I'd like to add GePap as well. He tends to be meticulously fair in debates, which is why he flies into a rage at some other posters who don't.

It's like not handing an Oscar because more than one person could desserve it. Just nominate three persons, so that I can count them.

Spiffor certainly is up there, however he does lack a killer instinct. Something that is great at coming to a possibly better total solution or even a diplomatic solution, but not for wining the argument or even to drive his own point home.

alva, that's not necessarily a bad point. He, unlike many other, is able to concede defeat, and has what a great debater is all about, intellectual integrity.

MtG, for his role in "This 1859 law, recited from memory, proves me right"
Spiffor, for brilliantly portraying "I am a Communist but I am not a raving mad lunatic"
Sava, oddball throw-in.

Pick one of the above.
As far as notables that missed the list.
Gegap is too rude, JohnT is too average, and Imran lacks a certain pizazz.

That should improve his standing. People that sacrifice honesty to win don't contribute to the community.

Let's start a new thread with recommendations for our friend Mr Siddiqui. He can't go through life without pizazz. We who care about him, should help him remedy this defect and improve his pizazz rating.
I suggest he change his name to "Iron" Siddiqui. That's a name that oozes chutzpah.

Oh, and another nomination:

I was meaning more that MtG doesn't stick around in a debates unless they are with people who are willing to make valid points, or want to listen to listen to counterpoints.
Poly debates are notorius for bald assertions, straw men, non sequitars and a host of other stupidities and fallacies that many people will not even bother attempting to address them. In MtG's case he doesn't address them, he often just fires and forgets with 'smart posts', and he's never to be seen in the 'debate' again.

I wasn't implying it was/is a bad quality to have, but we are talking about being the best debater, not the greatest human beeing.
If that were the case then - certainly on Poly' - he would definately win that competition.

You think that's funny? There's a Massey University in New Zealand, and I believe they do have a debating society.
