1) my personal feeling, built upon several online incidents, that there´s a core group of popular people on ENworld and CM that...well, let´s say they are like old boys. That´s the nicest I can put what I think of this group. And 95% of all people involved with the ENnies come from this group, it seems. Oh, and even if they aren´t elected or anything, they still get access to vital and important information, as I understand at dinners and such. Thusly I think the old boys would rather cover something up "for the greater good". The style of posting in the "evidence" section supports this, as well as shows (to me) a certain contempt for fans & authors ("kiddie table" etc.")

2) the history that is unveiled. The history of how former mistakes have been handled (link-submissions, non-reviewed entries).
"SNIP"

I do not pretend I actually KNOW what is correct. But I damn sure know what it smells like.

So, there you have it, and I can assure you that´s how a number people will think. Take care, and I hope for us all the ENnies will come out stronger & with better communication in all directions out of it.

You do realize we are taking about GAMES, right? Now, if this was a huge, corporate, profit-making undertaking, sure, I'd be concerned, but since it is a number of people who on their free time decided to give something back to a hobby of theirs, comparing it to dirty politicians is exagerated at best.

And since you seem to have such a hard time separating your personal feelings from a HOBBY, maybe you should just ignore the ENNIES and move on to something more substantial to be concerned about.
