I am glad to see Mike as high as he is here. I thought he'd get overlooked for some reason.
I would also give Clearin more credit. He may not fuck with battle powers, but I rarely look at a post of his and don't think "this guy's logic is absolutely solid," even if I disagreed with it. I think people would take more notice if he posted more these days and had a more aggressive approach (not saying that I recommend the latter approach at all, do whatever you want, it just seems to help people stand out more).
Don't be hatin on Lightsworn. He's, like, totally wrong, but he's good. :^)
