This is my list of members whose posts are so often good that I have developed the habit of reading them whenever I see their name, regardless of the thread's topic. Their posts are usually intelligent and enjoyable to read.

In no particular order:

Speed race – he’s hella funny. And fair.

RationalMadman – he knows things. Almost always the first to know what’s going on.

EtrnlVw - Our most original thinker. Very polite and has intriguing ideas.

bmdrocks21 – intelligent posts.

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

Dr.Franklin – great sense of humor, to the point openness. Never gets insulted.

Drafterman – intelligent posts. Very logical. Steady disposition.

Mhykiel – Clear headed intelligence.

SirAnonymous – probably the best sense of humor. Creative and original thinker.

Imabench – The best and most objective political instincts. Intelligent posts.

PGA2.0 – Best religious poster. Knowledgeable, friendly, and intelligent.

3RU7AL – interesting worldview, unflappable character.

Greyparrot – best political poster. Quick wit, and a wealth of political knowledge.

Outplayz - Very intelligent, but without arrogance. Easy to talk to.

GuitarSlinger – a principled poster. Intelligent and morally objective.

Janesix – Just a pleasant poster. Very honest about herself. Interesting ideas.

Christen – A poster without guile. Enhances the quality of any thread he enters.

Swagnarok – an all round intelligent poster. Enjoyable posts.

Honorable Mention:
PressF4Respect - Intelligent, very good counter-puncher, but inconsistent.

The Mods - As anything they say could be important to me, so I read them.

Who's on your list?

You must read quite a bit on this site. I'm flattered by your description of me. The best sense of humor? Original thinker? Creative? I wouldn't describe myself with any of those terms.

Which is part of the reason they so correctly apply to you.

An interesting opinion. I'd be curious to know if anyone else agreed with it.

Some will, and some won't. But you don't post enough, so too few know you.

But remember, the number of people agreeing or disagreeing does not change your innate talent at all.

You got to be the way you are partly because you weren't consumed with popularity in the first place.

And it drives them nuts about you Doc. They give you all they have, and you just keep floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee.

In the end they lose, not because you knocked them out, but because they saw they couldn't knock you out!

True enough. If I wanted popularity, I wouldn't be a conservative opposed to Trump, a Christian and a YEC, or a poster responsible for large numbers of bad jokes.

That's a pretty good list and thank you for the high complement I'll just add a few...

Ethang5 - courageous, steadfast, witty sense of humor, quick sharp thinker, good judge of character

Casten - clear-headed, non-judgmental, funny, fun, smart

DebateArt.com - great guy, cool calm and collective

PressF4Respect - this member was already mentioned but one of the more sincere posters, open-minded and willing to leave pre-conceived notions at the door for the sake of convo. That is rare here.

Last but not least...
Disgusted - precious, extremely kind and sensitive, non-biased, delightful, mature, non-abrasive, excellent communication skills and just an all around great person to discuss things with (LOL)

I totally agree on Casten but she seems to be taking a break from the site after her poor treatment in the bsh1 incident.

I hope she comes back soon. The site is certainly less without her.

Thanks.

Here's my list of honest thoughts about some people.

blamonkey- smart, I think he's a libertarian, but perfers to not be identified with political parties.

bmdrocks21- Sounds like Ben Shapiro.  Collected.

bsh1- Someone who posts charming posts.  I think he's took poetry o something.  I couldn't do it.

Dr. Franklin- Always insults the left and the elite.

Thanks, I try not to be another corporate emotional droid running the machine of our society built on the rich of Silicon Valley and Wall Street

Supadudz- The least political person on this site and tries to make friends with everyone.  Also, he loves Greece and I don't know what he ate on Thanksgiving because as a Greek, he hates Turkey.

Rational Madman- Very angry at me.  Never was fun to debate with him.

The SJWs: Disgusted and mustardness/ebuc- If debateart had $1 donated every time they insulted or had poor conduct, they wouldn't have to ask for any more donations.

I am of course my own must-read poster. If I ever get a necroposted thread and notice my username I read it. I really am a great poster and even when I'm not, it's usually a worthwhile read seeing my booty get smacked in a flamewar (in hindsight, it's not so fun at the time).

Everyone else is a must-read poster in relation to how close or threatening they are to me.

If these are the people you "must" read, then I have only one question:

Why do you have so much time on your hands?

Time is relative Coal. What to you is "so much?"

I have fast internet and it usually takes me only about 30 minutes to read all the posts in my "must read" list.

I'm also retired, so I get to decide on how my time is spent, with the approval of Mrs. Ethan of course.

Incidentally, you almost made the list, because you are very well educated. But your posts are not often enjoyable. You seem unhappy... grouchy. It's just my personal take, I'm not stating facts.

What do you think of your own sense of humor? Do you value humor?

Grugore - has been added to my list of "must read" posters.

Drafterman - was on my list before he became a mod. His name will not now be subsumed under mods because I would read his posts even if he were not a mod.

To be fair, I should do the same with Virt and Rag, because I would read their posts even if they were not mods, but I'm too lazy for all that change.

Whiteflame is a great poster, but it's sad to consider he saw nothing worth posting about or no one worth posting to.
