2022 tSwill Post of the Year

After thoroughly reviewing the nominees, the Committee of Nine has awarded the 2022 Post of the Year to "My thoughts on Michigan" by NigelUno! Please congratulate NigelUno; this is NigelUno's first nomination and first win.

Well deserved. When I opened that thread I knew immediately the point he was trying to make. What’s more is, I understood it.

While I don’t dispute the 2022 award recipient deserving PoTY for his efforts, it’s important to point out you went rebel and named the winner on your own. You aren’t reflecting a vote of the Co9, even if it were likely to reach the same conclusion. By breaking away from the group, are you hoping for some benefit from the reflected glory of Nigel’s feat? It seems like a selfish move on your part and one can only wonder what’s in it for you?

You can bet there will be an investigation by the Co9’s Office of the Inspector General.

Looks like one poster has been influenced by the hi-jinks in Washington and is trying to run a coup on the Co9.

Can we at least get a link to said post? I'd hate to have to disagree with you without knowing what I'm disagreeing about.

My vote is for Duffy. Absolute legend. He gives me a lot of shit but I’m forever grateful for the free food back in the day.

I don't get a vote, of course, however shouldn't Bob be in the mix?

Also, should Co9 members be allowed as nominees, seems like a conflict of interest if they are.

So jealous. So petty. It’s sad to see what you’ve become.

This is about posts not posters.

If that is the POTY we are fucked

When half your posts are about UM, ones or two are bound to hit.

Also turtleneck seems to have gone Swill insurrectionist.

I am requesting a select committee to look into potential crimes

Just nitpicking but that post is from 2023.

Research was limited....(my last "like")... but I did enjoy how turtleneck was called out for being blue.

So the nomination for POTY was made by someone who doesn't know the difference between a post and a thread?

Ban turtleneck. Remove his committee assignments as well.

It was 2022 you guys. Just under the wire

Say that as you drive your vehicle controlled by software with tons of safety features over the Big Mac Bridge!

Cars should have fewer safety features.

This smacks of recency bias. I'd like to point out there are are some real gems in the celebrity death thread, as well as elsewhere. Not to toot my own horn, but "deceased is the word" regarding Olivia Newton-John was a brilliancy IMHO.

The message was on point and delivered in a succinct yet impactful way. It was what we all needed to hear at that moment because it was how we were all feeling.

Well thanks. I thought "deceased is the word" was all of those things. And as was pointed out, Nigel's post wasn't even in 2022. Thus, this award will not be recognized by Swill management, and the title is considered vacated. Furthermore, nomination & due process procedures were not observed, further delegitimizing the "award". #StopTheSteal

I’ve had enough chuckles this morning, where I think I might bookmark this as thread of the year for 2023

If Fuck Michigan is wrong. I don't wanna be right.

It was from 2022. I was made on NYE according to the time stamp. It qualifies. I did not know Olivia Newton-John died. Considering she discovered gravity, I suppose that is a big deal.

I am surprised about the number of posters pushing back on an anti-UM thread. I thought "fuck Michigan" was the one thing we could all agree on at a time of incredible divisiveness. The responses make me weep for the future of this nation.

Not all engineers are so anal

Nothing says GO GREEN more on the Swill than POTY (it's really a thread) being about UM.

Fucking turtleneck.

Disappointed.

We have a basketball game in 2 days (with...checks schedule...Michigan). Can we please focus?

P.S. FUCK MICHIGAN

Your parents time stamped that kinda thing?

I stand correct - that will learn me to not be "anal" I guess.

Surely this has been expressed in other posts during 2022...

Cars should have fewer safety features.

You can buy vehicles with more or fewer features, (though crash protection for legal passenger vehicles beyond a certain manufacturing date is mandated by law) however, in all cases there was what has been called an "anal" engineer in the loop verifying that the numbers for the features in the vehicle add up so that the vehicle performs to the engineering expectations, same as there were "anal" engineers who designed the Mackinaw Bridge ensuring that it didn't become another "galloping gurtie"

Sometimes the instructions of those "anal" engineers are not followed, such as the catwalk bridge in that building in Kansas City, and then people die.

Newton-John's maternal grandfather was German Jewish Nobel Prize–winning physicist Max Born.

Classic overcompensation by a blue.

Which means you didn’t read about her death, which means you missed Heat’s post, which means you didn’t consider all possible PoTY options. You rebelled against the Co9 by unilaterally naming a winner without all available information. What an embarrassment.
The list of those you’ve publicly humiliated with this selfish and ill-advised move is long: Yourself; Nigel; the Award, which is now cheapened; the Co9, and finally, and worst of all: tSwill.
Turtleneck, have you no shame?

Anyway Heat can pull "most liked post" with the admin reporting suite that comes with this high powered software?

Alls I read from the above was 'FUCK Michigan'
