This forum is literally dying (don't know how many times I have said that). So I made this topic.
Mention the person you most admire (you could give reasons too). When I thought this over, a 1000 names popped up in my head. But then I realized that in most cases I didn't know the person well enough. Just their achievements & a few of their views. So choose a person you really know about & have high regards for.

Me.


What? I meet all the criteria!


Seriously, one of my physics tutors. He works for CERN on the ATLAS detector at the LHC, and is the best teacher I've ever encountered. His ability to make baffling concepts become perfectly clear is truly impressive.

WOW!!!
Lucky you! Did I mention that before? Hope I had a teacher like that.

I say-Jawaharlal Nehru.

Edit-Dammit. Where are the others? I don't want this forum to die.
BTW Sent, you are the most you most admire (asking very seriously)? I have waaayyyyy too many flaws to say that.

It's a bit early for the Americans to show up, that's why it's quiet.

No, not really.

I've never really thought about this. Would it be cheesy to say my father? If not him, Stroud!

E.g. David Cat.

Is that an insult...?

Nope. Just an example.

I was being sarcastic.

I really admire Stroud though. Very few writers have his talent.

He's unappreciated.

Agree. Can't believe Paolini has more fans than he does. So many have heard of Eragon but so few have heard of BT.
How many friends do you have who read Bartimaeus? I have around 10.

Aside from bartiforums... about three...

I expected more. There are so many Canadians here. Either Canada/America/England have the maximum members.

Um, aside from the people here, no one except a girl I was friends with in Grade 6, but I haven't talked to her since she moved.

And I thought 10 was a very small number...

Absolutely none.

No, ten is pretty good.

I could only get two people to look at the book. And neither had really liked it. Good things there was bartiforums for me to be able to analyse and discuss the more fine and subtle aspects of the book. (One example being 'so Jane likes John? Like, like like him? Oh well, it's smexy anyways.' )
