On a side note, BVS FOR GRAMMAR NAZI.
Seriously though, I see two issues in my opponent's argument.
1) The proposals have nothing to do with the job.
2) Saying that I'm a bank robber is pretty far from the truth. The 
situation was more like a blinking Vegas sign that said "FREE SOUL 
PENNIES HERE, GET THEM WHILE THEY LAST." I would have been content with 
the temporary removal of pennies and title, but alas, my opponent 
supports my overwhelming wealth of SP, while I do not. While you only 
have 200 SP, or perhaps less, I nearly have 3000. Would it not be better 
to reset the system and make it fairer? But, I digress. The Ministry has 
nothing to do with this. I apologize to Peter for jumping the gun on the 
public displays...but I really would like to help. The Grammar Nazi 
isn't an especially appealing job to me, so I shall be content to update 
your Souls and SP and whatnot.
