LeeO, one of my favorite quotes by Liberty Student. Sums things for me quite nicely :

I still read it from time to time, whenever I feel like i'm coming down with a case of minarchism.

I suggest a Permanent MVP Badge for Liberty Student (my understanding is that these badges have been awarded on a rotating basis in the past). I'm sure he couldn't care less about such a thing, but I think it would be an appropriate gesture on behalf of the forum.

I think all past MVP's should be considered for a "Best Of" Thread, if enough people are interested and/or approve it. LS would be the likely initial Best Of candidate, methinks.

Aside from being a 'neat' thing to do, it would serve the dual purpose of allowing "newbs" to the forums to more easily digest past posts by those who are considered valuable posters.

MVP's are usually awarded by posters that are civil & can be reasonable in debates with others, as well of course knowledgeable & intellectually capable, so I think it would also serve as showcasing good examples of healthy forum demeanor, without it being strictly enforced :P

Members, please quote your favorite posts by these MVPs in this thread!

I joined the community after liberty student stopped posting regularly, so I would appreciate some quotes of his. I'm planning to sift through his old posts on my own, but there are so many and I would enjoy a head start!

It would be really nice if we had a link to some of their contributions. I must have missed something of value on some of these members.

Here.

Next time, I will link any examples to future nominations (if i have any).

Thanks. That was enjoyable, and I did miss it.

How exactly does the decision making take place? Behind close doors obviously. Is there a vote? Or is it one person simply handing out badges for the month.

Hmm... sounds a lot like the Fed. Perhaps we need a bill to audit this process

Yes, we came up with this 3 years ago, and agreed to it while most moderators were out on vacation this past Christmas. :p
