Redundant Elite? I'm already redundant Elite...just look at my Profile ID number!
The irony. It burns.

Would "Elite Member of the Elite" be more tolerable?

Just go into Forum Issues. Every time someone starts a thread, insult them and tell them to PM the Mods because Forum Issues is not monitored.

Hahaha, that's actually quite true! 😀

It's the nature of the people who get chosen as elite that make it seem like most have an american flag avatar.

Most people chosen as elite are self-righteous, with holier than thou attitudes, and generally really conservative. The same kind of people that you generally see as bush loving, gun-ho patriots that would sport the flag as an avatar.

Uh, no.

Yeah, seriously. Aside from maybe Amused (and he seems to be more of a libertarian) I can't think of any other conservative Elites.

Onery (speeling?)? (Libertarian maybe also?)
Eagle Keeper (maybe a libertarian also?)

Why drag me back into this thread.
If looking for others of my ilk, then browse through P&N more closely.
Olds, CPA seem also to sit on my side of the fence.

There needs to be some counter balance

Or I could be wrong and you do need to browse the Hot Deals forum for deals on knee pads.
couldn't one save the hassle of going through the Hot Deals forum and just squat?

I'm wondering if there is anyone who before becoming elite was banned at least once.

the question is, is there anyone who was banned AFTER they became elite.

I may sport the flag, and be somewhat conservative (actually libertarian), but at least I know the term is "gung-ho" - for all intensive porpoises.
