Top Jedi,
just coming back from Louisiana where we found nothing but damage. Currently in Butte Montana about 150 miles from home. I had mentioned to you that we were going in Oct. Those folks down there need social skills as well as hurricane repair. Joe
Too bad you already had a RAV. I would recommend you for such based on your Hurricane Ike articles alone. Thanks for being here.
— oldfogey
You've just been tagged. Now spill the beans! Unless, of course, you don't want to.
— kevinb66
Interesting style and approach. Its telling that positive comments from a wide spectrum of views.
— Catch22
TJ! I miss your insightful, provocative articles and comments! Come back to us!
— Miss Dev
Topjedi, I really appreciate your thought-provocking articles, and the ability you have to disagree politely. You're setting an example for many of us.
Cheers.
We can never get enough articles from TopJedi ;)
— Ilyanep
On my watch list from beta days, TopJedi never ceases to provide an excellent combination of thought provoking articles and interesting seeds. A all-rounder who excels all round.
It's kind of cool cause TopJedi has yoda and I have a fox with a lightsabre.
Except for the fact that we'd be battling each other :D
— Ilyanep
TopJedi is so well balanced in his writing and his commentary that one has to look very carefully in order to divine his politics. His polite nature, ability to be non-confrontational, along with his skill of acknowledging the validity of another person's argument Truly make him a "Jedi" master. If he had not chosen to give himself his handle, it surly would have been awarded to him by the community.
You should get the last notch in your Vinacity after giving up your subdomain. That was a noble thing.
You rock, TJ!
Stop it with your Jedi mind tricks! I can't stop writing and seeding conservative stories. I'm a liberal at heart and you won't let me be who I am!
— kevinb66
I can't let your comment column continue without credit for your exemplary social conscience, TopJedi. The Vine Contributors suggestion and your own outstanding compassion are most inspiring!
— Djehuty
TopJedi was one of our first contributing members. I cannot believe how productive he has been over the months. Seeding like a madman in the beginning and now putting forth article after article that find their way into my clippings.
It's rare to find such a balance in a single contributor: clarity of thought, a keen ability to express himself, and as Brad mentioned, a sense of responsibility and courtesy when addressing others.
Here I see commendations from across the political spectrum, by many of our top contributors. The reason: respect.
TopJedi is a high-order truthseeker, using the power of the force to cut to the heart of a variety of issues. His ability to do battle is formidable, yet he remains courteous and respectful even when slicing your argument to pieces. His point of view embodies true conservatism. If you don't follow TopJedi's postings, you're missing out on a very important point of view.
I cannot believe that my watchlist existed for so long lacking TopJedi's name. Fear not, for the situation has been remedied and I have been enjoying TopJedi's column for some time now. Some of the best and most original work on Newsvine can be found right here.
Whether it's a great new article, or a wise comment. TopJedi continues to out do himself at every turn. Not a Jedi to reckon with.
Always illuminating, TopJedi, and sometimes completely stunning!
— Djehuty
Indeed. The Force is strong with this one.
Thank you for your kind comment.
I love your writing style and I think that your articles are very well researched and presented. I hope you keep on writing those great articles (and maybe one day I can get to writing some of my own :P).
— Ilyanep
Jedi, your kung fu is very good!
Fair, balanced, and unafraid!
Everyone can take a page from TopJedi's playbook.
