2012 - Who is the most popular poster of such?

by Petrichor Mon Nov 12, 2012 3:36 pm

Considering there are 23 of us reading this, and about 20 of us posting, I felt the imperative need to quantify the popularity of posters. Popularity, here, means compelling posts. Whose posts do you compulsively read most, whether you like or dislike, or plain hate? Please participate in the poll attached and vote for your candidate. Write-in's are fine if I have omitted someone.

1. If you want to write-in, pls. post a reply to this thread

Still with the psycho-analyzing after carefully excluding yourself?

by Petrichor Mon Nov 12, 2012 3:52 pm

No, HA...there was only space for 10 choices. There are many other deserving candidates who may be write-in's. Smile

I wish I could vote more for Munmun and Germ-Aya-Re.

She spent 12-to-1 against her opponent. There is a quantitative model out there somewhere that shows a threshold factor beyond which $ can buy you votes - the moneybags (Adelson etc.) would be very interested in such a model for '16 to see if it makes sense to outrun the dems by that factor. I hope someone comes out with a paper that makes it impractical/prohibitive to reach that factor.

Saar, I must express my extreme dissatisfaction with your tendency to indiscriminately target English words for "loose interpretations". First you take protein-rich chikkis (also supposed to contain iron) and kaju katlis and slanderously label them junk food. Then you take the word "popular" and use it to mean something else altogether. If popular = most compelling, then James Holmes, the Aurora gun man would be President.

Standards of semantic definition in the scientific community seem to be slipping these days. Abrahmanyam!

I was thinking it'd be a close tie between Nats and Hoozay, with the latter slightly ahead thanks to his most recent disclosures of offline activity.

I'd also throw Vee Unkil in the final shortlist, but however compelling the spectacle of a Lithe-Once-Virile-Unkil's dyspeptic shenanigans, he hardly qualifies for "popular".

PS: I also disqualify Admin - all those votes he's getting are from various chatbots trying to butter him up to avoid deletion of their 100,000+ chat accounts.

I decided not to repeat my past mistake and voted for myself.

When I was in grade 8, the class was supposed to elect the leader either me or another girl. The teacher barred the two of us from voting. Since the class vote was a tie we both were allowed to vote...again Tie????

Naww... I thought it would not be appropriate to vote for myself and voted for the girl. Of course, the (selfish) girl won.

After may years came across her and she is (one of) my closest pal... so looks like my Dhrushti was powerful even then... Wink

>>>>Hoozay has outsmarted Marty (in keeping with the folksiness required of our candidates, I have taken the liberty of making Maratadi more boy-next-door-ish). However, the dynamic employed here - any publicity is good publicity- could backfire. It has a certain shelf-life. My money is on Nats to convert this into a positive for herself. Marty got sold down the river, but it happens when you are too out with your views. Nats is almost reaganesque in evoking that 'feel good' nostalgia, what with the homespun recaps of her storied childhood etc etc. It was always a run-up to this election. I always had a hunch about this Smile

Tomorrow's episode- Demands for Hoozay's tax returns and Nats' birth cert.. hahaha

were you interacting on CH with QueenBee? If yes, and if you wish to say hi to her, you will find her on http://sulekha.forumotion.com

i am only acting as a facilitator. I was around when churi was posting on sulekha, and i am fairly sure that she must have interacted with QB. By the way this was several years before you arrived on the site.

Yeah, what the heck! I thought it's the dems who do that in real life. Can't believe the voter fraud thing went on in SuCh too. I seek justice. My missing vote needs to be counted too. So nats' actual votes=final tally of her votes + 1....nah, make it +1+x (x=all my alternate ids, if i had any Razz

)

I remember her. Our interests didn't really intersect.
