Hmmm...with so many wise and witty critics to choose from, I wasn't sure how to narrow it down.

But after much thought and judicious use of "CTRL+F", I can unequivocally say that CaliforniaKid and Seven are totally my favorites. :wink:

Angriest critic - Hmmm....GoodK?

Most convoluted conspiracy theory award - Mister Scratch. He's the Bob Mcue of conspiracy theorists.

Lifetime achievement in MDB loyalty - Dr. Shades

Most vulgar critic - Polygamy Porter (that was some bitter beer!)

Most intelligent critic - Too many to mention. Obviously, I really appreciate the posts by the "bona fide" critics like Dan Vogel and Brent Metcalf. But CaliforniaKid, Tarski, Seven, The Dude, Runtu, John Larsen, KA, Beastie, and many others are pretty sharp guys and gals.

Critic whose posts you enjoy reading - Too many to mention.

Posts like these are fun but are really just like a click in high school or a current popularity contest. Here is a partial list of posters not mentioned in this thread but they having a fairly significant post count to this board, basically about 300 posts or greater or at least they have stood out in my memory in some positive fashion.

They are the nominees for the most invisible, the most ignored, the most often never mentioned in a thread like this, the most often to draw a short straw, the most likely to be picked last for the team, perhaps the most likely to not be so pretty or as popular as the click posters.

If we had more categories, I am sure more of these posters would or could be recognized. Many should make the present list. They are also the ones that make this board a success.

This is a thread about critics, Pokey. I'm not sure some of your list would like being lumped with us.

Pok,

I totally agree with what you said about high school. I loved the idea that you used here:

Who do I personally relate to the most? Ludwigm


I think this should be a new topic thread. Love the concept!

I'm gonna steal your idea!
:mrgreen:

p.s. I read most all of your posts.

Yeah Pok, most of the nominations are not exactly flattering.

I'm thinking it would be better to NOT be a nominee (with an exception or two).

I shall voice my own opinion about these threads. What it looks like to me, is a way to non-love your perceived enemies. :-)

I made a new thread about posters we relate to. Please join if you're interested!

Harmony I agree, I was just having some fun and I do think I mixed the two similar threads and well confused them. So I nominate myself as "the most confused", I'm about as confused as a baby in a topless bar.

PS I want to add Jaybear to the list.
