I am really shocked (and feeling a bit sick as well, for other reasons, so I am even more dizzy with this).

I always pictured him as a girl. I remember having reasons to, idk.

So it was not a typo. x.x

I also assume male unless I know otherwise, for all I know, I'm wrong.

I prefer to treat everyone as female until proven otherwise, so they know how it feels when they wrongly use male pronouns for me.

Sometimes it's plurally confusing... but eh I take the political correctness.

Perhaps it's my super inflated ego... but I expected some more nominations... but I guess seeing what came in my stead... I don't deserve them.

I always just refer to people using "he/she/they" unless I otherwise know their gender.

Not for me, because the word "you" isn't plurally confusing.

We're fascinated by the enigma of Kefka.

It's like the posting equivalent to Richard Hidalgo who had produced seasons with 44 and 28 home runs with batting averages over .300 with other seasons far worse with .227 the year before the 44 home run season and to either side of the 28 home run season he had 15 and 25 although with batting averages around .230 to .240 which are far from the .309 batting average of 2003.

Well, Hidalgo's production in 2000 and 2003 was quite crazy looking back at the other seasons in his career. Maybe Kefka is much the same as an enigma.

I don't assume male. It's a crappy thing to do, particularly in an environment where by their own declaration most people are male.

It's crappy, because it requires anyone who objects to explicitly state their sex/gender. People should be free to do that, but they shouldn't be required to do it, to correct someone else's assumptions. It's better the assumption isn't made in the first place!

You'd get some from me too, if I could nominate ten posters for Excellence in Debate.

That award will go to a poster who clearly win debates when they engage. It's the clearly-winning thing which gets the recognition. And maybe that's wrong, because there are dozens of posters who debate well on a range of subjects, debate even when their interlocutor is getting down in the gutter (or under the table), and steer a middle course between avoiding all conflict, and relishing conflict.

You just keep doing that, award or not.

I've always been dubious about that award. Aren't outright negative awards banned? (Eg, "worst poster")

Insanity isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Yes, that's my point. Awards like Excellence in Debating may have slightly different meanings to different people without that being a problem, but a hugely ambiguous "award" isn't a good thing. If it's meant as a criticism by even some of the nominators, but is taken as reward (picking up the badge and wearing it with pride) then it's a perverse incentive to post in ways others especially don't respect.

I tend to be overly critical of anything which is posted in an OP though. Really I like this thread each time it comes around.
