Well...
If it's really going to be "Brewer" of the Month, nominees should be supported by some kind of brewing resume. You don't have to be strict or detailed. Just supply reasons to support the nomination. It could even include non active or semi active members... if you can give a valid reason why.
I don't care if we have fun with the BOTM by joking around and having the campaigns and what not. It's been a lot of fun. That sort of thing should be named something else though. It's a blast, but isn't brewing related. It could just as easily been called "Chef" of the Month or "Gardener" of the Month.
Hey, a little more fun or a little more serious... I'm good either way, but it kind of needs to go one way or the other. The two don't mix or do they? Maybe I just don't see the light.

It's a lot of things to me. I was having fun with the campaign, but I did it because I personally wanted to see Mammy as BOTM. In one of the videos I did, "Pamela Anderson" said she was voting for him because he has so many posts. What I was getting at was that he's made a profound impact on the forum with so many helpful posts. To me, he's a yeast expert also and is very knowledgeable with partial brewing... plus, he makes me laugh.
I've nominated people for reasons that had nothing to do with beer, because we're all brewers here: that's a given. So I take other factors into consideration.
Sorry if I got out of hand this round.. even if I personally didn't, I may have instigated some of the over the top'edness.

I think there are some people that got a little offended with the fun we were having.I do think we were all doing it in good fun though.At least I know I was.I do think Pudge is right though we need to keep it brew related to keep it fair for everyone here.

Don't apologize. It's been fun. There has been more participation during this BOTM than all others combined. I think it just brings up the question... is this where we want to go with it? It's a reasonable debate, not a blame game.

I was just having fun with it as well which is why i would through out the everyone really deserves it sporadically because all the nominees really did. I agree though that a decision should probably be made. definately I think though the posts should probably be confined to the Brewer of the Month subforum and not other posts even when answering questions and what not. But it was an interesting race.
I blame Mammy because he's so fun to pick on but he's been a great sport through it all.

I thought it was some good humor for qualified candidates. Had it been pushing someone who joined the forum a week or two earlier, that would be a different story.
