Let's start a new thread with recommendations for our friend Mr Siddiqui. He can't go through life without pizazz. We who care about him, should help him remedy this defect and improve his pizazz rating.

I suggest he change his name to "Iron" Siddiqui. That's a name that oozes chutzpah.

I personally think Giancarlo is a master debater.

(SOMEONE had to make the joke.)

Yes, someone had to, and already did, Guynemer.

Oh, and another nomination:

Not this joke.

He's a master debater (say it quickly).

[Guynemer]

Well, someone had to make the joke again, then.

Uncle: actually, no I can't. I don't think that there are 3 people who are the best. I think there are a lot of great debaters.

BC: do you mean Boris, and Michael are people that can't change their opinions no matter what?

I was meaning more that MtG doesn't stick around in a debates unless they are with people who are willing to make valid points, or want to listen to listen to counterpoints.

Poly debates are notorius for bald assertions, straw men, non sequitars and a host of other stupidities and fallacies that many people will not even bother attempting to address them. In MtG's case he doesn't address them, he often just fires and forgets with 'smart posts', and he's never to be seen in the 'debate' again.

oh, god, not the mastrubator joke. I hope Guynemer didn't use it.

[alva]

lva, that's not necessarily a bad point. He, unlike many other, is able to concede defeat, and has what a great debater is all about, intellectual integrity.

That should improve his standing. People that sacrifice honesty to win don't contribute to the community.

I wasn't implying it was/is a bad quality to have, but we are talking about being the best debater, not the greatest human beeing.
If that were the case then - certainly on Poly' - he would definately win that competition.

You think that's funny? There's a Massey University in New Zealand, and I believe they do have a debating society.

You gotta feel sorry for young men with the surname Bates.

Yes, I can hear the buzz around the greatest human beeing.
