Although I'm sure your comment here was in jest, nominating females for senate positions just for the sake of gender equality isn't something that I think we should be doing - no offense to Mrs. K, mind. Gender shouldn't be a criterion for the Senate.The Yosemite Bear wrote:we need more estrogen....

I wish I could get some one to do my homework. Not to drop a dime, but the dude I have in mind (who I consider more than capable as senator) I'm having problems shitting out examples.Mad wrote:So, any links to examples of the nominees' debating skills? Or is everyone expected to do his or her own homework this time?
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

I already nominated him. You can second him.Durandal wrote:I nominate Chuck (Sonnenburg).
Edit: Anyhow, Sonnenburg's a long-time ASVS debator, maybe one of the ASVSers can cover his highlights (maybe he's on Dalton's site.. I'm pretty sure he is anyhow.)
He's got his own website here, I believe: link - tons of great stuff I've found... very neat.
There's also the fact of this. Anyoen who can make Voyager entertaining has to be woth Senatorial membership

OK, Surlethe and Kamakazie Sith both have their histories posted in the other nominations thread. As far as I'm concerned, Surlethe hasn't been officially seconded, but Cmdrwilkens' double nomination counts as a second. Kamakazie Sith has been seconded, but Bear did it after nominating someone.
I can't comment on Chuck because of a conflict of interest, but I think his posting history here will speak for itself. He's also been seconded.
IP and Mrs Kendall have not been seconded yet. Bear, you've both nominated a person and seconded a person in this thread. You can only do one.

An "aye" for Chuck!
