It's time for some friendly recognition! Below are my suggestions for nominees.
Feel free to make any additions. If we get any consensus we can start a poll.

Guidelines:

1. Don't go nominating yourself!
2. Don't nominate any authors of insulting posts.
3. Nominations should match this sort of criteria; intelligent, insightful, humorous, interesting, emotive (in a good way) etc etc
4. Nominations should include the persons username and one of their posts.

Here are mine in no particular order:

Troll

theolein

Simeythelimey

Logic

Boots

(more to follow)

No time right now to pick out a singularly excellent post by either, but

ThunderousFunker
Moki
BlackGriffen
zigzag

have excellent track records for stimulating thoughtful discussion.

I'll link something later when I have more time.

I appreciate the thought, boots, and the feeling is mutual, but these types of threads make me nervous - so many people contribute in their way and I wouldn't want to slight anyone by making a list.

I will say one thing - every time I think the lounge is going down in flames, thoughtful new contributors like Gee-Man and clarkgoble (not new, I guess, but I didn't have any exchanges with him until recently) turn up, and that keeps me coming back.

Yeah, those were just the first off the top of my head. With more thought, I should add:

Roger_Ramjet
Clarkgoble
gee-man
vmpaul
davesimondotcom
Spliffdaddy (surprise-surprise)


And the list will grow. It would be easier, if much less appropriate, to name those I could do without.

But TF and BG are the ones that always make me come away thinking I learned something.

I don't think saying that diminishes the other contributions. There are certainly others that keep me coming back.

Consistent high marks should always go to thunderous_funker, zigzag, SimeytheLimey, BlackGriffen, and Clarkgoble but THE single best post of the year has to go to Spliffdaddy doing his imitation of SimeytheLimey. I'm sorry I don't remember the exact thread where it's posted.

Maybe in hindsight it isn't as funny but at the time during a contentious, fast-moving debate it really broke the tension and broke me up.

[vmarks]

sheesh, you lay off posting for a week and everyone forgets you exist...

[Spliffdaddy]

It's rare that I say anything noteworthy.

Simey and vmarks create posts that are always worth reading, in my opinion.

Every now and then I see posts from theolein that are outstanding - any post where he isn't chewing somebody out is a good one.

For some strange reason, the Iceland gang kicks much ass on a regular basis, too.

I dunno. I like most of the folks that post here. Everyone has achieved their 15 minutes of fame as far as I can tell.
