Jingthing and Theblether are among my favourite posters, but i would give my vote to Street Cowboy, for his distinguished writing style..Very funny.... ( when i understand what he says )

By distinguished do you mean how he signs all his posts?...

SC

He has an alternative signature ... two knees

Could the OP set the criteria for the nominations ...

For example, are the Mod's and/or Honorary members edible for nomination?

Does the nominated person have to be currently posting? Maybe a member is currently under suspension awaiting acknowledgment of the warning ... thinking necronx99 ...

... or similar ...

Always makes a good, fair, factual and balanced comment. Also never any spelling mistakes... ;-)

No mods for nomination.....however they can vote. No banned members for obvious reasons.....that covers it I think!

Edit: I'm not sure how many mods are edible David....some of them tend to have a nasty bite themselves!

I nominate

MORCH

Probably not the best known of posters but a pretty amazing and knowledgeable adult voice on topics about Middle Eastern political issues.

Middle Eastern political issues??.....hows that work on Thai Visa?

News forums.

I nominate Geriatrickid. I don't always agree with him, but quite knowledgeable and some very informative posts.

Also he posts on a wide range of subjects.

where is the sense of humour gone?

Hard to pick one out - but as a group the Fox news surrogates on the Obama election threads for their unstinting efforts to argue the impossible, illogical and their adherence to a level of denialism rarely seen in other posters.

So yeah, maybe CMK.

You do realize Christianity didn't really take off till they started throwing people to the lions.

and here I was thinking it was cable TV...

Over here in the Spurs end mate.

Maybe we should disqualify those who are 'awaiting acknowledgement', to encourage them to bite the bullet and climb back into the playpen with the rest of us.... TV would be richer for their return.

Funny. But that would not be ethical. Still very funny.

Otherwise I shall have to use this....

+1

Did someone turn the heat up a notch ...

.

Ive deleted a couple of posts

now just keep calm and carry on

ok?

I vote for Smokie 37

You know he is a Yid as well? Its a great coincidence that.

I think it helps the gentle reader know when I've made my point, and if he's that bothered, he can go back and try to figure out what it was

SC

Are we even having a vote? Very clearly it is Changmaikelly.

Seconded. Anyone who gets that many posts deleted must be doing something right.

Jude voyes for the quite delectable, sophisticated, intelligent and obviously not 16 member and stuff the rules.......

I vote for Semper for always objectively making a funny turn to any thread.

I vote for Smokie36 for always being relaxed.

Semper is a good choice I think.

I'd like to see him and Payboy on the same thread though!

BigJohnnyBKK is another good choice.

now just keep calm and carry on

ok?

Okay

Okay

Go run your own contest!

Honestly....some mods....

Agree with all of that.

How many can we nominate?

I'd also put forth Trembly. Smart, funny, even-tempered, balanced and an unparalleled ability to provide both a western viewpoint and Thai (and to speak with an authority on the latter rarely if ever matched).

There are others...

Sent from my iPad using ThaiVisa ap

More than one if you have good reasons....why not?

Jingthing deserves it. He goes out of his way to help people and is never rude to anyone

As a runner up I'd like to mention Neversure for his economic common sense. I haven't seen him mention and I'm vehemently against at least one of the major nominees. Awarding poster of the year to a major antagonist don't make no sense to me
