Who Are My Favorite PFers and Why?

  • Thread starter LightbulbSun
  • Start date
In summary, my favorite PFers are Russ Watters, Astronuc, Moonbear, Turbo, and Jason Rox. Each of them has something special that I appreciate. Russ Watters is my favorite because he is a great source of information, and he also has a positive outlook on life. Astronuc is my favorite because he is a great source of information, and he also has a humble and honest personality. Moonbear is my favorite because she has a lot of knowledge about women, and her commentary is insightful. Turbo is my favorite because he is really informative, and his content is always interesting. Jason Rox is my favorite because he has some rational perspectives on relationships, and I wish he would write a book about it. Lastly, I love

I probably shouldn't post in this thread, and I hope people won't take this the wrong way. I don't have any favorites here. But I do appreciate all the help I get in the homework help section and this is a good time to thank everyone who contributes there. They are the reason I continue to read and post to PF.

List your favorite PFers and state a reason why they're your favorite.

1. Russ Watters: The guy knows his stuff and he runs a good website.
2. Astronuc: I like his positive outlooks on life. I also enjoy his humility and honesty.
3. Moonbear: I like reading her commentary on women. I've learned a lot about some of the subtle stuff.

4. Turbo: Two words: HOT STUFF!
5. Jason Rox: He has some rational perspectives on the nature of relationships. I wish he'd write a book about it.

Yeah, I enjoy Moonbear's post. I'll even read her long posts!

Didn't mathwonk win the Funniest PF Member Award a couple of years ago?

Mathwonk would never win the Funniest PFer since his humor is very subtle. But if you get it, he is very funny in a dry way. He is also very rational... Sorry Russ, but Mathwonk is my favorite I decided. You are second.

1. LightbulbSun : because I wonder how many PFers it takes to change one.
What?! Haha.
What I meant to say was manifold : by quoting only your name, since you opened the discussion, I want to suggest that there is no way to answer it from my point of view because it is borderline-inappropriate. I also make a poor joke, but it does bear meaning that all the great folks around indeed have an amazing positive influence on who I am :smile:

Honestly, that was my first idea - it will be much easier to tell whom I dislike. I even thought about starting a twin thread :wink:

Yes, it would be a shorter list and it's more fun! Who knows perhaps we even get to like someof our unfavorites through that thread!

Very good question, the best you have asked so far.

Let me explain...This is a dumb thread because -->

1) what's the point in knowing ones favourite pfer ? Really, c'mon...
2) you never defined which criteria we should use to define "favourite"
3) after having defined those criteria, you should have weighted each and every one of them
4) you should explain how you weighted those and ask everybody's approval
5) you are forcing people to make biased choices based upon ... yeah, upon what ?
6) you never explained WHY you want to know this, to what purpose ?

This is a dumb thread, mainly because of reasons 2, 3.

ciao

Criteria for liking/disliking someone are always subjective, not objective. Trying to make them objective is... well, dumb?

What's the point of 95% of the threads in general discussion? Your point?

2) you never defined which criteria we should use to define "favourite"
3) after having defined those criteria, you should have weighted each and every one of them

These are subjective.

4) you should explain how you weighted those and ask everybody's approval

Again, subjective.

5) you are forcing people to make biased choices based upon ... yeah, upon what ?

I'm not forcing people to do anything.

6) you never explained WHY you want to know this, to what purpose ?

This is a dumb thread, mainly because of reasons 2, 3.

There is no purpose to it just like 95% of the general discussion threads. It's just for conversation and appreciation.
