Good list, although I think you should take into consideration a certain level of original content too. Making threads is nearly as important as posting in them. Many of those people just don't make threads.

I would vote for Sandman, but he isn't around enough.

Comrade makes good points, but he frequently gets bogged down in disputes, and sometimes trolls more than is appropriate. So he doesn't get my vote, although I do agree with him more often then not (except in terms of entertainment of course).

G5000... Well, he's funny, and economically, there aren't many who can compete with him. But he hasn't posted enough here, and I haven't seen ANY original content from him. So no vote here.

WizardOfOz... Don't know him well enough. From what I've seen, I'm not especially impressed. Just "okay" in my books, in terms of post quality.

JDHURF... He frequently makes good posts, but I can't vote for a guy who is that ideological. I view it as an intellectual weakness, and the BOJO Recipient for 2012 shouldn't have an intellectual weakness. Also, I'm not sure if he has a sense of humour.

Enyon gets my vote. He is never an asshole, and he frequently makes us laugh. He always has good opinions, and those opinions are not limited to any one ideological belief. He is a lawyer, but a good-guy lawyer, and he has been a long time contributor to this community. He frequently posts original content, and as a result, we've had a number of really interesting discussions.

Thought it worth noting.

There were short lists before this, first was about 20 long back months ago when I was thinking about this.

Last was 11 long, 2 more than names listed. Both of which are i'm afraid, super secret 4 evars.

also its important to note as part of my scoring system you had to at least get a 3 in one category to qualify, so you had to be really quite good at one of my 4 metrics. More than two 0's and you were out of the running as well.

Enyon and Comrade get my 2 votes. WizardfromOz is not too far off though.

Enyon seems to be a great poster, perhaps not the wittiest but is friendly and often makes good posts. Since I stay away from US politics a fair bit I don't engage much with Comrade, but some of the stuff I read is incredibly witty which is always good in an argument, although admittedly seems quite stubborn. WizardfromOz makes numerous good points IMO just maybe not made enough posts yet to get my vote, knows his history well and seems like a nice guy.

Because of me keeping away from US politics I really haven't seen much from the other 3. I like JDHURF's left wing approach but that might be more to do with me being quite left myself. Not seen much from Sandman or G5000 but I'm sure they're good guys.

I think Showboat and Exploited were deserving of at least a mention. Showboat is an amusing character and backs up his arguments well, which is surprising seen as I disagree with him a lot. Exploited is witty and also backs up arguments well.

[JDHURF]

Boris clearly put a lot of effort into this. I enjoyed reading his little bios. Honored to be mentioned.

I would've liked to see Boris on the list himself. I would've voted for him. I think thedude could've been on there as well.

I'm voting for eynon.

[Dobby]

Yea Boris would have been a good mention. Although it would have come across as very big headed if he'd have put himself on the list.

Thank you Dobby, appreciate the kind words.

I'd say that Boris should have been on the list, but there is too much friction between him and others to really go anywhere. The quality of his posts are well-known though.
