Xieff, for the sake of Churchill's quote. I am afraid the thread I link will soon get deleted, though.

A fanatic is one who cannot change his mind and will not change the subject. - W. Churchill

Um... I don't think Xieff posted in this thread? Or is GambitKing the same person as Xieff?

Sry Ziryab, that first question mark should be a period.

What ? He is the OP, and GambitKing did not post in that one...

Oic... I assumed that your link was to the Winston Chruchill quote, and you were talking about this thread. Guess I need to start actually clicking on links before assuming what the link is to.

So just to clarify, you're nominating Xieff, right?

I don't think the thread will get deleted. Locked, maybe, but from my experience chess.com ususally doesn't delete threads like that one.

Avatar of Ziryab

Always click the links.

What ? Is there a limit to the number of nominations one can make ?

If Xieff ever makes his argument, it will be a clear and direct violation of the rules in the sticky post. Enforcement has been lax, however, as Kohai is overworked.

I had to play dirty pool to win this tournament here by creating that "Chess terms that I Hate" thread.  If THAT won't do it, then I truly give up.

Competing with SebLeb is tough.

True, maybe 2nd place is what everyone's going for - 1st has already been locked up.  :(

This is a pretty hilarious thread overall, from start to finish.  http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/should-i-put-my-chess-set-into-production

You can see tempers slowly starting to flare about a third of the way in.  By the last several pages, people are at a boiling point.  Then the OP just disappeared.

My nomination for troll of the month goes to a man that put so much hard work and effort into making that thread great, "Adamstask".

Nomination accepted and added to the list.

I would also like to second the nomination of "TheArtofWar82" for his contributions to the "Breaking the 1500 Barrier" thread.  That way "TheArtofWar82" can go on the official ballot, per the first post.

TheArtofWar is already nominated forthat thread. On the final ballot all comments/threads that a particular member has been nomintaed for will be listed under that member.
