That's not "given," I won elections against experienced people going for the same spots lol. Without merit, sure, but you're the democracy. Other AA's you could make the argument, but hey, I got the original merits from GATO. So I guess you've got a point!
Man now you've got me reminiscing. Those were fun times, back when GATO had people who actually tried to steer it towards its original principles. Back when there were people fighting to do the right thing. It was a good time.
