And my vote pushes Fez into first place...and removes the threat of Fez pushing me out of a helicopter.

It says a lot about the level of debate here, and about the other nominees

we should have a debate between the top two


MtG: well historical levels and other quanifiable materials as pertaining to this event . . .
Fez: I am right, because my statements in itself are proof.

It's obvious that having both Fez and Boris running will split the gay vote, thus skewing the result in favour of straight nominees.

In short, this poll provides nothing. It's criminal.

When Fez wins he will convince himself that he was sincerely voted the best debater on the board.

No, that doesn't. As long as you can say clever things sometimes, the trolls don't matter. I remember you pretty much pwn3d everyone on the free will thread, and also on the death penalty one.

I voted for you, and I don't see why you should see something wrong with this.

You are right. It has been corrected. The fault is not on my counting sheet- seems like the mistake was only in the transcription.

I don't even remember the free will thread.

Are you sure that was me?



Cheers for the vote, anyway.

It was in your 'Affirmative Action for Conservative Professors' thread. You managed to shut Skywalker's annoying free will believing trap- he kept arguing, but only because I was insisting, I suppose.

And who in the first place said we were to take the survey seriously? Like in any poll, some people are voting banana, some are taking it seriously, etc.

If you look solely at the nominations, though, it seems like most people took it seriously, because GePap, Spiffor, you, MtG, etc, are usually seen as good debaters.

Since Fez is the only outsider, there is an 'union of the silly' voting for him, while the serious guys split their votes between the 'right' nominees.

Yes, and the time that he was wrong he was really just joking. Jesus, you guys don't know how to take a joke. Get a sense of humor.

Adverse and averse are two different words. Averse means, roughly, "tending to avoid." Adverse means, roughly, "detrimental." I, personally, am Ned-averse, and I think that Ned has an adverse effect on debate.

With age, I'm learning to be careful about calling anyone a dumb*ss.

Ok, seriously. I vote Sikander. If he wasn't in there, out of the choices we were given it'd be GePap.

BTW, there should be a deadlinie for the poll, this Saturday or something. If it goes on too long, people like myself have been known to post off topic like crazy, as happened in the nomination thread. And then Urban Ranger will come storming in at 2 in the morning and spoil all the fun, flexing his newly acquired thread closing skills.

Mind you, not because there's a reason to, but because he can...
