As far as I can remember, only Wounded King sometimes managed to raise the debate to a higher level, when I debated him, to the point where I had to ask fundamental questions such as when is an organism reproduced, at birth, or at adulthood? How to warrant describing an organism in terms of reproduction, when the organism in fact may have no chance of reproducing at all? Is describing organisms in terms of the chance of reproduction basicly the same sort of thing as describing the chance of a tree being struck by lightening?
For the rest of it I respect most all evolutionists here equally as much as the evolutionary greats such as Dawkins, Gould, or Darwin. I can see no substantial difference in the quality of original theorizing evolutionists on here sometimes engage in, compared to that of the most influential evolutionists in their most influential works. That's like the spice girls / backstreet boys though, anyone can do it.
