I'm also making the following nominations (and suggestions for
nominations) for the Summer AFA-B awards.

ANGSTROM AWARD AND MEDAL

I nominate Ed Conrad. As a paleontologist and biologist, I think
Coalbrain is every bit as much a kooky mad scientist as any physics or
astronomy crank, and he certainly has put a lifetime of work into his
crackpot old earth creationist ideas.

Seconds?

I'll save my eligibility for another nom below:

Fair enough. Coalbrain still needs a second.

<snip>

Dennis B for his x/x = x math crankery and his advocacy (motivated by
his white sumpremecist views) of eugenics.

I nominate Dennis B for the Angstrom -- his white power/eugenics trash
arises from his assertions that human races are sub-species,

The concept of a subspecies is a controversial one in biology. Some
schools of systematics want to do away with the idea altogether.

completely
unsupported, of course. He also ignores the fact that all humans,
regardless of race, share a single common female ancestor.

Yes, Mitochondrial Eve. Humans also share a single male ancestor,
Y-chromosome Adam. However, the two did not live at the same time, nor
are they likely to have even lived in the same area of sub-Saharan
Africa. More to the point, the patterns of descent using mitochondrial
DNA and the Y-chromosome don't exactly match. For that matter, the
patterns of relationships from those two sources don't match the the
patterns of relationships from autosomes. Clear-cut distinctions among
human races would suggest that the three patterns would match. They
don't. So much for Mr. B's assertion!

Back to the matter at hand.

Should the nominations for Dennis B and Coalbrain both be seconded, the
summer AFA-B ballot will have two evolution kooks of very different
stipes running against each other. Excellent!

<snip>

CHERNOBYL PRIZE

I nominate Raymond Karczewski, for the biggest continuing meltdown on
AFA-B.

Seconds?

Kazoo is seconded.

Kazoo's nomination is accepted.

Other people who have melted down on AFA-B include Alexa Cameron and
Babaloonie. Also, MCP of soc.men and Chuck Lysaught of rec.arts.poems
have also posted spectacular meltdowns on USENET and have posted to
AFA- B, but haven't posted their meltdowns to AFA-B (darn). I might
be willing to recognize their off-AFA-B antics based on their posting
history on AFA-B. As usual, I'm open to other nominees who have
posted wonderful out of control nuclear pyrotechnics to AFA-B

Warhol has also produced spectacular meltdown and screed on AFA-B and
should be considered as an opponent for Kazoo.

<snip>

DR. POSTMAN'S "STOLEN KIDNEY" AWARD

I nominate Raymond Karczewski for the longest ongoing display of
paranoia on AFA-B.

Seconds?

Heh, Kazoo is seconded again.

Kazoo's nomination is accepted.

<snip>

ED CONRAD "BRAIN OF STONE" AWARD

I nominate Dr. David Tholen.

Seconds?

Oh yes!

Nomination accepted.

GREEN LANTERN AWARD FOR PROJECTION

I nominate Raymond Karczewski. He's the resident net-kook of AFA-B,
so he should be the default candidate.

Seconds?

Kazoo is seconded a thrid time.

And his third nomination is accepted.

<snip>

STEVE WINTER MEMORIAL "STEAMING MOUND OF HYPOCRISY"

Double-A's nomination has been seconded and is now accepted. As his
opponent, I nominate Raymond Karczewski for his hypocritical
proclamations of being an anti-governement Sovereign Christ while
depending on government handouts. Hell, isn't it?

Seconds?

I'm ineligible.

Yes, as Double-A is your candidate. Kazoo's nomination still needs a
second. Bueller, Bueller, anyone, Bueller?

TINFOIL STAR AWARD

This has been a really weak season for netcopping on AFA-B, which may
be a good thing. Still, it happened. I nominate Honest John for this
award.

Seconds?

Absolutely, clockbrain has a second now.

Nomination accepted.

Other posters to AFA-B who have attemped weak netcopping include Dr.
Tholen and Ed Conrad. A valid second and some convincing will get a
nomination of one of them accepted.

The putative William H. Rollins (real or fr0gged) is working on this
award, too.

THICK AS A BRICK AWARD

I withdraw my unseconded nomination of Tom "Amadeus Jinn" Bishop for a
nomination of Dr. David Tholen.

Seconds?

Tholobot has a second here.

Dr. Tholen's nomination is accepted. I see you've added
comp.os.os2.advocacy to the froups line so that Dr. Tholen can see that
he's being recognized. Very good.

BTW, I wonder if a proposal to remove comp.os.os2.advocacy would pass
muster with the B8MB. Lots of other comp froups devoted to obsolete
programs have been removed recently. Would Dr. Tholen start whining to
news.groups to prevent Vito Kuhn from deleting one of his home froups?
Hmm, the possibilities are <Spock>fascinating.</Spock>

OFFICE OF THE VIAGRA JUNKIE

I have already nominated Colonel Jake to run against
Raymond Karczewski. The nomination needs a second.

Goofy Jake is seconded.

Nomination accepted. RAMD added so that Colonel Jake can enjoy the
attention and RAMD can melt down at the temerity of my appearing there
while the drum corps season is still underway.

OFFICE OF THE WICKED WITCH

I nominate Raymond Karczewski to run against the incumbent, PSYLVIA
PSULLIVAN.

Seconds?

And a fourth second for Kazoo.

And a fourth acceptance, too.

OFFICES OF KARCZEWSKI, WOLLMANN, & STAPLETON, ATTOURNEYS AT FLAW

I nominate Double-A to run against the incumbent, Richard Scoville.

Seconds?

Yuppers.

Accepted.

Looking forward to your seconds and nominations!

A fine slate o' candidates here thus far.

Thank you! May more AFA-B bullies nominate and second good candidates.
