Not posted as much as usual.
Genuinely interested – does big hitter mean someone who posts a lot, or whose posts are controversial/weighty/shouty?
Bit of both – you need a high post count and to be able to argue a point to death- often badly.
Being heavily involved in closed threads also helps your score
It was never a serious point/name but referred to those on here who would argue endlessly on the same subject
For example Whoppit may be one on religious threads but not in general
I dont think it was ever meant to be an insult but nor was it exactly complimentary.
Not sure why the flaming is going on tbh – wannabee big hitters staking a claim 😉
