[Lady Sidhe]

First and foremost,

Smoothmoniker: because the posts are always extremely lucid, well-thought-out (IMHO), and make a lot of sense, even if I don't agree. There's something to be said for diplomacy, especially here.

then, just to make it egalitarian,

Catwoman: because, like me, she refuses to back down from her opinions. She seems to have thought out her reasons for them, and while I don't agree, I respect her steadfastness-- because I'm right there with her, albeit on the opposite side...

edit: ok, ok...upon further reflection, I have to add two more:

StaceyV, just because she's probably the most straight-up, direct, say-what-she-means person here, and she's funny as hell doing it

and Troubleshooter, because I live with him, and damned if I STILL don't know what he's going to come out with next...
