Which, I will tell you, I think is bullshit. I have mostly kept silent about it, but there is a big part of me that thinks that was an arbitrary decision made early-on to try and rig LOTY for BMJ. Also, the use of the word "Emeritus" is inappropriate for any active lolcow.
That said, I do agree Nick probably wasn't gonna win this year anyways, even if they reversed that decision and permitted him to be nominated (which I know a few people were hoping for), so it's not worth bitching about too much (thus I haven't).
