Marc, I will endeavor to be as simple as I can in my reply, I hope you will be able to read deeply into the answers, as short as they are.

   If you don’t like the contest sponsors’ ruling, then do something helpful, like John Neal did.

If I had one of those heads I would have also made an offer. After the first offer was made, any further offers would be moot.

   Or maybe sponsor your own contest - one without rules, perhaps?


I routinely hold contests with many lose and vague rules, all with the guidance of a simple phrase “Spirit of the game.”

Ergo, to see other strict rule enforcement within the WEC made me “sad.”

   Why all the outrage over the fact that a contest has rules and that those rules were enforced? The response is especially inexplicable given that the situation seemed to have been resolved quite nicely before it was taken up as a cause celebre.

There was no “outrage,” I simply said I was “saddened” then promptly forwarded this to O.T.D. to show my respect to the forum, and contest. The outrage happened when people reply to my post with sarcasm.

If you want sarcasm just let me know.
