2. The Thick-Skinned Gang
Allow me to nominate theymos to be part of this gang. What other forum allows users to tag Admin and keep their tagging power? Theymos cares more about what he stands for than his personal reputation.
This is how I see it... Theymos is cool -- way beyond what any self acclaimed thick-skinner would be... He's potentially driven by his own "rules" -- "that the forum must be as free as possible"
That may not be the exact words he used to express it
