    Double Standard?

    Hey, I just realized the mod has the authority to add more candidates to the poll and what a shame they have left out KDM even by the number of requests and added Christian because of their own liking!?

    Care to explain?? :mad:

    There is now a Field for "Other Player" this can be used for any players not mentioned specifically.

    Sorry but you did not answered my question. Frankly, I do feel offended since you didn't take me and others suggestion seriously. Adding "other player" is not enough.

    3 out of 4 pairs of the past Mens double Olympic Gold medalist are on the list except Kim. Everyone should have their right to nominate whether it is agreed by the mods personally or not. Not to mention Kim has exceptional achievement(OG + WC + AE*2 + ABC) during his MD career and I think my demand is fair.

    Maybe you can better explain why you are adding Christian Hadinata while singled out KDM. :mad:

    I am sorry you feel offended, I did mention KDM myself as one of the best players. Unforunately I/We cannot add any more names onto the poll, since 12 options is the maximum.

    On an additional note, the OP had originally asked for the Best Frontman today and so it has already morphed into more than it had originally.

    Relax, it is only a simple poll.

    How about changing 'other player' to KDM to make the poll simpler?'Other player' has no meaning since the vote is 0 but KDM will definitely have 1 vote so it should have priority? Besides subtly spreading some happiness...

    OK. But I already dropped LYB from the poll to "other" since he had no votes.

    Hopefully no LYB fans are upset!:D

    I think we should let history decide who's the best. Best frontmen for tomorrow should always be blank. As much as I respect Tony G and indeed he's my hero and role model, Tony is no longer at the pinnacle of his game. He could still give the young guns a run for their money, but can he dominate the game as he did before?

    I don't think anyone should hogged the future title as well. We should give credit for those who challenge to be the best.

    Yes, absolutely..

    (i was playing with words there);)...what i meant was, Tony will still be regarded as one of the best, if not arguably, the best in this category in the future (considering he's in the mix with the past great doubles players)..:cool:

    i went with Kim Dong Moon --> my fav player of all time

    but having said that i also think, gunawan, and sigit are pretty good overall

    as for more recent players, i think setiawan, KKK, Lee yong dae are all destined to become net-ownage-players
