I’m gonna put in a good word for **John Mace**. I’ve been running into him a lot in GD, where he and I are usually on opposing sides of assorted issues. He’s an honest debater, I like his style, and I’m hoping he stays around. ---

I don’t know how new **Ice Wolf** is, but if he isn’t new I’ve only recently noticed him. He never fails to impress 🙂 ---

**Mr Excellent** has caught my eye - he seems almost as power hungry and hell bent on dictatorship as me. and will be killed when the time is right ---

Ditto for **Q.E.D.** …although I don’t know if he counts as a newbie anymore, seeing as his post count is twice mine! ---

Your contibutions to my threads have helped keep the fun quotient up. 🙂 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Rhino’sHoney \* > \*\*I’ll nominate: > > Davebear > Branwen > Tanookie > and Flybynight > > for being huge fun, making me really laugh out loud and for talking about the stuff I like to talk about but don’t get the opportunity to do in real life \*\* Thanks, RH! I’d nominate the same list, substiting your name for mine. And, I agree about the fun. I’d also add **tag** , for being the best flirt I’ve run across, here. I think she’s a newbie. And, I’m sure there are others, but unless I notice their post count is under, say, 50, I don’t think of them as newbies. Heck, I’m still a newbie, and look at _my_ post count. ---

I’ll second **Copasthetic** and **QED**. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by iampunha \* > **Seconding most of the others (I don’t go into GD enough to ahve noticed Priam), but someone who’s impressed me since I started reading his posts is Mtgman. He’s got the eloquence of tomndebb and the command of logic and facts of the same. He also seems to be equally adept and handling both flaming and being flamed, which on this board is rather a must.** Thanks for the compliments! To be honest I don’t think I’ve ever really been flamed on the SDMB. A decade on usenet may have immunized me though. I’d also like to second **RTFirefly’s** appreciation of **John Mace**. Although, like **RT** , I am often on the other side of the arguement I appreciate the good faith he displays. It is a refreshing change from the dishonest debating tactics of some of our resident idealogues. Hey, **John** , here’s to ya! Enjoy, Steven ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Shade \* > \*\ ***Satisfying Andy Licious** because he has a great name. \*\* Thanks, **Shade.** But I wonder if I haven’t painted myself into a corner with this name. Imagine if I go to a Straight Dope fest. I walk in and say, “Hi, I’m Satisfying Andy Licious.” Everyone says “Of course you are but what’s your name?” \*\* > [@](#): > > Oh, and he made some posts too. \*\* Cite?
