I recuse Murphy from CFJ 3779. I assign CFJ 3779 to Jason Cobb. Gratuitous Arguments (from G.):
In this message from 2005, Murphy attempted to use "AOL!" as a synonym for "Me too", in the same way twg is using "And my axe!" in this case: https://mailman.agoranomic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/agora-business/2005-March/003673.html In CFJ 1536, this was found to fail, in part because the "AOL!" joke was obscure even to the judge. Arguably, "And my axe!" is a more known pop-culture synonym for "I do this too", but YMMV. status: https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/#3779 =============================== CFJ 3779 =============================== I am a candidate for Prime Minister. ========================================================================== Caller: twg Judge: Murphy ========================================================================== History: Called by twg: 06 Nov 2019 22:41:48 Assigned to Murphy: [now] ========================================================================== Caller's Evidence: [Message from twg as it appeared] On Wednesday, November 6, 2019 9:06 PM, Aris Merchant wrote: > On Wed, Nov 6, 2019 at 7:28 AM Kerim Aydin ke...@uw.edu wrote: > > > On 11/3/2019 10:31 AM, Kerim Aydin wrote: > > > > > I initiate an election for Prime Minister. > > > > I nominate myself for P.M., for the sake of having a contested > > election, and I encourage other nominees. -G. > > I stand for PM, in the interests of having fun and because it's > basically a tradition that G. and I both run at this point. > > -Aris And my axe!
