MGoPraise: Who is/are your favorite current poster(s)?
Okay, so I missed out on Nosce Te Ipsum's "Posters of Yore" thread (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/posters-yore#comment-1877663) about the most missed old-timers over the weekend and I'm feeling a little bummed out about it. So I decided that it might be fun to have an MGoFeelGood moment and throw some praise around: Who is/are your favorite current poster(s) and for what reason(s)?
I'll refrain from revealing my list because of my high-ranking position as moderator - wouldn't want to feel guilty for sending one of them to Bolivia for disagreeing with one of my opinions. Plus, I like to keep my favoritism on the down-low. But, since I didn't get to participate in Nosce's thread on Saturday, I will just say that I miss FormerlyAnonymous and Geaux Blue, two of my favorites and my MGoMentors.
(P.S. Whoever lists me as their favorite will get special treatment and maybe even extra MGoPoints in return. Kidding, of course. But not really.)

I believe she has a wonderful recipe for olive bread you'd certainly enjoy.
And thank you.

75% of his posts are followed by "your logic is not welcome here"

This topic actually made me realize how much I hate myself. The fact that no one has listed me as their favorite poster yet, has really caused me to question whether I have any value at all. MGoBlog, I need MGoHelp, I am in great need of reassurance and MGoSelfEsteem.
I deeply regret opening this page.
January 15th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
You must appreciate the value of perspective. Positive is only positive relative to negative. Without some of us for contrast, all these favorites would be just another fish in the pond, another post in the great blog of life, or just another fry in the onion ring basket.
January 15th, 2013 at 10:04 PM ^
Duck for President if my favorite poster. Always appreciate his insight and contributions to the board.
January 15th, 2013 at 10:39 PM ^
I'm touched. I really am. But I can tell when someone is blowing smoke up my ass. Particularly when you have 120 times the MGoPoints that I do.
But I'll play... MGrowOld is most certainly one of my favorite posters. You're wife has landed you conversations with both Mattison and Hoke. Doesn't get any better than that.
January 16th, 2013 at 8:33 AM ^
Thank you Duck (see I KNEW you were the man)
But to be fair my wife only got to talk to Mattision. My nephew got to talk to Hoke.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:15 PM ^
For me it has to be CRex, for the stories he posted about his Korean girlfriend/wife and her family. Absolutely hilarious.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:23 PM ^

Dammit. man. Why? Tell him you're sorry and that you didn't mean it or you're going to lose all of your points.

Magnus BiSB Profit and...WILMA EDWARDS-- I thought the wilma troll piece was funny- that woman is always on the freep and detnews trolling and being crazy-- just thought it was great that she popped up here for a day
January 15th, 2013 at 5:28 PM ^
but I'll always love the group of posters who were active in fall of 2010. Those were the guys (and gals) that got my interest level for MGoBlog up to eleven, even the bad ones who ended up with Bolivian vacations and bans over the "CC" era. Anyone who was around for bowl season 2010 as well: with the random bowls and more random conversations, and the drinking threads of that era, which pretty much blend into the bowl threads in my recollection.
Since I won't completely cop out with a "you know who you are" list, I'll mention B-Nut-GoBlue and a2electricboogaloo for their great taste in music. Also, profit deserves some non-sarcastic love; he's been great while I learned the moderating ropes.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:33 PM ^
Me.
Because I always tell the truth.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:34 PM ^
Well that just wasn't nice.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
now you kind of look like a dick.
(Note: a2electricboogaloo is not actually a dick).
January 15th, 2013 at 5:44 PM ^
HOW DARE YOU SAY I HAVE GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:57 PM ^
i was around back then...a lot of good men were killed. even myself.....but im baaaaack bitches

in 2011, but your memory is better than mine is when it comes to stuff that long ago on the site.
For another trip down memory lane, I'm pretty sure my first MGoDebate was with you, jmblue and MGoShoe (I'm less certain about Shoe being part of it) about players getting money on uniform sales. I remember being simultaneously convinced that you guys were wrong and that I was in way over my head.

I love our Mods for their willingness to wade hip deep through childish bullshit without hip-waders.
I love Brian, Ace, Seth, Heiko and ChewerD for THE CONTENT.
And I love each and every one of you for being such special little people. And a select few of you for your great butts.
Oh, and MGoBrewMom for THE BEER. And maybe the butt. I don't know. I've never seen it. If she's not offended by it, then the butt as well.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:29 PM ^
Blazefire makes me laugh sometimes. And I like Space Coyote, even though we don't get along sometimes.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:33 PM ^
If your favorite posters are those you only sometimes laugh at or sometimes get along with, I don't want to know what you think of the rest of us.
January 15th, 2013 at 10:23 PM ^
Well, you're not my favorite, because your avatar freaks me out. I'm very picky.
January 15th, 2013 at 8:10 PM ^
which makes this all quite awkward.

Thanks, 'Shoe. That's high MGoPraise coming from you.
And I'm not just saying this because you named me, but you and jmblue are my favorites. I appreciate how you two often act as voices of reason around here. There are plenty of other great posters here—too many to name—and that's one reason this is such a great site.
And I have to agree with profitgoblue on formerlyanonymous as someone who's missed.
January 15th, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
...jmblue and formerlyanonymous. I appreciate the way jmblue is willing to take on folks who are going off of the deep end and challenge their silliness. While we're at it, I also like the way Don handles himself and what he brings to the board. I appreciate M-Wolverine for much the same reason.
As for you, I gues it's a mutual admiration society then. I like how you have carved out a niche covering women's basketball and now baseball. I hope you'll consider doing pieces on other non-rev sports. I also like how you never fail to provide facts with references. I've never seen you respond sarcastically or negatively. I can't say the same for myself. I'm not always able to restrain my snark or on occasion, anger.
January 15th, 2013 at 10:30 PM ^
January 16th, 2013 at 9:21 AM ^
...one of these mutual back slapping posts I name dropped Purplestuff in my list. Don't always agree with him, but I do appreciate that he comes to the table with reasoned arguments.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:37 PM ^
Magnus .... but I sure do miss RDT LOL.

WolverineHistorian, he brings a dimension to the board that nobody else brings.
January 15th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 9:56 PM ^
Wolverine Historian, hands down. He is not just a poster, he is a public servant.
January 15th, 2013 at 5:42 PM ^
I haven't been around posting long enough to get a good feel for a big group of the posters... but I do like the posts by Magnus. Realist and informative.
And the person who only posts in gifs. They are priceless.
