I can understand both points of view as Tanser was giving in his opinion on it which as it is a public forum he should be able to do so although on this matter, i disagree completely as i vote in the awards etc and they are good and all the rest of it.
And on the other hand i can understand why people are getting wound up because Tanser is a smart ar$e but admits it but also because the awards are a positive thing so 'what's the problem'? But as people have said, that's all part of a forum to debate and discuss.
Also, i doubt people are going to be put off voting etc Simon just because somebody has a different opinion to them and don't like the idea - i'd like to hope they wouldn't anyway.
But yeah, i can understand both P.O.V'sssss.
