Doppelganger Screenshot Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

[PiperC]

I would agree with Vaen... you're stirring your own pot and making yourself stew... I don't agree with some of the winning entries either but everyone has their own opinion so it's very subjective. I entered nearly every FFXI art contest and lost them all but it was fun to participate. If you are severely unhappy with the way they do contests I would suggest not entering anymore... as for this contest I believe what's done is done... there is no changing the outcome so there is no sense on dwelling on it.. Do something that makes you happy and take your mind off it

You and Vaen seem to have misunderstood me greatly-- or claim to know myself better than I do. If I feel passionately about something I will engage in constructive debate about it. I'm not causing myself unnecessary stress or grief simply by posting some harmless text in a message board. And I never suggested that they take the prizes away from anyone or retract their announcement whatsoever. These are words you have put into my mouth rather carelessly to paint me a villain. Had I believed that, your statement that I should calm down would seem logical, but I believe no such thing. Should those that care be silent whilst those that don't talk freely?

I merely respond to those that respond to me. Am I loud? Of course. I haven't simply silently slipped away, muted by the assertion that I brew some tea and take a nice hot bath and calm down. (Yet I am already calm?)
