Right.
I'm just going to step in to the conversation here now

"And I thought we already had a few valid and dignified candidates... (chenliangchen, eekkelund, pichlo, abranson, mosen)" ?

I would guess by the omission of my name I do not fit your criteria of valid and dignified.

win7mac..
You may not approve of my style of writing,
and you may not like my sense of humour
Or my general nature to make light of either dry material (downright wrist-cutting-ly boring at times ..in fact...)
or my methods to defuse very tense and angry dialogues.

But push comes to shove..
Though I have been an official member here only a few years..
I have been here faaaar longer as a silent non-member.
I am no slouch nor have I just let others help or put in the time here.
I have done plenty to make this a better place and I have the track record here any can look up to prove to that.
I have nothing but the utmost respect, admiration and great fondness for everyone of my peers and friends here and that includes you too win7mac.

Endsormeans not valid or dignified enough for you?
At the moment I am mightily mightily pissed off.
If you PAID me to help with council right now...
If you set a briefcase full to the brim with money...
I'd freakin' set it on fire in front of you
you prig.

I am perpetually humbled whenever anyone has even considered me for nomination ...
really guys...

But not a one of you ever DARE nominate me again.

I have no desire to talk further on this topic
It will simply make me livid
I am so furious right now...
I have a great desire at the moment to destroy some irreplaceable carvings
