A vs. O

Let's all vote for "O" because we hate this guy and want to ostracize him from our fora even though we should be a nice group of interneters and welcome him with open arms."    Please don't take this too personal, let it be just a choice between the A and the O. I have never been part of any incrowd in my whole life and, even if I am to stay alive 'til I have passed the one hundred year-mark, I never will be. By the way, now that I'm writing this, the O is on the lead.

Sorry. I suppose I should have made it explicitly clear that everything I say on this thread should not be taken seriously. As manofmystery pointed out, this is about ridiculous comparisons and the whole thing should be read as tongue in cheek.

Awww, relax baby. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to put someone_else's mind at ease. I will fight for O until the bitter end.

Probably neutral. "O" can just as well be "O" as in O!

In Yorkshire, it's a definite ö.

"A" looks nothing like "a"- In both "goad" and "goat" (two unquestionably awesome words) the "O" comes before the "A," thus displaying it's dominance so that it may attract a suitable mate such as "k"- Cheerios- The Letter People version of "O" has something undoubtedly intelligent to say (hence the open mouth) while "A" just looks like a brat http://www.geocities.com/letterfolks/lp_stickers.jpg- Throw a line on the "O" and you get "Q," stretch it out and you get "0," put a belt around it and you get "8." That's versatility.

Excellent arguments there sir

I'd never enter a battle of wits due to my being unarmed; I will, however, state categorically that you are in fact incorrect, that "A" is the superior letter, then withdraw with an enigmatic smile on my face & leave you to ponder the reason I actually voted for "O"

God damn it, we need more A support. I mean, who is first in line? A! Who starred as the lead character in the classic arcade game "Asteroids!"? A! Why are you people on the losing side, here? Vote "A"for a progressive and peaceful future.

"A" not only has more stability, but it also has itself positioned and pointing to the sky indefinitely. Those who wish to slander poor "A" for his wayward and estranged illegitimate child "a" haven't put the issues that are actually important up front. These trendy fascists are polluting our gene pools and should be institutionalized and learned in the ways of "A".

"O" is too apt to roll down the hill, while "A" can shoot for the stars. Don't argue with progress. We forge "A" new path, not "O" new path. Some foolish pundits have erroneously stressed the comical notion that the lecherous "O" is more versatile than our good friend "A". They ignore basic principles. Why, flip "A" upside down and what do you have? A "V" with benefits! He can also be used to point in certain directions. Can "O" point? I think not. "A" can also be implemented as a ladder. Don't come to "o" with your ladder needs unless you want a deceased carpenter, or housewife, for you d"O" it y"O"urself communists. Tell me, do you see our good friend "A" in communism? No. But "O" is in there!

A is for America, and we can't have heartland folk/singer-songwriters without that. Without "A" Bob Dylan would never have become popular. People, look at the facts. "A" is just the better candidate.

You forgot one fatal flaw in your logic.

Ozzy was an absolutely terrible vocalist.

You got me, there, but...
Ian Gillian, or Ion Gillion?
