I don't care one bit about whether or not I am entered into some cyber-board hall of fame. What does matter to me, is that 14 people voted for me at all. For a long time, it's been very fashionable to be opposed to most any opinions I might express. I get why. I have expressed some opinions that many found offensive and they have chosen to keep those opinions in their minds at all times. So much so, that anything else I might have posted was tainted. But this voting shows that a fair number of people have been open minded enough to see more. It's nice to see that change.

It would be nice for you to change your stated positions on people of color.

And when you are done, you can work on your obsession with yourself.

It would be .....nice??? Why is that? What possible difference might it make, that some guy you hear on the radio and see posts from on a message board espouses opinions you agree with or not? Is it because you just feel more comfortable with people who seem more like yourself??? That you are intolerant of those who are not like you?.....Hmmm....

Let the record show, I voted for Steve first time around. But if it comes down to Steve vs. Beni, sorry but Beni gets my vote. Beni is under-appreciated. Yes Panther, I get that Steve has generated heat, but that's not the only measuring stick of a good poster. If anything, that's pretty much all Steve does or tries to do. Beni contributes well to conversations and is also pretty funny without going over the top.

This isn't a popularity contest, though.

It's a Hall of Fame vote.

With all due respect to Beni Hanna, he is not in E-Steve's league in terms of HOF consideration.

Elmhurst Steve is the Lex Luthor of This Board and a sure-fire, 1st Ballot Hall of Famer. He has generated more heat here than almost anybody. He has a legacy. Shit, he branded the word "Brand" fer Criminy.

For him to be done like this in a popularity contest that you knew he would never win is total bullshit.

I hereby propose that we make a separate Antagonists/Board Villains Wing of the HOF, pull the members that fit into that category into one room, and re-vote accordingly.

Oh my god.

In the past year, I had a number of great experiences. Because I run my own business, I am afforded the opportunity to do some fun things. Doing some work in television for example. In the past year I got to do 2 episodes of Boss, 1 in which I played Meredith's Bodyguard and the other,in which I was in the security detail for a Debate. I got to do a commercial for Addidas with Derek Rose, where I played a Bulls coach (It should air just after he comes back to play). But my favorite role was as one of the thugs in Mob Doctor. It was a recurring role and I got to appear in 5 episodes. I get a lot of call for roles where I would play a Police Officer, Detective, Secret service...etc. But the roles that appeal to me most are those where I get to play a bad guy. It's a lot more fun. Lex Luthor was a great villain. If you watch Shameless, you will see me on that coming later in this season (3). I play (again) a member (there are 2 of us-but I am the one that's the primary one in the scene with William Macy) of a security detail for a Mayoral candidate that's speaking at a Bus/El stop that Macy approaches to complain about city insurance policy. I intercept Macy and keep him at a safe distance in the scene while allowing him to finish his diatribe. Macy was as nice a guy as I have met on a set and I like that show a lot, so it was a lot of fun working on it. Ohhhhhh......I guess all this kinda goes against the request that I be less self-obsessed. But hey, nobody expected that to happen anyway....

For a long time, it's been very fashionable to be opposed to most any opinions I might express.

Defendant began screaming at Plaintiff, telling Plaintiff how selfish he was; that Defendant got to where he is now due to sexual favors he had performed when he was in his Welcome Back, Kotter days; and that Hollywood is controlled by homosexual Jewish men who expect favors in return for sexual activity. Defendant then went on to say how he had done things in his past that would make most people throw up.

Why aren't people writing SIX (6) paragraphs about our dear Beni?

I love Beni. I have never had a problem with Beni. . .

. . . but Steve has fucking HELD COURT here - and on many occasions.

This contest is not "Let's punish so and so for being (or maybe, possibly, just appearing to be, to stoke the flames?) closed-minded".

I did not expend the precious few seconds to re-birth this idea [1] (which our dear loss leader in the sensitive attention whore department, Mr. Darkside, decided to jump all over [2] [without any attribution, mind you] before anyone else could grab the surefire heat from this hottt topic) for it to be bastardized so.

Barry Bonds has more homers in a season and in a career than anyone to play Baseball. Pete Rose has more career hits than anyone. Yet neither is in their hall of fame.

I guess this proves that posters here are just not capable of measuring a fellow poster's Board Impact objectively.

Sad.
