You know the old saying:
"Put two people in a room within two minutes there would be an appionted leader, add a third and then there is room for factions"
It was only a matter of time before someone wanted to rule the gaff...I would'nt give them the satisification...We are all equal here. Fight for democracy and don't elect a h2g2 president!!!

But it will not be the first president, there has been one before, only that hardly anybody can remember. So if you felt equal under the former president, why do you think that would change under the new one ?

Personally, I can't be bothered with the whole business. It's just another 'authority figure' that I'll ignore...

I'm more worried about a civil war. Most people here seem to hate authority figures...anyone with power should have it removed in the most painful way possible!!!

It's just a token position, el presidente is no more important than anyone else. Maybe slightly less important since you've got a scapegoat for all your problems on site. This is especially true if 2legs ends up as president

Chrust, I should have made a rule in post one - no campaigning in this thread. Not that anyone would have taken notice.
Civil war, eh? 
That could be worth looking forward to. We haven't had a decent war for ages
I don't think 2legs should be king AND prez AND village idiot AND scapegoat. The poor lad's only got so much time on his hands.

Presiding is very different from hegemonising. I don't hegemonise - the opposite, in fact. I smash hegemonies.

It's a long story, but the short version is it's all Happydude and Pheloxi's fault

Hegemonies (ab)use their power to influence others, usually in a bad way.
Presiding is much nicer.
