Annointing New Top Poster On SMP

[David Sklansky]

He has very few posts, but I can't recall one incorrect one. ChrisV has stumbled a few times. New king is TomCowley.

Anointing has its basis in religious ritual; I think it is something to be avoided. And not just for 'religious ritual' reasons.

Tom may be the new king but has he read and understood the Analects of Confucius?

Is he a Brownshirt or aspiring SS member of the Sklansky Youth?

Wrong on both counts - He is a Blackshirt

Good thing I take this forum no more seriously than a P.G. Wodehouse story.

I hope that it's in part for this gem in Sports where he asks a question, get an answer he doesn't like and then berates everyone ho answered his question "wrong".

The name Cowley doesn't sound Italian to me.

Pretty daring, David, to anoint a poster who doesn’t frequent the “God” threads. You know the God threads are your bread and butter for number of hits.

(Actually, it might be a wise idea - build up your numbers via the drier math threads. God stuff sells itself, like the National Enquirer.)

I berated people who, despite clarification, insisted on answering a question I wasn't asking. Anyway, I offered to prop bet the people involved any amount they wanted laying 11:10 (if the non-LT side scored more, they got paid 11:10), money held by a trusted 3rd party, and they wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Clarified that situation pretty fast, since if they believed the trade was even neutral for the team, they would have jumped on the free money. If I'd simply made a poll in SE for that prop bet, I would have avoided all the idiocy. Stupid me for thinking people would understand the two questions were roughly equivalent and answer consistently.

As for this forum, um.. neat! I'm not quite sure what I specifically did to get anointed, since there are some consistently good posters who articulate intelligent views well, but I'll take it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
