I was willing to cut you some slack, because I really thought you just wanted to help out, and I admired that. It's a good thing to do, and to offer.But wow. Are you honestly trying to say that you, having written not a single word in previous Ceramic DMs that I can tell, are somehow better than alsih2o, without whom this contest wouldn't even exist, who has spent I don't know how many hours scouring the web for pics, and generally held this thing together for two years and thirteen contests now?Or are you insinuating that alsih2o doesn't spend time on his judgements?I mean, really, you shouldn't go talking like that when you've got nothing to show for yourself. Also, look at Maldur's judgements. He makes snap decisions that I imagine have frustrated more than one contestant - he's a cipher <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> But what's more important: Comparing your judgements (which we haven't seen yet) to alsih2o's. There's no point to it. Ceramic DM is his baby. And he wants judges to make informed and (in my case overly) lengthy judgements. That has nothing to do with his style of judging, nothing at all. Finally, bad-mouthing a judge is just rude. That's not to say you cannot question a judgement, or discuss it. But we're all happy the judges are willing to put in the time they do for making this contest work, and doubly so for the contest "manager" (all too often alsih2o).I really, really don't want to have such argument in this thread, and almost think the contest itself should get a new one to make it "carefree" again. But you crossed a line here, from disagreement to rudeness. And that needs to be put a stop to.If you want to flame, go to Nothingland, create a link to this thread and flame away. Or, if you have another problem, at least come out and say it directly. ETA: To top it off, the post is from 2002, one of the first (if not the first) contests. You couldn't find a cheaper shot, could you? I was really looking forward to your comments, and I'm always happy when new faces show up in here. But you have to know to behave, at least mantain a basic amount of courtesy and civility. The post above is just... wrong.</blockquote>
