Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful news. And a more worthy member cannot be found. Congratulations, Arisztid. ;-)

NO POINTS FOR THIS ANSWER, PLEASE! One of the most important aspects about Answerbag, to me, is what I learn from those I interact with on here. I have more fun and learn more about others through the people who are ready and willing to talk about a variety of subjects. Arisztid is one of those people. He is a passionate man in his convictions, straight forward in his manner, plays devils advocate well, and has a darned good sense of humor! That makes him an honored friend of mine here on Answerbag. Congratulations, Arisztid!

I am honored to be able to congratulate my friend Aris on his rise to Swami! He is not only a great friend to many here on AB and a wonderful contributor, but an excellent role model -- showing us all that we should proudly stand up for what we believe in and who we are! This is a well deserved honor for an honorable man!
-
CONGRATULATIONS Arisztid, you're the best. Chief, thanks for reminding us, I haven't been on in a while

Congrads Arisztid! I enjoy your answers!

Congratulations Ari. Keep up the work and stay on thier butts! Mark

Congratulations, Arisztid, on your becoming a Swami. As The Chief said, I have always admired your courage to speak out and stand by your convictions. You have succeeded in making the Answerbag a platform where the traditions, culture and current predicament of Romani people is discussed and more people are made aware of the Romanis. You have also been a leading force behind the COAT movement in the AB. I very much appreciate all the good work done by you. Continue the good work. All the best.

Congratulations Arisztid!

I have to say I have alot of admiration for Arisztid. I find his questions and answers to be thought provoking and intelligent. AB would never be the same without him that is for sure. Congratulations Arisztid. You are one of the most respected members on here and I am glad that I've had the opportunity to have been able to have interaction with you on here.

I'm so glad to see this question!!! Thanks the Chief for bringing this to light for us. And super duper, big and bold CONGRATS!!!!!! to you, Arisztid. You are such a gentleman and a gentle man, honorable, generous and kind, who always stands on his well thought out principles. AB could use a dozen more like you. (((((HUGS))))))
-
This sure beats being persecuted on Y!A for daring to speak up and call a pinhead, a pinhead, doesn't it? I hope to run across your Q & As for years to come. You always have something thought provoking to share with us. So Congrats, and Thanks!

Congratulations, Ari!!!!! Fine achievement, my friend! Glad you came back to AB and grabbed your well-deserved new badge.

*Bows* down to the new Swami... Congrats to a man I respect for his life long commitment to his people. Keep up the fight Aris until the truth is known! I respect his views on a variety of subjects he has shared with me here on AB and off. He is also a Senior COAT and has worked tirelessly in this role, I could not have done this without him. Have I said thank you lately? Well a big thank you!! We are all better people for having known him.
-
CONGRATS! He's totally awesome, and on my friends list :) Not only a role model AB'er but a role model person: humanitarian and has such a heart warming compassion. If I could give him more than +6 points on this site, I would.
-
I do!!!!! Arisz is a love. Great work, Arisztid! You are a jewel in the Swami turban! [And if it weren't for the Rrom, Franz Liszt wouldn't have written any interesting music.]

-
Congratulations Arisztid, oh knowledgeable one. Swami is quite an honor and achievement! I hope you celebrate big time! +5
-
Congrats Aris!
-
I certainly do. Congratulations my dear friend for an achievement that is truly earned. You have brought to Answerbag many words of wisdom and deep thought with style and class equaled by few. Your contributions to the COATs are nothing less than stellar as you have tirelessly compiled and scribed elements that both help both Answerbaggers and serve as examples of what we do as a group. On a more personal level, you and have stood with me in the shining moments and even more so in the darkest hours that reamin unseen by AB. Your caring, thoughtfulness and compassion make me grateful to have you as my friend.

"and our lastest SWAMI award goes to... ARISZTID!!!" congrats to you ari. =P
-
CONGRATULATIONS ARIS, I am so sorry I am late you really deserve your plaudits my friend.:)
-
Ari. You are one of the few I will miss on AB when I call it quits very soon. You have such humor and wisdom. You treat others how you want to be treated and not the way they actually treat you. How many people can do that? You are what makes AB special. If the whole world followed your wisdom and actions what a great place it would be to live. You deserve this party and all that goes with it. I am glad I could help you celebrate this.
-
CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS to you Arisztid!!! Keep it up!!! (((HUG))) . Thanks for the party The Chief!!! +5

This just shows that you're bull headed and stubborn.8:P
-
Congratulations Arisztid! Sorry I am late on this but I just got out of the PB.
-
Congratulations Arisztid. Usually I just pass right by these congratulatory questions, but you are one who deserves the title. You have earned it with wisdom, not glib remarks, information from actual knowledge, not just cut-and-paste from wikipedia. You and I have not had much interaction, but what little we have had made it clear to me that you are someone I can greatly respect.
-
Big congratulations for reaching Swami, Arisztid! :-)
-
Congratulations Arisztid. Very well done to you :)
