So apparently were both poor.
Now for my response to your blog post. I don't think someone with -4 proto is necessarily bad. Heck, I have someone on my friends list who has -4, and an old friend was banned for dupe accounts. I have nothing against people with low proto. It does however, in a way, note someone's notable performance if the staff award them with proto...unless they bought a bunch of permier memberships. Those are, if I am correct, how you got both this blog and your proto.
I haven't seen many of your posts lately, so I did not know whether you had positive proto. You haven't seemed to have done anythign wrong, nor much the staff would award Proto for, so I assumed yours was 0 as well. My apologies.
No offense, but I haven't really seen you do anything "Notable; Remarkable; Exceptionally outstanding". The Communism thing throws it your way in my book if you can get that done, but until then, I haven't really seen anything to push you into the definition of "Great" yet.
Again no offense meant, but, as funny as your edits have been, I really haven't seen you "participate in the community with meaningful posts, be able to reason your points reasonably and logically, and give back to the community in a meaningful way", as you phrased it.
I'm just going to step in and say I dislike people who buy three Premier Memberships, cause Hate is a strong word.
And another thing: I've been at +4 proto before and I'm sure several people here know why I'm not there anymore.
