Nitpick: The Spanish word for sea is mar – mer is the French cognate. Otherwise, a great clue!
To continue with the cryptic theme, here are two more:
Five beneath a man who’s unaffected by turnaround
She was a street criminal before initiating reform amid zealotry (both identities needed)
This would indubitably be Vunderbob!
How about: “Powerful Eskimo caps the motor’s revolutions”?
Deja vu?
Ha! Zing!
Nah, I answered Poly’s Xavier question.
Governor Quinn!
Nice! (Assuming it’s right)
What Elmer Fudd called Loki.
Be vewy vewy quiet. I’m hunting twickster.
Roland Orzabal got it in one. I would ask who manages to mention Tears for Fears in every thread but thats too easy 
Who is Sol’s fine feathered friend?
Hint #2: Not the Rotarians, neither.
OK, Ethilrist, I’ll try it.
I over-thought it and I was looking for someone with “Shriner” as part of the name, but then you said you didn’t need any steenking fezzes, so I’ll try FreeMason.
I don’t quite see how that works in with “leadership skills”, though.
On an amusing note, I really like the concept of ferretmasons…
He’s one mega MD.
Hint #1: Not Qadgop.
Hint #2: Not a Maiden.
Regarding my ‘Japanese Main Squeeze’ query - I’ll yield a hint.
Someone you could have animated discussions with.
HEY! We got outstanding questions and answers here and this thread has inexplicably moved to the second page!
Duke still has not popped in to confirm if either
Tiggrkitty or [bTiger Tiger** is correct, and if neither are, then to post a hint
Ethilrist has not confirmed the answer of
FreeMason or continued hinting at his latest
And I can’t find anyone that fits either FilmGeek’s or CandidGamera’s latest.
Hey, come on. I haven’t mentioned Tears For Fears once in this thread. Not once have I said the words “Tears For Fears”. I haven’t even named Roland or Curt individually, or mentioned that they’re on tour right now.
…oh. Crap.
Anyhow, in regard to Duke’s, Tiger Tiger is probably right. I guessed Tiggrkitty because I remembered the poem and couldn’t think of another tiger-related username…DogMom’s guess fits the question more accurately.
<undertone>
Psssst, Roland, I gotta tell you that I find a lot of these by just running a search for posts by <username> and uncheck the “find exact spelling”. I certainly don’t rely on my memory…
</undertone>
Nope, not freemason. I said they don’t wear fezzes…
Hint # Next: It’s an acronym.
I know you said they didn’t wear fezzes, but I thought since just the Shriners get the fezzes maybe…
Ah, well, I didn’t think that was it anyway, but I tossed it out there.
How about Gar? Am I getting closer?
Well, if it was Dar, then that might be it, because it might be Daughters of the American Republic, but since it isn’t, then no.
The username, however, does have an hypen in it.
