Your reluctance to sway to the ways of OT is impressive, but unfortunately it's necessary in order to complete your campaign. I've already given you my endorsement. What's the matter? Do I need to withdraw this endorsement?

I'm sorry, but as the candidate for most everyone, I simply can't bend to the extreme demands of your fringe group. Perhaps you'll join me at the negotiating table and resolve this like civilized people.
Mike
Fringe group?!?!?!
You're talking about prime contributors to the photoshop thread, which happens to be the most viewed thread in OT. Sorry dude, but we're the mainstream.
You're losing touch with your constituency. Maybe it is time to drop out?

I'm not talking about the participants of the photoshop thread. I'm talking about the militant participants. The photoshop extremists, if you will.Fringe group?!?!?!

I AM NOT a "cluster balloonist".It looks as though your candidacy is starting to unravel. Next we are going to find out that your blimp is nothing more than a balloon and a lawn chair and that you really weren't under sniper fire when you lived in Texas.

I think that you guys may be losing touch with the qualities that make a good moderator. I need to approach a potentially volatile situation, evaluate it with minimal prejudice, and render a well-considered decision without the input from those that seek to benefit from my decison. You may not be happy with my choices now but, in time, you'll see that they were the right ones.
Mike

Well, I haven't seen you photoshop a group of unsuspecting teenagers at a discotheque... but I would consider your attempt to force my hand for your own good a miltant tactic. Only you guys know whats truly in your heart.Would you consider Jive or myself a militant participant?![]()
Already voted carrots and it turns out that Mike doesn't even have a "cluster blimp". He has no blimp at all, unless that is what he calls the bum of the fat chick that comes into the washroom every day at 1:43.I have fired up the Advanced Simulation System (A.S.S.) which I haven't used since the legendary Qintar era to find out more info about our candidate, mike_v_s.
I first started out by running the most suspicious person in OT through it.

Through analysis of agent Major Metal, the A.S.S. was able to trace his radio signals back to his secret KGB headquarters.

Further analysis revealed a rather extensive server farm, with many super computers.

But the real discovery was what was found at the end of the hallway. It was a bathroom. And what the A.S.S. found was the identity of mike_v_s.

The candidate for change is just a high tech toilet paper dispenser with advanced message boarding capabilities. The V_S stands for virtual smart@$$.
Yes, folks, your "candidate" has no blimp.
Goes to show why the no pics rule is so important. Next time, vote carrots.

For our own good?!?!?
It's for the good of all TB. There's much entertainment in the photoshop threads. Like I stated earlier, you are losing touch with your constituency. Your campaign is built on a platform of empty promises.
Is he a Katrina survivor? Or was that just a case of him "mis-speaking". You be the judge.This has become a witch-hunt! Mike_v_s is a Katrina survivor. Hasn't he been through enough? Now, all he wants is to become a Moderator, and suddenly he has to survive yet another storm, a storm of accusations! Have you no hearts?!?:scowl:

Never has there been a more apt description of Mike_V_S. Bravo.Have you no head? You're campaigning on behalf of a high-tech toilet paper dispenser.
