Greetings to All !!
The "macro" community of nations has a host of famous "Statesmen"; which could be a catalyst for the belief that the Greater MicroSphere must too, have a few MicroStatesmen.
Not a poll.....not a vote.....simply a request for personal opinions:
Who do you view as a "MicroStatesman" ( male / female ) ?
Voice your choice.....and give a few reasons as to why you believe that he or she is worthy of such a respectful title.
And as always, all informative replies are hereby thanked in advance.
ThanX !!
Regards to All !! ______________
P.S.
The individual may still be active within the Greater MicroSphere; or could have resigned or vanished, or even have passed away. ( can be from your own Great State...or from another micronation ) ____________________________________________________

Looking at the great big picture, the President of Molossia comes to my mind, as a doyen of micronationalism.

I also agree... It would be good to get some more discussion over here, though.

Princes Leonard, Giorgio and Roy of Hutt River, Seborga and Sealand respectively, have done more to promote the notion of "micronations" to the world at large than anyone else.
Unsurprisingly, all are firmly rooted in the real world, and none have any "humorous" "tongue in cheek" or "fantasy" aspects to their micronations.

And all three are considered right crackpots.
As for the title of this thread, once again I must point out that the use of "Micro" as a shortening for "micronational" looks absurd.
Big small statesmen of the bigger small sphere... Come on now. Type the few extra characters, it wont kill you. Or if you must use shortenings, use something logical like "MN". Please!

Eccentrics, perhaps.
Crackpots, I think not.
Prince Leonard managed to get himself into the permanent exhibition at the National Museum of Australia - which is an achievement no other micronationalist has ever managed to come within a country mile of.
Together those three fellows have garnered more media coverage than all other micronations put together, several times over.

Arrogant candy-a$$ a$$h0!3 !!
K!$$ my rosey-red a$$hole, and crawl back into your MicroHole !! ;D
Can you not find anything else to bitch about ?!!? ( you become an Admin...and then start acting as a ??..... )
You must have a real narrow view of another person's personal freedoms of presentation, when it comes to the manner in which one prefers to present his or her topics. ( i.e. your way is ok...another way is not !??! )
I've told you before...and I'll tell you again....I posted the thread...the way that I chose to do....if you do not like the subject, wording, title...or anything else.....just do no read or reply to it !! ( real simple...even you should be able to understand / ?? )
The same applies to anyone else, who happens to object to the manner in which I present my topics; as I could give a flying-ra+$azz what you think about the topics, and the manner in which I present them !!
You may be sick of the way in which I post....I'm just as sick of your repeated bitching...like a spoiled rotten baby !!
You brought it up "again"..............
Drop it......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got it...kemosabee !??!
Have a nice day. ;D

Tone down the personal attacks and get back on topic please!
It's not appropriate for forum admins to be bickering in public over such a trivial matter.

While I accept that heated discussion is a necessary outcome of vigorous and purposeful debate, I'd like to suggest that these sorts of minor operational disagreements might be better resolved via private message or email in future.

Greetings !! Since you've voiced your views once again, here in the public, on this / his trivial repeated objection / issue....I suppose that I should / could reinforce your view here as well............ Once again....I agree 110% George. He should have directed his petty / trivial objection, to my method of presenting topics, in an email or a private message.....instead of "once again".....bringing it up in a public fashion....in attempts to start a fight I can only guess. What I did...was in direct defense of his repeated attacks upon my method / manner of posting my topics. He knows my position...and the method / manner in which I prefer to present my topics; so he can save any email or private message....and just let it go. ( he can just quit reading / replying to any of my posts ) Regards !! _______________________________________________ P.S. Just for the record........... >>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Big small statesmen of the bigger small sphere...[/b] >>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>[/quote] He really doesn't know what the words reflect, with regards to the application of the words he has referenced above..... as the manner in which I presented do not reflect "size" at all. __________________________________________________

Have a nice day. ;DCommiCzar, This kind of wording "Micro-this", "micro-that" is widely used in the lusophone world, too. I fought it but finally gave up. You guys have won the battle witin the lusophone sector, at least.... I always said "micronational world", but "microworld" has become so popular... And not only because of Thomas Leys' website (now defunct). Yours

Greetings And thanks for expressing your thoughts............ It is my personal belief that.....anyone who worries about another's way of presenting an idea, has way-way too-too much time on his or her hands; and probably *might* want / need to concentrate on correcting a few of his or her own faults, long before even attempting to go out and tell anyone else what to do. ( especially...**repeatedly** ) I had really hoped that this little topic was closed, as it went way-way off of it's original and intended course; as I was seeking informative replies, but "once again" he had brought up an old and personal issue of his, which lead to all of the mess...and the thread now being a waste of time. What I did...wasn't what I wanted to do...but was needed; as my reaction was in direct response to his constant nagging, about something that is so minor to begin with; and my reaction was in direct defense of my personal methods of presentation...which he already knew......which leaves one to assume that his constant bitching over *nothing* was merely a means to either unravel a thread...or else...he likes to pick fights.....a fight which he will never ever win. ( he needed to get over it...and get on with other things that are much more important ) He would have better served himself, myself, and the members, if he had contacted me via email or private message; instead of corrupting the thread's purpose, which lead to this mess. ( however, he already knew my view from his past bitchings ) ( if it's not my wording...it's my signature, or it's this-or-that ) Once again, I've stated my position...over-stated; and by doing so, I hope to put this mess to rest. Once again, thanks for your thoughts. Regards _______ _________________________________________________
