A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Simplicius. Much as Noble Ire and Wyrm may have been nominated for good cause, my vote is not for them this time.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

Simplicius.
Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963

Noble Ire, I've enjoyed his well reasoned arguments and the clarity of expression he brings.

After consideration of the examples put forth for each of the nominees, I'm going to vote Simplicus this month.

Okay, my fellow honorable Senators, I'm bumping this to make sure everyone's seen it. We've got 14 votes -- IIRC, we need ten more to get quorum. If we don't hit quorum by this coming Friday noon, I'm going to send out PMs.

Simplicus.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

All right, time to put an end to this nomination proceeding. The previous post in this thread is from nearly a month ago and Simplicius has gotten 17 of the 22 votes cast so far.
Seems good enough to me, but I do not have the power to do anything about it.

Is there a reason we're still waiting on this? I realize we're a few votes short, but I doubt that their participation will sway the decision any faster and its been sitting for close on to a month now. I can't really see any further reason putting this off. (not that we have to put up NEW elections, but I think we ought to let the poor guy in finally for his beer and chicks.)
*sigh* I promised to send PMs out two months ago, and then put it off. Time to get on that.
I have counted eleven people who have posted in the thread saying they've voted (including myself); I have no way of determining who the other eleven are among the Senate and moderating staff, so I'm going to PM everyone in the Senate and Moderators usergroups who has not posted in this thread. I'm sorry about the extra clutter, for those of you who've voted, but I see no other way of making sure I reach everyone.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job.

This time, my vote goes to Simplicus. However, I will not object to seeing Noble Ire and Wyrm up for consideration again and have little doubt that they will both eventually join this body.

Voted; let the chips fall as they may.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
