Honestly, if someone feels left out that they weren't mentioned on the "best" list on a photography message board, they should reevaluate their priorities. I'm guessing those listed as best (Nikonian, Alaskan, etc..) wouldn't have been offended if they weren't mentioned specifically because they care about their photography, and not about being popular on the site..
I do thank everyone for their responses though..
I know when I said feelings would be hurt it wasn't meant that someone NOT named would have their feelings hurt but more towards what I have seen happen before when threads like this happen.
one person says "Joe 1" is a great photographer then another poster comes along and says something like "Joe 1? really I think Joe 2 is better, Joe 1 has issues with w/b (or whatever)" then a battle starts and people start picking sides and all the poop hits the fan.
