Giggle. You're funny.Okay, let's start off with, dude's got seniority, like, out the shoes. He's one of the senior members around here, and not a total idiot like most of said seniors (though any of the total idiots are gone I guess). Sure, kind of a shallow reason, but putting him below guys who are barely human beings in your eyes? Haha, no.
Then there's, see, Shaun is generally an active and fun guy. He has a life, yeah, but he still contributes a lot more than some of the people up there. I think he should be near Fireman and Red Fox; he helps with SE about as much as them, right?
Next of all, how many topics of his are stickied? How many of those topics are serious/important topics? Right. Go count, deary. I'll wait.
In the meantime, I may as well add this: Shaun has proven time and time again to be a flexible guy. I don't mean to bring this up, as most of us either don't remember or have happily abandoned these times, but when FESS first came to Serenes Forest, he was among the few to not display utter xenophobia, and rarely even confronted some members who really bothered him. Why? He was trying to be hospitable.
He's a useful member, a good member, and above all else, a good person.
