Originally posted by TeinosukeI was elected to judge a contest once and I realized I have zero interest in putting in the time necessary. I will have to recuse myself.
If I were President of RHP (and I admit that no one's elected or even proposed me yet), then I'd nominate to the supreme court (in alphabetical order) FMF, generalissimo, KazetNagorra, melanerpes, no1marauder, palynka, sh76, A Thousand Young and twhitehead. These are all posters who seem to think before they write and are amenable to evidence, which seems lebots and whodeys of this world will do the best to derail the confirmation process anyway.
Anyway, I'm a Loyalist.

Originally posted by cheshirecatstevensI'd say the best choice for "RHP president" would be sh76. As for the nine "supreme forum justices" I'd nominate myself, teinosuke, DRkf, utherpendragon, whodey, melanerpes, wajoma, kmax87, and No1. Certainly this would provide some sort of balance.
I only dabble in the microcosm of the rhp debates forum. Most here seem somewhat more educated that the shlubs on the slag pile, and well with an election cycle coming soon I pondered the possibility of rhp creating a "micro nation". Could the personas of rhp get together and create a document and rivaling the US Constitution? Could they elect a ord; six attended Harvard. Does that seem representative of the US? Should that be an issue?
Originally posted by generalissimoWow. I'm honored. Thank you.

My first act, a la King Henry VIII, will be to separate debates from the RHP message boards community and throw off the yoke of supervision by Russ and the mods. I will then make everyone swear an oath of loyalty to my kingdom on pain of being found guilty of high treason.
Anyone who disagrees is hereby sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered, though if you're lucky (like, say, Thomas More), I'll commute the sentence to beheading.
I'll bet you thought the power wouldn't go to my head until I actually had it. 🙂

Here's my list.
CHIEF prn (drafted against his will) or bbarr
OTHERS no1, generalissimo, terrierjack, melenarpes, sh76, rwingett, usaparatrooper, Bosse de Nage
Honorable mention: FMF - but he'd just filibuster everything and troll the other judges for fun.
EDIT
teinosuke, DRkf, kmax87
Good choices G.
Originally posted by sh76Oh, I knew. I felt fear in my heart at the thought of the Anglo oppressor or an ally of his getting the top post. 😳

Originally posted by generalissimoThanks for the nomination, generalissimo; if I hadn't already declared myself President I'd be delighted to serve on your supreme court! Although wajoma and I might waste a fair bit of time shouting at each other across the benches.

And yes, if I were persuaded that I should resign my high office, sh76 would make a fine President, although perhaps we'd need to find him a slightly pro-Arab foreign secretary for balance (not scherzo, I hasten to add).
I wonder though if the best RHP President in the sense of being "a uniter, not a divider" would be melanerpes.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungGood that you mentioned USArmyParatrooper; I'd overlooked him since (I think) he hasn't been posting as much lately. He is a very civilised and reasonable debater, so I think I should find him a place on my court too. Pity I already filled up nine places. Perhaps I'll have to attempt a court-packing scheme a la Roosevelt in the 1930s.
