Most readable Cellarite?

This thread may crash and burn, but here goes. Voters will be anonymous, so have no fear of casting your vote. This was inspired by a perusal through several old threads where people had commented on the irritation factor of several cellarites (one included me, go figure).


I changed my mind at the last second. The original idea for the poll would inevitably become a hurtful flamefest. So i changed it at the last second, but forgot to change the title before pressing submit .

Which cellarite do you MOST like to read posts from? Even if you don't agree with them on most issues, is there someone that always makes you think about issues from a different perspective? Maybe there is someone who just makes you laugh and brightens your day?

There are a few names listed, if you aren't there, don't take it personal, i just listed the names that came to mind immediately.

There is also a "write in" poll option. tell us who i forgot and why you value their posts.

For me it was a very close decision but I have to go with RichLevy, because of the way that he posts. I rarely agree with his views, but I always respect them. Rich has a well thought out rationale for his beliefs and he explains his beliefs in a calm, non-insulting manner.
I don't recall ever seeing him resort to namecalling or broadbrush stereotyping. I know that because i don't agree with much of what he says, that i will always get a different perspective which enables me to test my own beliefs.

so for those reasons, i always pay special attention to RichLevy's posts.

My "write in" is for wolf. She's always got something funny or interesting to say.

Write in:

Elspode

Even if he's a big ole screaming hippy, pagan, tree hugging weirdo, his posts usually generate the most understanding and/or the least conflict out of anybody I can think of.

Edit: Damn, fine, whiner...

I had a hard time choosing between UT, LJ, and xoB. Finally went with Bruce for the simple fact that he bought my CD.

That, and he displays a good balance of whimsy and outrage, each at their appropriate time. And there's the dodad thread, of course.

It's kind of a big tie between about 7 people, actually. Tough call. elspode, wolf, all of you are entertaining and/or infuriating in your own way.

I vote for wolf. She always cracks me up and/or makes me think about things in a completely different way.

Gosh, so many you didn't list! My #1 fav is elspode... With Wolf, BigV, and Jag in there. Each one for different reasons...

I put a write in for perth, but only because I know him IRL and his posts crack me up, knowing him personally.

2nd place goes to staceyv. I can't put my finger on why, but reading about the neuroses of her life are funny and often very entertaining.

I voted for xoxoxoBruce. His comments are almost always the most insightful in my opinion.

Actually, now that I think about it I wasn't really basing it on whose posts I enjoy the most. That'd be too hard. Instead I chose based on whose posts I value most.

UT - i'm sorry for the confusion, i'm a dumbass and forgot to change the thread title. i just decided that their would be no way to prevent it from spirally into negativity and that wasn't what i wanted. you can change it to something more appopriate if you like.
