…sounds like a Great Debate.
It’s definitely not me. So who is it?
Simple. I am.
Proof: If anyone was a greater debater, they would have answered before me. No one did, thus I am.
Oh, please, for the love of God, Allah, Vishnu, the IPU, or whomever you please, don’t do that with your sig.
Ok, I thought it was a lil weird too, so I changed it. 
So, waterj2, are you saying you are the master debater?
I am, simply on the basis that I barely ever come to GD, so there is no evidence to prove me wrong. Therefore, I simply declare it.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have no need to waste my godlike debating skills on you sickly peons, I’ll be off to MPSIMS now.
Unfortunately, while MPSIMS is usually the place these types of things are banished to, the people who might actually answer this thread don’t all frequent that place.
What to do, what to do…
To quote Kyberneticist:
To debate this point I would like to offer you a forum title and its description as evidence of why this statement is wrong:
IMHO - “What’s your favorite …?” For frank exchanges of views on less-than-cosmic topics. This is also the place for polling.
IMHO is where polling belongs silly.
I think I need to see a cite, thanks.

Or, if you wanted this thread to stay in Great Debates, you could make it into a debating contest on. . umm. .errrr. . something.
But who would judge, because the mods of this forum are Great Debaters themselves.
I took an extensive poll to determine who was the greatest debater ever. Here are the results:
200% believe Enderw23 is the greatest debater.
0% believe anyone else is.
Methodology:
I asked “who is the greatest debater on the SDMB” to everyone within a 5 foot radius of my workstation.
Sample size (including myself): 1
Randomness: none.
Margin of error: 0%
Note: Participants could vote more than once.
How 'bout this ringing endorsement from Gaudere, on yours truly:
Or do I just get the gold in being a rapid imbecile?
The greatest debater would have the self-confidence not to have to claim or prove it to anyone, and the humility to refrain from doing so.
In fact, he would be readily acknowledged by all members as the ideal source of information. His views, while questioned, would never be truly refuted.
Obviously, I speak of Cecil.
Yes, Polycarp; in other words, and very literally, there’s no such thing–or at least there’s a collective that answers the description, and not an individual.

All-righty, this is pretty much a “Prom Queen” thread, so I’m sending it over to slythe’s demesnes.

Bah! Seeing as none of our best debaters will ever concede a point or admit being wrong or mistaken, everyone gets a flashy blue ribbon and the prize becomes worthless. Isn’t that just dandy . . .
[sub]Yes, I am in a foul mood. Would you care to make something of it?[/sub]
Whereas my only contributions to GD went there AFTER my submissions, I’m pretty sure it’s not me. Then there’s what Necros once said:
Looks like proof to me!

- Hpster Doofuz -?- (AOL board) was fairly unwell liked by all. We managed to agree a couple times so his record isn’t perfect, though. Opal or another oldster Doper once said he was still out there somewhere, haunting the remains of the AOL board. -But I’m dating myself (and probably gettin’lucky tonight!) - MC
