New award suggestion

I already know who's got my vote, but I won't say who unless the award is approved.

But I'll tell you now it's the best foot-in-mouth I've seen in this forum. And a sure-fire winner!

Great idea - unless it is me - then a terrible idea.

I doubt that the proposed award is in keeping with the theme of civil debate.

Would you elaborate? This award is just meant to be humorous. Although I had the idea because a certain person was too quick to judge a fellow debater, how is it uncivil? Awards aren't usually open to debate, so how can we be civil or uncivil about them?

Beto,

It could be considered an insult by the recipient.

I'm sure some would. Especially those who never bring themselves to admit to having made a mistake in the first place. I find that more insulting, and deserving of group recognition.

There is no Oscar for worst movie. There is no Nobel for poorest contribution. There is no Man-Booker for worst book.
You get the idea.

There's an award to recognize waste of cinematographic resources.

Anyway, forget about the idea. It might have kept some folks on their toes, though.

Myself included...

NP. That's what you get for making a suggestion to a bunch of debaters.
