<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>Okay, I can see your
point on this, in one certain situation- If the person being reccommended
is, at the same time, demonstrating that they DON'T deserve the
award.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>there's this guy, let's
call him Melvin, who regularly busts his butt to help out, always doing set up,
herald, marshalling, teaches classes, ad infinitum ad nauseum. Several
people put Melvin in for Pelican. While the Crown is considering this,
they have a couple of Pelicans say "check out what he just posted on the
Aerie". They do so, and find that Melvin has just nailed someone hide to
the door, in a very blunt manner. When They send Melvin a private email
saying he may want to back off and reconsider his words a bit, maybe make his
point a little more gently, They're told "why would I do that, I'm
right."</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC"

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>Does our boy Melvin
deserve a Pelican? Of course not, he's already shown that his tact
and civility are seriously lacking, if not non-existent. So, all those
reccommendations for Mel go into the "maybe next reign" file, and some Peers are
hinted to give the boy some guidance, so that he develops those skills he's
lacking.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC"
color=#000080></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>Of course, if Melvin
just continues to stick his foot in his mouth, he has no one to blame but
himself, and he shouldn't be whining about not getting
recognition.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>NOTE: if anyone
reading this thinks it refers to them, then:</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>A) you have a guilty
conscience, don't blame me, and </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>B) you're wrong,
it's not you, and </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Tempus Sans ITC" color=#000080>C) perhaps you
should think about WHY you feel that you're Melvin</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>> Sadly enough, some King's do ignore certain people and I think it's
sad. BUT a</DIV>
<DIV>> King only rules for 6 months. So, if the one King turns
down your recomendation, try</DIV>
<DIV>> again with the next King. I personally know of several
letters that didn't make it</DIV>
<DIV>> through the first time that we got pushed through with
another. So, your excuse is</DIV>
<DIV>> invalid. Keep trying.<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Not taking issue with somebody who has a single letter or two that isn't
so recognized. Regardless of the kingdom there are individuals that have
recieved numerous letters that cross multiple reigns and this is the problem
I'm pointing out. A couple of letters and a couple of reigns is one
thing but when letters are submitted over more than a dozen reigns that is
something else.</DIV>
