Preferably not in the RIP group and not banned, otherwise, you decide who you think is worthy of the title of Poster of the Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I nominate, GeriatricKid. Very intelligent member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credo Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I also nominate NeverSure. I often disagree with him, but he is well informed and articulates his positions very well. Once in a while, I get the feeling he might have sat on a cactus, but most of the time he's pretty even tempered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipi Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I nominate Transam because he is the only one I can remember who isn't on the RIP or banned list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I think there should be categories, humorous poster of the year, negative poster of the year, most informative etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villagefarang Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Considering modern trends, I would expect this years winner to be the most obnoxious, boastful, bigoted, Thai hater in our ranks. Civility and thoughtful content is clearly out of favor in this present environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathmule Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 JSixpack.
