Which posters excite me? Every poster who never gets mentioned in these threads. I see you there. ---

I never excite anyone. ā˜¹ [sub]just ask my wife [/sub] I would definetly say that I like seeing posts by: **Bad News Baboon** - Witty and intelligent. **Mouthbreather** - Not just because he is my official stalker either! There are honestly so many posters over the years whose posts I have enjoyed reading. Too many to name here. ---

Some faveā€™s of mine that havenā€™t been mentioned include: **Maeglin** : His knowledge of culture, the arts, and language is always a refreshing addition. **edwino** : A new favorite of mine since his patient and thorough handling of the ā€œDoes HIV cause AIDS?ā€ debate. **Dewey Cheatum Undhowe** : A longtime admirer of his concise and astute observations regarding politics, business, and law. ---

I personally donā€™t get excited by anyone. What I generally do is reduce the window size just enough to drag the window to the left just enough to obscure the name of the posters. Then I just read the posts without picking up any baggage of tending to agree or disagree with any individual. OK, I do look sometimes and there are some individuals that impress me more than others- but in general I look for content whether it be from a relative unknown with 120 posts or one of the superstars with 8000+ posts. ---

**Phlosphr** **Wang Ka** (I have lurked through many of his threads, but never felt intelligent enough to post to one) **Davebear** Love pushing that manā€™s buttons. **Blonde** with whom I do not always agree, but am always impressed with the depth of her knowledge and respect her opinion enormously. Andā€¦oyā€¦I can see the ego inflatingā€¦ **Dantheman** , who pushes _my_ buttons. ---

There are too many. This board is the highlight of my day thanks to the plethora of intelligent and funny posters. However, I will mention **Eve** because sheā€™s a temptress who makes me add more books to my wishlist on a regular basis. Evil! ---

Iā€™ve always felt some strange connection with **Sauron** & **JuanitaTech** , they always seem to say what Iā€™m thinking. I think that **Jodi** is one of the most kick ass posters on the board. ---

Iā€™d have to say that **Mangetout** always provides a good read. In addition, heā€™s far superior to me at controling his temper (does he even get angry?) and providing rational responses. And of course there are a plethora of other posters here who deserve mention (some have already gotten mentioned). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by World Eater \* > \*\*Well FWIW, Iā€™ve always thought your head is screwed on pretty tight. šŸ™‚ \*\* Alas, ā€œhead screwed on rightā€ rarely equals ā€œexciting,ā€ though Collounsbury and december, for instance, were maybe TOO exciting. I vote for Tomndeb, though he should change his name to JustTom since I donā€™t think Iā€™ve read a post by Deb. He knows everything I know, better, more of it, and can say it better. He irks the hell out of me sometimes because of it and I get a marvelously shallow pleasure on the rare occasion when I can one-up him. Polycarp makes me think. I donā€™t like doing that, preferring to make driveby, off the cuff remarks, but itā€™s something I _need_ to do. ---

For some reason, I thought this would be about movie and/or concert posters. When I was a youngster, that Farrah Fawcet poster got a lot of looks. I mean, a lot. I like it when posters you know for something else, post in unexpected threads. Like **Polycarp** posting in a LotR thread. **His4Ever** starting a Star Trek discussion. **Angua** playing silly fun games. **Lobsang** discussing digital photography. **Tars Tarkas** shaming an ignorant Pitizen. **Lynn Bodoni** linking to kitten pics. Et ceteraā€¦ Those unexpected posts are excitig. The Dope is a marvy fab place to be in the first place, tho. The mean get disciplined, the extremists get educated (maybe), the boring leaveā€¦ 99.97% of whatā€™s left over is interesting to someone. ---

Ummmā€¦ Maureen, you have me kind of confused. Iā€™ve posted about [people who have sex with fruit,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=195331&highlight=watermelon) [people who set their butts on fire,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=151130&highlight=fart) [the attempted murder of door-to-door religion salesmen,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=155187&highlight=witness) [and the time my bed tried to kill me,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=194040&highlight=waterbed) ā€¦ ā€¦and you didnā€™t feel _smart_ enough to reply? Jump in there, honey. Iā€™d hate to think I was impressing anyone with my serene dignity, here. I like **Scylla.** He and **Sauron** both have a gift for discussing the mundane in a way that not only makes me think about it, but elicits a snicker as well. At least. Other clever folks who keep me cominā€™ back include **Lobsang, Mangetout** (who didnā€™t even gripe when I pretty much hijacked one of his threads), **Satisfying Andy Licious, Diogenes, Lieu, Dinsdale, Shodan** (even if I donā€™t necessarily AGREE with 'm)ā€¦ andā€¦ jeez, WAY too many others to list, now that I really think about itā€¦ ---
