Magistrate Appreciation Thread
There are so many kind, courteous people here, but I have to just say that The Magistrate is someone who has been so kind to everyone for years and I've never had the common sense to tell him (I am assuming it's a 'him') how much I appreciate his eloquence, civility and intelligence.
He reminds me of my favorite professors. He is patient, knowledgeable, forgiving and kind.
An awesome person here at DU. The Magistrate is another reason it's so gratifying to have found a website like DU.
There's a lot of ass-kissing, including by the lonestarnut primitive, the drunken sot the American Nana primitive, and Doug's ex-wife, but never mind.

13. A day with a Magistrate posting is always the best.
I enjoy his writing and his thought process.

40. A veritable bastion
Most pleasant and dependably more-or-less on the right side of things.
Sorta bulwarky at times, too...

44. I don't know if he is or not, but I hope he's a judge in real life.
His posts are always well thought-out, lucid and, on occasion, wickedly funny!

53. The Magistrate is who I want to be when I grow up.
One could make a book of civility and knowledge from his collected posts.

61. He IS the magistrate. If he isn't one, he should be.
Even without the "sirs" and "ma'ams" his responses are immediately recognizable for the qualities you stated, eloquence, civility, intelligence, patience, and knowledge. I'll lump forgiving and kind in with civility.
His words are always the words of an intelligent grown-up who thinks before he speaks.

62. A kind, decent, thoughtful fellow
Yes, I am a big fan of his. We could all learn from his wonderful manners.

With comments like those, you'd think that The Magistrate was franksolich's sock. :-)

I tend to think of him as an authoritarian dick, who clothes his snottiness in archaic phrasing to get away without being called on it and for a certain smugness factor.

I consider The Magistrate the Bizarro World franksolich. An inferior quality opposite.

Actually, my hypothesis is reasonable. If franksolich were to infiltrate the DUmp with a sock-puppet, posting crazy, lunatic, leftist drivel, I still think that he would post his crazy, lunatic, leftist drivel as eloquently and politely as he does with his normal stuff here. It's just who franksolich is. :-)

The Magistrate is a blowhard who writes lengthy screeds explaining something when one could just as easily do it in 1/10th of the words he uses and still say it better. But, he uses a vocabulary that he has to reference either from a book or on-line, and in turn the DUmmies have to reference his posts to see what he was saying, and so they believe him to be brilliant.
In reality, he's the type that when you meet them in the business world, you're trying to stay awake while they're talking because they're boring you to tears, and the only thing you can think about is "You're an idiot. Get to the point, will ya?"

I have heard that conjecture before, actually. I never bought it, myself. I just think there are some vague stylistic similarities. it just proves that it is possible to be somewhat polite, and still be a barking moonbat. :-)

Not everyone loves The Mag as can be observed on any site where TS'd primitives gather. Most hold him personally responsible for their banning when he probably only concurred with the suggestion of a banning.
Wonder what prompted this love thread?

Yes.
