re: I'd like to create a Landmass only awards subset

Yet DMagic throws a wink about a prospect -- or WiO says he feels good about something -- and you all fall in line and trust it as unquestioned reality. Yancy says you "only want one MSU prospect" -- and you all repeat it as the gospel truth flying in the face of a mountain of evidence to the contrary. You and your boy RebelAC are the first to fall in line and fight for the company line no matter how outlandish.

There is more obvious delusion on the front page of the rebelrant than there is in here. But you only notice it and then obsess over it when it's OUR delusion. Hence why the word hypocrite finds it's way into so many of my posts.

God damnit

'Grats on the award.

Would you rather TAAC or ACTA?

I think I'll change it to ACTA. It rolls off of the tongue easier.

The DanMullins4Life award: given to the poster with the best inside info.

DM4L's award should be given to the best farker and user of other media formats from tLandmass.

However, it's really only him, so I guess he'll get the award every year like raymondmercer.

Got it

All true. Besides the part about looking at variables in a vacuum. What I really think and what I post in arguments with some OM posters are sometimes very different things. Some of my stuff is more of a test that gives me a clear understanding of other posters than it is "my actual opinion".

For instance -- I view you, WiO, DMagic, and a few more rebs here as good actual debate posters. All 3 of you have the ability to think for yourselves and form relevant, insightful opinions that cuts through the bullshite when you want to. Even when arguing, I enjoy and generally respect that debate. However, I admit that I view some of the OM posters here as pawns with no actual insight or critical reasoning simply repeating what they've been told to believe -- which is what makes them easy to posterize. At which point, they hate and obsess -- even to the point of an "engie award"...

I want you and RebelAC to go at it with Engie from start to finish, just once.

No relying on Pank, DC, or WIO to actually have the debate where you two can just throw little jabs in here and there and think "Oh we really got him good guiz. LULZ"

Neither one of you would last 2 pages. WIO is really the only one of you that can.

Add in Realist to the respectable posters and I think you have a pretty solid description of the Bear Rant.
