Most of you will recognize that acronym, but notice it's not quite right. That's because instead of Rumbler of the Month, I suggest we establish Arguer of the Month. Just think of what this would do:
<ol>
<li>Now OB1 and ABF could argue more</li>
<li>We could keep track of who really does make the best points and who dodges the questions.</li>
<li>Each month, we could award one poster with the coveted AOTM title, which would lead to incessant bragging!</li>
<li>There would be a worthwhile reason to actually read through the many "discussions".</li>
</ol>
I'm sure there are plenty of other great benefits too. We just need to establish a couple judges, and we are ready to go.
And I'm only being partially sarcastic. It would be funny.
Sounds pretty cool, actually.
Just that the judges have to be unbiased and not be in debates themselves.
But people not in the debates generally don't read them...
Did you totally miss the point?
What point? That arguing is silly? Some of you think that. I completely disagree... but haven't we been over this way too many times? I don't care if you think its silly, I like to have debates in the forum. Gives me something interesting to do.
You did miss the point...
LL's point is that if there's a contest, people WOULD start reading them! That's the whole idea. Saying no one reads them now is ignoring the fact that this is intended to be the answer to that very thing!
Hmm... good in theory, but given how lazy people around here are I bet they wouldn't bother reading all that stuff (they typically tend to be long) and would just randomly guess at stuff like you usually do.
Well I win this one. What's my prize?
Whatever award people who give themselves prizes get... :D
Tonight on SOLID POINT:
ABF: Are midgets well represented in XBox games? I say yes.
OB1: No!
ABF: Yes!
OB1: No!
ABF: Yes!
OB1: No!
ABF: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss!
GR: Let's get back to my cannabalism metaphor!
DJ: You two should shut up! I agree with that one though and the other one is wrong, but I'm not taking sides.
OB1: You suck, plus it's obvious I'm right!
ABF: You're wrong, and I'm right.
DJ: This argument is stupid, and I'm right!
GR: Maybe if you saw eye to eye, plus my metaphor sounds so good you should all be considering it every day!
OB1: That's a stupid thing to say and you're a stupid person for saying it!
I hate arguments. Stupid ABF just sucks me into them all of the time. But hey, at least we're not afraid of standing up for our opinions.

NO, I WIN THIS ONE!
Me and OB1 should both win. :)
Sure, have a AOTM sounds good on paper, but in application it just wouldn't work. Why? Because ABF and OB1 would win everytime.
...
*ZING!*
Hahaha. I sure don't want to be a judge because I sure don't want to read all that, but I thought I'd throw the idea out. Thanks for being nice, Fittisize.
Yeah, we'd win... but you'd have to decide between the two of us. :)
To tell you the truth I'm sick of all these arguments. They get really tiresome.

NO, <I>I'M</i> SICK OF THE ARGUEMENTS.
You don't have to read them, poopy-pants!
Yeah, we wish you would, but no one's forcing you...

Lol. Poopy pants.
Well, it seems like one of my jokes has slipped through the cracks. =P
OOO I wanna be a judge...
I think I should win since my debates are more intelligent. *has large ego*

But I said poopy-pants... that's not a serious insult.
Moiraine, as a slight nit pick from the online fasion gestapo, your sig pic isn't working, and hasn't been.
Sssshhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I don't want to see that stupid Vanilla Coke sig again!

I know it wasn't, hence the 'lol'.
