As a longtime contributor, I have absolutely no problem with considering Eliezer to be king of this place. Not saying that everyone here should accept this "king" concept without qualms, but once accepted, it does cut away a lot of the mind-killing political bullshit. Yay monarchy as long as it's benevolent!

I prefer "the Chuck Norris of thinking".

"Grand Poobah" and "Supreme Mugwump" work, but I've always gone by "Fearless Leader".

How about "Defender of the Non-Faith"?

We're all just guests in his cornfield.

Or to take an open source term, "Benevolent Dictator for Life".
