I would also like to complain about the latest scathing editorial.
Firstly, the "Do-Nothing Presidency" of Joe Republic"? Isn't that a little rich coming from you, Sam? You've hardly been keeping on top of things lately, as you've already admitted. Read Dubya's post just before Al's in this thread.
Secondly, how exactly can you put the problems of the Tenth Senate at my door? Was I to blame for Colin's absence, expulsion, and the subsequent CheeseWhiz v. Atlasia case? Am I to blame for the length of time that the Senate has taken to debate and vote on bills? And your opinion of "badly written legislation" is an issue to take up with the individual senators who write them. I'm not their editor.
Third, you've criticized my bill that allows me to introduce legislation, and then criticized me for not introducing enough legislation too! As it happens, I already have more bills ready to be introduced, provided the Senate grants me that power. But as the Senate is more concerned with protecting endangered lichens, cutting their own salaries, and imposing textile tariffs, you could say it's hard to stay patient. I have already asked the PPT and Vice President to bump that particular bill to the top of the agenda.
Fourth, I remember you praising Siege40 for leaving the Senate alone. Now it seems it's completely my responsibility that the body is not working at its full potential. Quite a contradiction, don't you think?
Fifth, I am now fully of the opinion that you are clearly too biased to operate as GM. As you will remember, a few days ago I asked you why you hold an open grudge against me, and you responded by saying that "now Ilikeverin has gone, I need
somebody in the government to hate." Frankly, that excuse is pathetic. If I see any more of your editorials that are fueled by your own petty grudges, then I will have no choice but to petition for your resignation.
P.S. "the Senate has defined its position through the legislative accomplishments of Gabu,
Sam Spade and Colin Wixted during the Sixth and Seventh Sessions."
