Call for Comments: Platinum Screwball Categories

[jpholding]

In a little while it'll be time to work up Platinum Screwball Nominations and Awards for 2007. I'd like feedback on categories (old and new) and potential nominees.

Here are the categories:

Skeptic -- for all Skeptics, except I have an idea for two new categories:
John Loftus
John Loftus' Useful Idiots -- I feel that these two new additions are necessary simply because DJ and his crew make so many screwy statements that other Skeptics would never get a chance to win otherwise. They need their own category, and DJ needs his own category.
Skeptic Website -- maybe the Zeitgeist movie should just take this without discussion?
TWeb veteran
Famous Skeptic
Famous Christian -- I may collapse these two back into their more general categories if insufficient nominees are available.
Christian
Non-Christian Theist
Christian website
TWeb noob -- I have an idea that no one can take this one from stevec.
At large: Individual and Wesbite -- may also fold this one over if there are no good nominees.

And there are the email categories: Christian, At Large, Skeptic

If you like, use this thread to nominate entries from 2007 to be considered for a Platinum. You can do this through the end of January. Now that we can have up to 12 options for voting here it is just as well to get an early start and test out this procedure.

Jimbo already won Platinum last year.

Lesse...member's been to quiet for Platinum this year...maybe Sev? Wyzaard?

And Tweb noob: I dunno, Boris B gives steve a run for his money...

I'm thinking Skeptic website, except I am not sure the moviemakers are Skeptics as opposed to something like New Agers (which would make them "at large").


Raphael:

jimbo for Skeptic raises a question: Should the same person be allowed to win two years in a row?


Pilgrim:

Wyz would fit into Skeptic. Who is Jackie?

Jackie: http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...d.php?t=104785

I think someone should be able to win two years in a row, if they've deserved it. Personally I think that Jimbo does deserve it, but Sunflash is right, Wyzaard is a real contender

You mean you want JPH add a Tweb Platinum Jackass award? one tweb veteran(wyzaard) one newbie(Jackie)?


Works for me.

[Philosophickle]

Wyzaard wins, in spite of his wonderful guide to dating/mating women.

[Problem Child]

I have a question. If a negative presupposes a positive, does it then follow that a positive presupposes a negative? If so, would this make Taoistic Philosophy true?

[RumTumTugger]

Pilgrim:

You'd have to add a Platinum Jackass award one tweb vet for wyzaard and one Tweb newbie for Jackie. it isn't so much the poor argumentation for their views but their attitude when they are Pwnd by their opponents.

OK. Christian category (or newbie) is what I needed to know.

Problem Child: The answer is 42.

[Meta Knight]

Hey Problem Child, Don't Panic.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

[Problem Child]

JP, sorry just couldn't find anywhere else where I could get this question answered, you're a hot spot.

[Meta Knight]

JP's not really the philosophy type. You'll likely have to look elsewhere.
