I do understand it: the Willie is a "lifetime dis-achievement" award.  It is all becoming clear to me.
 
This is a tough year, all the good ones have been taken -- I will monitor the thread for nominees and arguments for/against...

Well, actually there's a whole lot of good candidates for the most memorable primitive.

One thinks of the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive "Redstone," poor stupid Beth "EFerrari," grouchy old Don "NNN0LHI," the mountain man primitive "ThomWV," the bitter old Vermontese "cali" primitive, the "Taverner" primitive, "Walt Starr," Fat Che, MoPaul, &c., &c., &c.

Oh, but what a spectacular one-time show it was.

But he contributed only one single post to the entire extravaganza.

And it was a year when nadin's performance went far beyond any previous DUmmy since TomInTib.

What is done is done.  He hasn't contributed much (?) this year, so he won't be in the running this year.

A couple of the clearly Obama knee-pad wearing clown DUmmies stand out to me, PlayingHardball & Prosense.  If you add in DU Jr./Discussionist, Graham4Anything stands out.  Dorkio's combined body of work from both sites has been pretty solidly crazy.  Just my initial thoughts.  I'm certain the pre and post election period will give us some fresh or not so fresh standouts.  It usually does.

Well, true; not everybody's been watching the primitives as long as some have.

One just does what one can; nothing more required.

This is why the CCA award was devised; it's franksolich's choice for a primitive who's oftentimes been overlooked in the voting over the years.

Atman won it last year, and this year, I'm leaning towards the long-gone maudlin waif, the "Mythsaje" primitive.

Graham4Anything is a real standout. It was Cali who got him banned at DU.

Besides the top ten DUmmies, keep in mind these awards:

(a) the William Rivers Pitt, the "Willie," for the most-memorable primitive since January 2001;
(b) the Steven Dawes, the "Steve," for the primitive who most made an ass of himself in 2014:
(c) the Nadin Abbott, the "nadin," for the primitive with the most exaggerated opinion of himself in 2014; and
(d) the Bartholomew Scott, the "Skippy" or the "Barry," whichever one prefers, for the primitive who proved the most-outlandishly paranoid in 2014.

(The "Skippy" replaces the Robyn McGrath, the "Rob," of previous years.)

(e) the group award, for whichever group, formal or informal, of primitives stood out the most during the past year.

(f) the Steven Senti, the "stewert," for the freeloadingest primitive of the past year.

Also, to be consistent in the names of awards, the CCA, franksolich's special award, will be the David Allen, the "Skins."
