say a big hitter??

The stamina and bloody mindedness to go on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on without once respecting other people or facts.

Quantity rather than quality seems to be the key ingredient of a "big hitter" so I'd say a non too exacting job and a lack of real friends.

Wiki and an unassailable belief that everything written there-in is fact.

cynic-al - there's plenty of us having a rubbish time but the important thing is to actually be comfortable with yourself. We're not in a perfect world, not even the 'big hitters' are but do not judge yourself too harshly.

I think it is vital to genuinely believe that internet forums are in some way important, and that winning an argument on one will actually affect the course of history.

The belief that being a "big hitter" on an internet forum actually matters.

al - women's intuition, can't help it! Who came up with the term 'big hitter' anyway?

Well sorry but on this occasion your WI needs re calibration!

I think I brought the term to the forum.

It amuses me that anyone might take it seriously or think that I do.

Personal emnity with another "big hitter". Thus they only come in pairs.

Would it be rude to draw attention to the number of times this is mentioned?
Who are you trying to convince?

ooh, ooh, Mr. Peevley!

My very first day here was to post a thread that was deleted so quickly I thought I'd imagined doing so. I was already halfway through dialling a psychotherapist when my email pinged informing me my thread had been 'done' a month earlier, was distasteful and stuff like that wasn't welcome here.

I don't consider myself a hitter of any sort so your assessment process may be slightly flawed...
