@ponderable saidI didn’t enter and I shan’t be voting.
All in all we have a very slow voting process this year. I do hope it is due to people having difficulties to decide between very high quality stories.
@divegeester saidWhy wouldn't you vote? Don't you think the writers deserve our recognition?
I didn’t enter and I shan’t be voting.
@torunn saidI won’t vote primarily because I didn’t read any of the entries and I didn’t enter because I’m not interested in putting hours of my quality writing time into a competition run in an environment of petty partisan small-mindedness, dishonesty and obvious personal bias.
Why wouldn't you vote?
I don’t normally read this thread, I just happened to notice ponderable’s comment about lack of voting.
@divegeester saidOk. I think the competition adds to the variety of threads and topics, and it is a rare occasion. It only takes a small effort of us to read through, no trouble. But we feel differently about this and it has to be accepted.

@torunn saidThe completion is a good idea, adds variety and it is a rare occasion. I can see the appeal I’m just not interested in reading or entering for the reasons given above.

@divegeester saidI don't know what a podcast is.
In the same vein of principle, do you think Indonesia Phil and FMF “deserve our recognition” for the hours and hours of work put into the podcast » From Colchester to Sulawesi?
Let me add that since they put many hours of work into that, of course it would be nice if they have people's recognition and appreciation.
@torunn saidAnd although you felt compelled to challenge me in this thread on showing appreciation to something a forum member has produced, you have never thought of challenging all the partisan detractors in FMF’s thread?

@divegeester saidI think you challenged this thread by saying you didn’t enter and you won't be voting. You didn't have to say that.
