Sonny wins in an upset.

1) Rocketman95 - He has no idea how much similarity we have in music/movie tastes...seems like a cool guy to hang out with. 9) PhiSlammaJamma - Probably my favorite name on the board...Very well - rounded poster. 12) Mulder - hate to do this, because Mrs. JB seems like an incredibly nice person, but haven't seen her in a while, and Mulder is a great poster 4) ima_drummer2k - fellow DMB fan, funny guy...can't go wrong. 11) thacabbage - Just can't deny his basketball takes/inside info 3) rimbaud - Judging only from posts(Only having met one person on the BBS), I'd say rimmy is the most intelligent poster that I have seen on the board. 7) Desert Scar 10) Stupid Moniker Abstain...too hard. 2) haven - Have to vote for a fellow East Texan. West II 1) heypartner - Despite his absense(And the notion that this is almost a cliche around here), heyp is the most knowledgeable basketball poster on the board. 9) The Cat - A guy that I got to know pretty well from the fantasy leagues/chat. 5) rockHEAD - Hilarious poster...king of the weird news category. 4) Achebe - One of my favorite posters from back in the day. 11) JuanValdez - I'd say this is the closest call that I actually decided to make...JV is my favorite NBA Dish poster, and DCKid is a good poster on all fronts. 3) Manny Ramirez - Just seems like an all - around good guy. 10) RocketsPimp - Probably the first name on the board that I acknowledged in the my first few days of posting. 2) TheFreak - Don't like his music at all, but too often I find myself agreeing with his optimistic, pro - Rudy talk.

1) Rocketman95 16) Yetti Yetti -- RM95 has wasted more bandwidth than any human alive. 8) Timing 9) PhiSlammaJamma PhiSlammaJamma -- much less offensive 5) Mrs. JB 12) Mulder Mulder - A partisan shill, no question about that, but is informed 4) ima_drummer2k 13) The Voice of Reason ima_drummer2k -- An excellent conservative 6) B-Bob 11) thacabbage SizzleChest (B-Bob) - He's starting to adopt some conservative leanings. Slowly but surely. 3) rimbaud 14) Johnny Rocket Rimbo - The definition of arrogant elitist. That's why I love him so dearly. 7) Desert Scar 10) Stupid Moniker StupidMoniker - Another excellent poster of good conservative stock 2) haven 15) Lynus302 Lynus302 -- A #2 seed for haven? While he's not as overrated as the college football team he supports, it's a bit high West II 1) heypartner 16) Faos heypartner - Rice alum 8) Almu 9) The Cat ???? 5) rockHEAD 12) bigtexxx bigtexxx - Rice alum and a conservative who's not afraid to shove it in the liberals' faces 4) Achebe 13) outlaw outlaw - Achebe is probably the worst poster of all time 6) DCKid 11) JuanValdez Tie - both good 3) Manny Ramirez 14) Live Manny - Fantastic poster 7) FranchiseBlade 10) RocketsPimp I'll go with Pimp since I've met him 2) TheFreak 15) Sonny TheFreak -- good conservative one-liners and he doesn't spend every other post bragging about how he can touch the rim.
West I 1) Rocketman95 16) Yetti Yet .................SIKE!!! .......RM95 8) Timing 9) PhiSlammaJamma PSJ 5) Mrs. JB 12) Mulder Tough call. Will go with Mulder since Mrs. JB hasn't posted in ages. 4) ima_drummer2k 13) The Voice of Reason ima_drummer2K (one of the most underrated posters here) 6) B-Bob 11) thacabbage Another tough call. B-Bob is too damn funny so he gets the nod. 3) rimbaud 14) Johnny Rocket rimbaud 7) Desert Scar 10) Stupid Moniker Desert Scar (good GARM posting even though I dont agree with alot of what he says) 2) haven 15) Lynus302 Lynus302 West II 1) heypartner 16) Faos heypartner 8) Almu 9) The Cat Almu 5) rockHEAD 12) bigtexxx rockHEAD 4) Achebe 13) outlaw Achebe 6) DCKid 11) JuanValdez Toughest call of em all.

You have never done anything me personally, so I really shouldn't take too much offense to your posts, but your bbs persona is that of an *******. Thought I'd be blunt and just lay it all on the line.
I'll assume you're serious and defend my actions. I'd say this is pretty out of character for me, but I just felt like enough was enough. Rather than judging posters by their merits, he ranks them by how conservative/unoffensive(To him, not to the entire board) they are. I realize my post was nothing short of a blatant attack, but so were his, and his weren't even prompted by any single post(Only months and months of bickering...I usually don't partake in D&D, but, in reading, I found him on one end of most attacks)... "RM95 has wasted more bandwidth than any human alive." "outlaw - Achebe is probably the worst poster of all time." BTW, if you didn't report to moderators, I know that T_J did, so I thought I would have this post sitting here waiting. I also stand by my post.
West I Abstain (saving votes for myself until later. ) Timing (gets a bad rap for having strong feelings about a subject that many of us really haven't experienced first hand...may disagree with him some, um Vanilla Sky, but I think he's speaking from the heart and personal experience most of the time) Mulder (would've been much closer had Mrs JB been around lately. I miss her) ima_drummer2k (always say "Carter Beauford on the drums, Carter Beauford on the drums" whenever I see his moniker) B-Bob (owes me a shot of wheatgrass in a couple of weeks for this vote!) rimbaud Stupid Moniker (need to e-mail him about my trip out there in a few weeks) Lynus302 (very close vote, but have to go with someone that I've actually met! ) West II heypartner The Cat rockHEAD (having two entries should be against the rules) outlaw (neither one of them have been posting nearly enough, but gotta go with the one I've seen most recently) DCKid Manny Ramirez RocketsPimp (another close one, but I've shared numerous beers with the Ladies' Man) TheFreak (Sonny was ranked way, way, way too low. Had he been up against almost any other poster, he'd have my vote. Probably a top-5 poster of mine.)
