Ok, I've never participated in any of the "Post of the Month" topics or anything like that, but what the heck, I'll join in the fun on this one. Providing, of course, that nobody minds.
I think I misunderstood at first. I thought we were nominating a poster in each category, but it's just one poster based on how we score them, right? Ok then, in that case I would say *drumroll*...
Ned.
1. Objectivity/Open-mindedness -- 10
Listens to everyone and doesn't dismiss things out of hand.
2. Debating skills -- 9
Perhaps he doesn't have quite the finesse or cold, hard logic of someone like Rrhain (personally, I'm convinced the guy is half Vulcan ), but he's still very good.
3. Behaviour/attitude towards other posters -- 10+
No contest whatsoever. Ned's attitude speaks for itself.
4. Contributions to EvC -- 10
It just wouldn't be EvC without our Neddy.
5. Knowledge and effort -- 9
Again, Ned's knowledge base may not be quite as specialized or detailed as some of the others here, but it's pretty damn good for someone who, to use his own words, "doesn't really know anything." I certainly hope that, one day, I know as "little" as he does.

No problem, Mike! Glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for the clarification.
Ned is one of my personal champs here at EvC. I have others, which I like for different reasons. For example, when I initially thought we were to nominate a poster in each category, I was going to nominate Rrhain in the "Debating skills" category.
But if I have to whittle it all down to one person (which is very hard, I must say ), Ned would be my overall choice. I quite admire him, for numerous reasons. He is very much how I would hope to see myself one day.
Anyway, I ramble. I don't know what to count the 10+ as (and in my opinion, Ned is well and truly off the scale, in that category, anyway), so we'll just tally it as a 10. That brings Ned's total overall score to 48/50.
