Yeah, and *everybody* remembers that you're an asshole. Is that fair?

Gosh, we should just put jp2 on the board by acclamation. Why
bother with the election?

I don't need a serious argument against your candidacy. All I need is the
opportunity to vote for an adequate number of other candidates to fill the
board seats with people I admire.

Yeah, Arbornet put you on the board because it ran out of other
volunteers.

Jamie...
You say you are trying to win. How exactly are you trying? Believe it or
not, I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I just stayed quiet until I had
formed my opinion. Trying to win an election includes winning people over.
One word.
Failure.

OK, a key issue is the Grexian founding tradition of governing by
consensus. Mr. Candidate, please explain how you fit into that
tradition.

Perhaps the board could add one additional (non-voting ) position, named
something like fool, or clown, for which Jamie could run. He is certainly
doing a good job of entertaining people.

Re 157: "amendment".
I don't think Jamie "shouldn't be elected". I think he's got the right to
run, but I'll predict he won't win.

I think the only serious arguments against jp2's candidacy are that he
needs to become a member before the election (which can and will be taken
care of easily, I'm sure) and that he won't be able to attend board
meetings in person. Otherwise, I can't see why anyone would object to him
being a candidate.
It's a separate question whether there are serious arguments for not
electing him. Are those what you were asking for in #145, Jamie?

Yeah, amendment.
The spelling issues are the least of it. Does it matter that the
candidate's a so-so writer? I would say no. It's true that confusion
of language always indicates confusion of thought, but, you know, what
the hey. Kevin Nicholls (twinkie) complains that Jamie affects
Britishisms like "harbour" and "colour" to make himself sound less
subliterate. Easy trick but, apart from Kevin, who cares? Jamie is
just mediocre, nothing more. Now, if we had a *professionally*
pretentious writer running for election, like Timmy Shores (leland), I
might consider voting for him.

I've been accused of taking pretension to high heights, but I'm not running.
;} Actually, the preferred words appear to be "condescending" and "pompous."
One possible benefit of Jamie running for Board: People joining Grex just to
vote against him.

I guess Jamie's just ignoring me, but he's said several times he wants
to make Grex managmenet "more nimble," and despite several requests,
has failed to reveal his program for doing this. The biggest argument
against jp2's candidacy is that he's abrasive, and Grex isn't about
being abrasive. Having been a board member, I just don't see him
functioning well on the board.

I'd be interested in knowing why the board needs to be more nimble. Some of
the board members could benefit from exercise, but I can't recall any
situation where the board's lack of nimbleness was a problem.
