That's the key: "as long as it's harmless". I don't think it is. However the Beardo brigade meant it, it comes across as an attempt to delegitimize the whole undertaking. They repeatedly gave speculative and meta "justifications", both of which violate the ground rules of this process. We have no obligation to "represent" people who refuse to follow the rules, else what's the point of having rules in the first place?

Lion's insinuation that racism was involved is something that reasonable and respectful people never do lightly. As far as I'm concerned, it proves beyond reasonable doubt that she never had any intention of taking this seriously. If it were up to me, I'd bar her from voting--which Rule #6 allows--because everything she's done suggests that she'll vote for the candidate she thinks is the weakest.

As for Kid deciding which nominations are valid, he's the host and therefore has certain prerogatives. I, for one, see no evidence that he's abusing them. And the reason we've had this issue in all the previous blogs is because we always get a bunch of people--probably the same ones, although I'm not certain--offering bogus advocacy for the first boot. Rarely if ever any of the other earliest outs, just the first boot. Doesn't that strike you as the least bit suspicious?
