Cheers for the The Magistrate.

[ruggerson]

Just for being you. All the time. Sir. :toast:

[Ishoutandscream2]

1. Seconded

Seems like a great guy. Many of us could learn a thing or two on how to behave from that man.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. He is a terrific guy!

I really enjoyed interacting with him during my term as a mod...

He's classy, smart, and very well-spoken!

A pillar of DU!

:patriot:

[MethuenProgressive]

3. He locked a thread of mine for "over the top characterizatrion of a Democratic candidate."

I didn't know that was a rule, I though it was a tradition...

[NanceGreggs]

4. Well, you won't catch me NOT weighing in ...

... on a Magistrate appreciation thread!

I ALWAYS consider it an honour when he posts on one of my discussions!!!

Here's to you, my friend - sir!

:toast:

[JohnLocke]

5. A treasure here, for sure.

[More Than A Feeling]

8. Wow, he must be something to get you to make a post that isn't a pro-Edwards article.

[sniffa]

6. i thought this was a joke, sir

[Cameron27]

7. To a very good debater and excellent mod

Cheers :toast:

[opihimoimoi]

9. He is DA MAN...articulate, well behaved, civil, polite, and wise

Here is a case of Fine Wine and loads of Lobsters

:toast:

[BootinUp]

10. All true

I doubt he will even get a big head from all this praise. ;)

[opihimoimoi]

15. Humility is his middle name....a Patriot of the finest caliber

[knight_of_the_star]

11. Hail to The Magistrate!

Always pleasant, articulate, polite, reasoned, logical, polished, and fair.

Hail to The Magistrate! :toast:

[denem]

12. I always look foward to his posts.

His civility, eloquence and clear headed partisanship brighten my day. The caption "Let's get those Bush bastards" never failed to bring a smile to my face.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. The Magistrate .... smackdowns in a league of their own

The man is verbal genius personified. He smacks 'em down and they smile.

[Sparkly]

14. I LOVE The Magistrate's posts.

My only complaint is that there aren't enough of them. :applause:

[Tellurian]

16. Thanks ruggerson for recognizing ...The Magistrate..

for his 'Grace Under Fire!'

:toast: to you Magistrate!

[mondo joe]

17. Praise to The Magistrate! Every thread is improved by The Magistrate's presence!!!

:cheers:

[NV Whino]

18. Locking

Calling out a Mod is verboten.

[oasis]

19. He should be enshrined in DU's Hall of Fame.

:bounce:

[terrya]

20. The Magistrate exemplifies the very best of DU.

When I was a moderator, I had the distinct pleasure of working with him. The Magistrate is fair, honest and hard working. It is always reassuring to see him at Democratic Underground.

[The Magistrate]

21. Thank You, My Friends

It is an unexpected pleasure to find such appreciation expressed!

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[Lerkfish]

30. how is this a politics thread?

:shrug:

[Kurovski]

22. To The Magistrate...

:toast:

[ellisonz]

23. A heck of a poster!

[Karmadillo]

24. He eats babies.

No. Wait. That's somebody else. Sorry. I get confused sometimes. The Magistrate is a genuinely good guy. DU is lucky to have him around. Back in DU's golden age, it was fun just to log on to watch the heavy hitters like The Magistrate, absynthe, Indiana Green, Tinoire et al. debate each other. More thought and fewer talking points. Those were the days.

[The Magistrate]

26. I Greatly Miss Mr. Absynthe, Sir

It is good of you to remember him. An excellent writer, with an eye for the telling detail, and a man of profound honesty and fairness....

[Forkboy]

33. I'm with you there.Absynthe was always interesting.

Of course, the I/P cage match was always an interesting thing, but some people brought more to the table than others (not me, of course.I just bring the snark..I get it in bulk so I have to use it before it goes bad).

And cheers to you, good sir.Glad to see you back for another mod term. :toast:

[Karmadillo]

36. Mmm... the I/P cage match

And don't underrate the snark. I worked with a Freeper back then who held you up as an example of why DU was a den of iniquity.

[Forkboy]

38. LOL...that just made my day.

That's me...helping to foster dens of iniquity worldwide. :D

[The Magistrate]

40. Glad To See You Found This, Sir

"For the Snark was a Boojum, you see."

[juajen]

25. I love him, too.

He is always so clean and articulate! LOL. He's a gentleman and always gets his point across in the nicest way. Thanks, Sir, for bringing reason so often to our great DU board.

[Catherine Vincent]

27. Sure.

:kick:

[Solon]

28. Who?

:yoiks:

[mitchum]

29. Here's to you, Sir

[Adelante]

31. Easily done
