    StMack gets my vote. Does this guy ever do a post without linking to his own blog. The blog is interesting and readable even occassionally quite good, but enough already we know where you are.

  2. StMack   22 years ago

    D Lusional,

    I link to Hold the Mayo if the H&R topic happens to align with something I've already written about. I didn't think anyone would find that bothersome. Least of all someone who apparently doesn't hate what they've read on my blog.

    Anyway, thanks for the vote - and the link!

  3. Mark A.   22 years ago

    I vote for everyone who has ever used the term, "strawman".

  4. Mark A.   22 years ago

    ..I guess that includes me now....

  5. JDM   22 years ago

    I vote for anyone who's ever been effete and pretentious enough to use "[sic]" in a web post.

  6. fyodor   22 years ago

    Using the term "strawman" is okay -- IF you explain WHY you used it!!

  7. Anon   22 years ago

    I guess Jean Bart, joe, Kevin Carson, Lazarus Long, and the other 'nom du Reason' are just waiting for someone to nominate them.

    Suckers!

    If you just eliminated Thoreau, there would only be 20,000 coments

  9. Anon   22 years ago

    I guess Jean Bart, joe, Kevin carson, Lazarus Long and the many other 'nom du reason' posters are waiting with baited breath to be nominated.

    Suckers!

  10. Jean Bart   22 years ago

    I am not annoying, and do not expect to be nominated. 🙂

  11. Gwyn Thomas   22 years ago

    Congratulations,and I have enjoyed being among the 40,000.You should also be commended for having writers who will not only back up what they write,but will get down in the trenches with readers and debate.

  12. joe   22 years ago

    I am so going to win this.

  13. Winston Wolf   22 years ago

    "Let's not start sucking each others' d**** yet, gentlemen."

  14. Anonymous   22 years ago

    VOTE: Most annoying poster -- and list why.

  15. $.02 spender   22 years ago

    Thoreau.

    OK, I can take the insightful political discussion, sound understanding of political theory, and quick reposnses with wit and clarity.

    But this morning it turns out you're in gradute physics too!

    I don't think it's fair to debate with a server in the basement of the Cato Institute which has acheived sentience!!!!
