I don't see where I attacked you, Paul? I simply said I didn't agree with your approach.
What makes a legitimate competition? Surely that's subjective.
I don't agree with your assertion that David doesn't understand what's involved in planetary imaging. When I won in 2007, his commentary at the time made it very clear to me he knew exactly what was involved.
I'm not disagreeing with your entitlement to an opinion. I have no doubt that others will agree with the sentiment, and I have already stated in my post above that I also believe some adjustments are required.
I also agree that you are allowed to voice your opinion. You can absolutely do that, which you have.
At the same time, I am equally entitled to disagree with your method. It's not personal. I simply don't agree that attacking the competition, the judge, and the other category winners is a "nice" way to go about it.
I do care whether I win or not - I go to the same amount of effort and cost in printing and sending and entering the images as you and everyone else.
There was absolutely no personal attack in my post. I disagreed with your method and some of your assertions. I'm entitled to disagree too.
