SSJKarma: "Question: Best posters of all time :: Total Votes:29"

Notice how it says "best posters of ALL TIME. Also notice that I'm the one who made it and should know more then ANYONE who I was reffering to when I made it. The question is who do you think is or was the best poster. They don't have to be constantly posting right now.. they could have posted once on August 5th and never been heard from again (yes, the forum began Aug. 5th).

Troy88: Ok, ok.. I'll re-read the last one just to make you that much happier.. :biggrin:

Ok, after reviewing it, there's 2 things I need to point out to you:

1. Realize that Token is doing the exact same thing that Zing79 is, and not only is he trying to have the last "say-so," but completly disregardes EVERTHING Zing and Quass say. Posts like "what fo you think a union is? they are trying to help the populous by requesting certain things, and being in a group does wonders. can you say thats wrong?" completly disregaurd any logic of TMy being the soul diety of the game. Token was being just as stubborn as Zing79. Your remark about Proffe$$or... Notice, again, how Zing79 IS trying to bring an end to it? He's not going on and on about it... once the point is apparent neither will be convinced of each other's views.. he puts an end to it (and no, it's not hiding behind his modship priviledges).

2. For some crazy reason you're under the impression that winning a debate is dependent on convincing the other guy of your oppinion. Now, I want you to do me a favor and look up the word "debate" both at home and at www.dictionary.com , and tell me where it says that the victor wins by convincing his opponent of his views.

And when you don't find it... remember back in the courthouses (the palaces of places to debate) and think... how often does one lawyer convince another of his views?? Never. Debate's arn't won by convincing someone of your views, it's by defending your beliefs the best. And what have you seen Zing79 do? Defended himself MORE then well enough above the competition on EVERY single one of his posts (and yes, I always have been "convinced" that Zing79 is right by his first post).

Simply put.. Zing79 is a the best poster because he can prove his point oh-so well, and defend himself better then anyone else I've ever seen (well, actually him and Quass are tied @ that).
