...effectively?

[Razgovory]

Platonic ideal?  Monkeybutt or Berkut.  Both smart and funny guys, but their status as the exemplar depends entirely on whether you think Languish is or ideally ought to be kind of a belligerent mellow or a bit higher strung and fuller of generalized hate.

Edit: Actually, split the difference, and call it "Vinraith."

Vinny is too think-skinned - otherwise, he would be a great nominee. Lacking an ability to get in an argument without going nuclear and stomping from the room isn't going to work on Languish.

I am much too disliked by the lefty fringe/crazies though. Need someone who is moderate, opinionated, but not objectionable, but still willing to get in and mix it up occasionally.

For a guy who doesn't get all tribal it's always the leftys that are after you.

obviously not, as his 100% conviction rate attests.

LOL, you don't pay much attention do you?

I should think someone in his line of work finds it pretty easy to make his point in every day life

I'm a lefty fringe crazy and I like you.

Good memory, gamer, touch of Asperger's, not used to being effectively challenged in an argument   and into bowel movements.

I stick by my choices then.

[jimmy olsen]

I always thought a Platonic ideal was an abstract version of what a thing *is* and not what it tries to be. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, the other allusion(the "everyman") should clearly rule out Berkut in this context.

Berkut is the face of the American Dream come true.

The American dream does not involve being a bitter cuckold who hates non-white and the poor.

I miss something?

Valmy?

Von Moltke is kind of a bridge between a lot of different types of posters. Malthus is a good choice too.

I find that I am very good at making my point.  What I am not always good at is getting other people to adopt my point as their own. 

[MadImmortalMan]

I think it's obvious. We are all Yi.

If you caught the fact that Raz is an asshole, you missed nothing.

If I had to say who personifies the Platonic Ideal of the Languish poster, I would say Habsburg. He is funny, informative, impossible to lay a glove on, and devoid of enemies.

We are just all pretty far from that ideal.

[Berkut]

I think Raz is claiming to have had sex with my wife.

Well, at least he'd be getting out of the house.

He is my enemy, namely for his homocentricity when it comes to movies.

Imbecile. He's had plenty of... oh OK.
