| The statement "The ENnies are crap" was made on a different board. The discussion about the products were done elsewhere- in a podcast and talked about on a board for that podcast- and are inappropriate in a discussion titled "Zachary Houghton resigns as an ENnies judge". If you'd like to debate the products, the information backing up the reviews, or any of that, by all means, come on over!
I believe Zachary believed what he was writing. We don't have the inner workings of the process or judges. If someone is claiming that things aren't nearly transparent enough and others come in and say "everything's fine. It's all fine here. How are you?" I'm not going to take that at face value either.
My opinions are just one small voice. A judge though resigning because he became disillusioned with the system screams to me the system needs improvement. Bend over and do what Zachary says? Hell no. But in the time this argument has persisted, actual changes for improvement could've happened. Even in a volunteer endeavor (I know that too well) if there is feedback staring you in the face after a few serious errors and you ignore it, then you have to anticipate the same mistakes and the same issues to come up time after time.
