You know, this is just not true - no matter how many times you or anyone else says it.
Just because someone has
an opinion that it's "not an astro image", how does that deserve moderation? Why should that post be deleted? Under what rules? Because 1 or 2 people got offended by it?
This is not a nanny forum. We're all adults here. I take exactly the same type of images as the Moon/plane one that won, and I have won competitions with those images as well. I did not get offended by his assertion that "It's not an astro image".
Because I know it is. And you know it is. So who cares what one person thinks? If you think it's sour grapes, then call it sour grapes and move on. Or just shrug it off and move on.
But i'm certainly not going to delete the posts. Just as we didn't delete Leon's posts that said the overall winning image wasn't all that great. It's one person's opinion.
It would not have mattered who made the claim - the moderation would be the same.
