And let's please draw a veil over Bitcoin_Arena's overall post quality.

Am sorry but how does Ronaldo come up in this whole Messi argument and saga?
Ronaldo is Ronaldo, Messi is Messi. Let's not be like the crazy Messi-CR7 fanboys.
Therefore I agree: there were dozens of exceptional forum members that could have been picked and only these two guys got a spot.
Their campaign their rules.
Good luck.
It's not good to criticize other people's writing styles, especially cherry-picking individual quotes out of entire pages of their post history. This usually leads to bloody flame wars like the ones in Chipmixer's thread. Also why didn't you put a link in the quote so we can see it in context?
Also, one thing I noticed from looking on that thread, is bringing up a reputation-style post in a signature campaign thread makes the manager less likely to pick you, so I think you should just nip this one in the bud for your own favor.
