A super moderator's posting doesn't carry any additional creditablity than any other poster with similiar track record. A major difference between myself and a supermoderator is being able to take action when someone violates the forum rule. If I think someone is violating a forum rule, the only thing I can do is complain, whereas the super moderator can stop the discussion or I guess even suspend someone. Being a super moderator does not make him or her an expert on what's right or wrong.
Again, this is beyond making a choice, it's about changing your choice.
Which is the right of the winner to accept the appointment and then choose to decline the appointment. They have WON that right as the clear WINNER!
I still can not understand WHY this is so important to the posters who are angry that the Candidate accepted their Appointment that they earned and then later decided to decline.
You would think the next in line for an appointment could be from their congressional slate. But if they are not the best candidate with the best WCS one could argue that the person from the NWL with a higher WCS is possibly a better candidate.
I think the main issue is that if a candidate "won" their district spot for the appointment, accepts it and then later declines it, then the feeling is that the that spot may go to the national pool, rather than going to the next person on the local slate. I don't know, for sure, that there if the appointee never accepts the appointment, if when he/she declines it, that it is more likely go to the "local" candidate who has the next highest WCS, but some people feel that it would be more likely. If a candidate doesn't have the highest WCS on a national level, they might get the spot, but if they keep it at the local level, then it would mean they get in. We know that no spot will ever go unfilled, but where that spot comes from may be the issue. None-the-less, why accept the slot if you aren't 100% sure, when you would have time to wait if you are uncertain?
Two points
#1 Shouldn't the most qualified get in regardless of their locality?
#2 Why accept...BECAUSE YOU EARNED THAT RIGHT.
Sorry we just seem to disagree. Best of luck to all of you.
