What turkey are you referring too?  The country, or the bird?

TradeSecret was on my list at DDO, and now that he's here, I have added him.

Polite to a fault, great at research, and willing to assume the best of his opponents. His arguments are fresh and original too.

It's sad to see how many great posters are no longer active here. But here is my updated list.


Speed race

RationalMadman - quit the site

EtrnlVw 

bmdrocks21 

Athias 

Dr.Franklin 

Drafterman 

Mhykiel - dormant

SirAnonymous - quit the site

Imabench - was banned

PGA2.0 

3RU7AL 

Greyparrot 

Outplayz - reduced participation

GuitarSlinger - dormant

Janesix - Just reappeared

Christen - dormant

Swagnarok - dormant

Grugore - dormant

Whiteflame - Reappeared (much to the board's delight)

Rosends (he/she) is effortlessly logical, clear thinking and informative. Good counter puncher too. Patient too.

Tradesecret - Polite to a fault, great at research, and willing to assume the best of his opponents. His arguments are fresh and original too.

It's terrible that my reading list has been so decimated.

Yes. I don't think the mods ever knew how much the site needed him. Nor do I think the owner was ever appropriately grateful for his actions in helping the site establish itself.

We can always hope he will grow bored enough out there to want to return.

I concur. And RM had the winning username in my book. Very rational, in a face-pounding mild way [contradictory?] No, not in a multi-folded universe of numberless dimensions, and certainly a madman in all the right respects. In many ways though I never said it, I though of RM much like the troubling mad hermit who comes out of the mountain with a lantern, proclaiming "I seek God," and daring you to demonstrate same: the Nietzsche character.

I got the same vibe about him! And he would have loved that Nietzsche parable. I think often he went right over the heads of everyone, misunderstood and tortured for being so constantly misunderstood, but still with his humor intact.

If that is bothering you, don't let it. Up to today, I don't know if RM liked or hated me. We had minor beef, but RM had beef with just about everyone, but I never let beef blind me to a person's value to the board.

I agree to an extent, although there is a threshold where the user becomes so unbearable their contributional value doesn't outweigh the sullied user experience of everyone they target with their antics. 

In RM's case, I think it was pretty clear he was a net positive force on the site.

I don't see how this makes a difference to you at all with dee dee and Willows roaming the board and you a mod.

We agree on that.

Athias – probably our most intelligent poster. Concise, polite, and genius level easiness.
Well stated.

He wouldn't shut-up about it.
