A Motion for the Libertarian Party to Expel Philip

[CheeseWhiz]

I make a formal motion that we expel A18/Ace/Philip from the Atlas Libertarian Party on the charge of flooding the board with accounts and offensive posts.  This motion will need to be seconded before we can have debate and then a vote.

I agree, Governor CheeseWhiz. I was not initially aware that Philip was even in the Libertarian Party, but he's definitely not helping our reputation as a clear-headed group.

So, can I count this as a second to my motion?

[CheeseWhiz]

nay, although he can say many things to get a reaction out of people, his activist approach certainly helps makes his voice heard and often says things in favor of liberty.  For example, the Farm Subsidy Reduction Act, he was the first one to have the cajones to say why not repeal subsidies altogether.

I know that Philip can have some very good points sometimes, but I feel the way he presents them makes everyone less open to our goals.  I also know his membership is holding back people from joining this Party.

[CheeseWhiz]

I second the motion.

Yes.

Then I hereby open debate.

Whilst I'm obviously not a Libertarian Party member, I don't see especially what the problem is. Philip can certainly be annoying at times, but he is pretty clever and articulate, if viewing things a little too much in black and white for my taste.

Certainly I've found Philip much more subdued recently, and I see no reason to essentially attack him for what was no worse than other forum member's behaviour.s

I know what you mean about him being much more subdued.  I wrote this long ago and at the time he was continuously attacking people.  But I couldn't introduce it until I had the bylaws passed, so I was thinking about retracting it until he did something trollish, but with himself seconding the motion, I'm guessing he wants to see how it goes.

Any more debate, or should we vote on this?
