What I am getting at is this: Are you a part of this community? I don't think you are. I don't want to include you on the regulars page if you are not really a regular, a true member of our community.
So, what do I do? Include someone I intensely dislike who I believe does not belong, or be nasty about it and leave you out?
As far as I am concerned, Nate, it's my hobby page, and I will include you if and when I ever think you belong on it. *shrug* I think it would be dishonest to do otherwise.
I happen to think he belongs on it. As I see it, he fits the three criteria:
[list=1][*]He's been around a while, and stuck around, save for that one forced hiatus.
[*]He's had enough of a presence that the vast majority, if not all of the regulars recognize him.
[*]Although you and some others may have taken a strong disliking to him and/or his postings, he has had a constructive presence in quite a few of these forum discussions and made a fair number of decent contributions to our comicfests.[/list=1]No offense intended to any of those wonderful people already on the list, but in my book, he should have gone on before one or two of them. Please make sure that if you're doing this as a sort of site resource, rather than a personal lark, you're not letting your feelings toward him cloud your judgment.
