boards I've seen in the wild wild World of the net (that's not saying a whole lot, but still) and I enjoy frequenting these boards.

Suffice it to say, with a few notable exceptions (and, by and large, you know who you are), I would list most of the posters here on a list of "top posters."

why thnx. obviously the mood you're in at the time of posting, largely influences the quality, and whether i have a strong opinion either way on the topic at hand.

I must admit I take my hat off to those debaters ( we know who you are ) who tend to maintain a consistently serious online persona. I don't know how they manage to keep a straight face and continue to do it. I know I certainly can't maintain that sort of consistent disciplined worldview. It would lead to me looking grumpy and po-faced anyway, and my vast legion of female admirers deserve better than that. 😛
