Aww **Wolfie** you’ve made me blush, I really like your style because its so unique, always know when the **Wolf’s** been in a thread. I’d like to add **Redboss** , he always manages to be funny and informative. ---

Ooh, in the up and coming 0-1000 posts category, a new contender: > [@](#): > > _Originally by Truth Seeker_ > Waverly, if you are a day over fourteen, the educational system has a lot to answer for. The people who wrote the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the Constitution did not invent the concept of innate human rights. Rather, they drew on a long intellectual tradition grounded in the concept of natural law. > > While it may come as a surprise to you, there are entire branches of philosophy that do not involve Star Wars action figures. I know that since you are completely ignorant of it, it is, therefore, worthless. Nonetheless, some of us less-enlightened folks find it a sufficient challenge for our stunted intellectual powers. I still can’t read this without laughing! ---

No additional offense intended to Waverly, of course. I have no opinion on the accuracy, just the quality of the writing… ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Gomez \* > **Shodan, Joe\_Cool, gobear and Sam Stone** are all great at arguing a position while being entertaining and funny at the same time._\* Wow, Thanks! I really thought I’d be the last person mentioned here, but I see **Jack Dean Tyler** and **Wildest Bill** , so I guess it’s not so far fetched. 🙂 And not bad company to be named with. **gobear** and **Sam** are both pretty sharp in a debate. I have to say that **ExTank** is one of the best writers on the board, and he has a knack for writing very well-reasoned, even-tempered, and informative posts. **Ace Of Swords** is, bar none, the funniest person I’ve ever seen in the pit. I think he gets funnier in direct proportion to the heat in the thread. ---

What about **Zev\_Steinhardt** and **Handy**? No fluff, no B.S., no overstatement. Just the truth as they know it. ---

(you too **Rue** ) Sometimes, when I look back at my own stuff, I wonder if I’m keeping too many browser windows open. I try to post in GQ and GD when I can, but someone has usually already said what I was gonna… So, Cafe and MPSIMS are my babies _if I could just get my whiskey bottle away from that fucking panda…_ BTW, I just recently moved over here from a rather boring place, and I love it! Most of you are delightfully witty and quite cogent. And the morons just make my day! Really. I’m afraid I would eat up the entire storage space for SDMB if I listed everyone I like.

Okay, I will. Love the story threads **dougie** \*\* Of all the threads I expected (okay, was hoping) would show up in a vanity search, ‘best writing’ was NOT one of them. ‘Dead Sexy’, maybe. ‘Most Horny’, well, I’d be insulted if I wasn’t mentioned. But best writing? Wow! Thanks, Next Prophet. No beatings for you tonight. ---

Gotta bow to the already-mentioned **Fenris** , whose knowledge of comics, SF and related fields is stunning. For old-fashioned wisdom, with style and good taste, you can’t go wrong with **CalMeacham** and **AuntiePam**. And, yes, **Cervaise’s** historic and hilarious takedown of the poor beleagured telemarketer is worthily a legend. But for advice on bars and scotch eggs, one has to go with **Czarcasm** :D, the Moderator of a Thousand Uses, thankfully as NOT seen on TV. ---

That Cecil Adams guy wrote something once that was pretty good. I think it was about … damn can’t remember. Oh well, I guess it couldn’t have that good then. Besides, there are rumors he doesn’t even really exist. ---

These are all good nominations! But let’s not forget **Chronos** , who explains the science stuff with great clarity to the layman. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-poster-writes-the-best/142078.md?page=2)
