Hiya,
I post with with all the respect given to current and past MOTY recipients but some things are burning inside me and I want to get them out to at least see if anyone else feels as I do.
1. Traits a MOTY should possess are as follows.
a: Altruistic generosity , kindness and respect to others.
b: Should be ready to help people through issues no matter what they are.
c: Should be a good forum citizen.
d: Possess a good moral compass.
2. Term limits. This means you are selected and that is it for life. Its enough of a honor without going for a repeat or three-peat.
3. No self voting allowed. Do I really have to explain how ridiculous this is ??
4. No grandstanding , politicking or buying of votes (OK I am kidding about buying votes)
Now as far as our "Departed" members I have thoughts about that as well.
1. They should be memorialized properly.
2. We should create a category for members who have departed and vote on it one year after death.
3. The memorial member who is selected should have a one month fund raiser with the proceeds distributed as per surviving family members wishes.
Anyhow I just wanted to get this out of my system. Hope this makes people consider what this honor really is about. And perhaps even chime in and offer thoughts.
