Since I don't bother playing cyber-spy kid and don't go around tracking IPs and such - I really couldn't care less.

Postmodern Trendoid II leaves a zero impression.....

On Yahoo I used to run the Troll of the Year Awards, the Trolleys, in conjunction with the Golden Canards (for misleading information) and the Face-Palm D'Or (gold, silver and bronze and honourable mention) awards monthly, for the most ludicrous comment.

Also ran a Presidential election to see if a man or woman would win on popular vote there - a woman won.

Oh - the Honorary or Token Gay Guy got very upset when I wouldn't allow him to stand for the Best Female Contributor of The Year......

Longy is always consistent

consistently hypocritical .... everything he ever accused Gillard and Rudd of doing wrong he is now defending Abbott for doing. Every yard stick he set for labor he has reset for the libs, he hasn't maintanined a single consistent position on anything ...

the only thing longy has been consistant at is his level of hypocrisy

.. and consistently posting unsupported figures..... that's what the Canards are about..... posting something with no foundation and using it as a platform to destroy your opponent's argument - when such a thing is impossible other than by pure rhetoric and bullying.......

Grigor, on the other hand, loves to play Devil's advocate or whatever and force people to support thoughts and ideas.....

Just look at climate science. No, my nomination is for Pecker as he hasn't a discernable opinion on anything. Pecker just posts whatever he feels will offend the most white Australians.

Have to put it to the vote. The way I ran them - abstaining myself from voting, BTW - was to call for public nominations - the most nominated got a run-on, and then votes were called for the Bottom Gun in each category. Candidates were listed in alphabetical order, and a totally fair vote was taken.

Honourable Mention:

Bronze Face-Palm:

Silver Face-Palm:

Face-Palm D'Or:-

etc... name your category.

Those aren't 'sockies' - those are simply a maturing of name so as to incorporate current issues.....

Socks are substitute accounts etc..... I always retain the same account but occasionally change the name to suit putting the piste into a current issue....

You are young, Grasshopper.. meditate on this....

Je suis The Grappler Hebdo...... just jumping on a bandwagon there... could be a dollar in it... might attract a Mad Musso....

No idea WTS 'Hebdo' means.....
