Dylan got my avatar/name combo so he's got mad respect.

Eynon - nearly always a quality response, on a surprising range of issues

G5000 - Devastating in what you know

Em - 360 intellect on a profound number of issues, all with moderate tone and keen perception

Com - El Cid

Boris - Excellent challenger when you feel like it

Eric - Actual analysis of a given topic

Winchester - Stabilizing presence with requisite knowledge and perception

I like franz because even though I sometimes find it difficult to read his misspelled, grammatically incorrect, often broken sentences, he most often conveys interesting, substantive content. He also has a unique and idiosyncratic way about his views and analyses that I find refreshing, even when I disagree with them. He can also be quite hilarious. I will always remember his iconoclasm of Socrates: observing in his own hilarious and bizarre way that Socrates was something of a loon given to prolonged trances in which he thought gods were speaking to him. Pretty classic.

I also agree with his general estimation of the user base here which is why I don't care at all about the BOJOS outcome. I was, however, quite pleased to have qualified for the BOJOs by franz's estimation, one of the few poster's whose views I respect.

I think thedude and The Tooth are two posters who are worth serious consideration. I think Hyperion is worth such consideration as well. I enjoy Davethulhu and Indy. John Galt has his moments. Spider always makes an effort to take discussions seriously. I think he's one of the few members of the resident gun lobby who tries to operate within the realm of reason. NAB and Mr. Bill both strike me as very reasonable, with good humors. Philly has made some respectable posts recently, as has WizardfromOz.

I enjoy The Comrade for his jest and for the concise way in which he will sometimes observe the logical fallacies inherent within someone's argument. I think he would really have some interesting arguments if he just took the time to elaborate them more.

I quite enjoy eynon as a character, often very amusing, much as I enjoyed saz (who I wish would continue to participate).

Stratego has his moments, as does yass.

Also, G5000 has been making some great posts lately.

There are many other posters who I enjoy, but who don't post all that often.

OK I am wasted when writing this but:

Showboat: Seen as he's not got a mention what a legend, right wing (prick), but everyone knows what he's on about and is always friendly.

Boris: Biggest bighead in life. But even so can anyone match this man's political philosophy? No. Maybe not the most willing to accept someone else's argument but certainly the best to back up with figures and factors.

Exploited: The only Canadian I've heard of on this board. As a Brit he may become he may seem as a western European socialist, but he's not, God bless Canada.

Em: Can anyone say an easier to person to get along with on this forum? You don't even have to agree with her, but everyone loves her, em truly adds the much needed feminine touch to pcf.

You know what, these guys are not going to get a mention unless I do it: so thankyou : Clarino (if you're still active), Grandma Death, Homer, Sparse, Pebble and Breakage (probably the most active apart for Boris) for keeping International Politics alive, no matter what our view (showboat and boris are included in this) we probably remain the most contested group on here!

You're not bad for a scouser

As far as the whole Brit thing is concerned, just take a leaf out of Millwall FC's book and sing "No one likes us, No one likes us, No one likes us, we don't care..."
