-BulletproofTurban- for Philosopher's Robe

[Tom Paine]

Posted on behalf of the member enoch, who proposed this motion to me by PM requesting it be posted in the Prothalamos.

I would like to propose the member BulletproofTurban aka RZZZA for the award of the Philosopher's robe according to the Constitution.

Philosophers Robe

Members of any rank are awarded this medal by means of a Consilium de Civitates vote and simple majority for outstanding contributions to the common community. The member must be nominated and a case brought forward in the Prothalamos like any other proposal.

I propose this for more reasons than I will state, but mostly, because it feels right.

BpT is one of the most prolific posters the CC has, as well as one of the most diverse in his pursuits. He is also that most undervalued commodity on the TWC, a well honed master of high end spam.

He is the one who makes us laugh without derailing or taking from the threads he spams. Spamming within the bounds of the discussion in question if you prefer, though he is also one of the most consistent and far ranging legitimate producers of cogent argument in our community.


Excellent arguments/issues he has brought to our attention:

The Ron Paul Outing

The infamous Anti-Religion Thread where the community organization S.I.N. was founded by the BpT.


High end spam:

Why are there so many fat nurses?

So I've captured a live mouse (Kill it or try and save it?)



The best description of BpT I have found, lies in his request, nearly a year ago, where he asked to have his citizenship removed because he believed he was not giving enough to community to keep the badge.

Well BpT, if you don't mind, I'll be rooting for your re-installment as soon as the reforms are over, your contribution to the forum is ample common sense and good will, which can be shown in this thread.

[RZZZA]

uhh, well I'm surprised and honored by this proposal from enoch, I'm not sure what "outstanding contributions" I've made to TWC other than doing what everyone does, just speaking their mind and having fun....

I thank you enoch for your consideration and high praise, however I don't deserve it or the robe.

edit: so as to not cause offence or waste of effort, I'm fine with leaving this up to the CdeC to decide. representitive democracy, oohrah!

[Blau&Gruen]

It seems that the response implies, that the proposed was not unfit to gain such honours.

Give him the robe. Definately earned it. At least in my opinion
