I'd like to make it very clear that I didn't raise/suggest "the OPT out shyte", as I will undoubtedly get the finger pointed by some, you can check with Matt for verification if you like I had my say, as I was entitled, but I didn't take up the OPT out offer either....as I have repeated ad nauseum; take the piss out of me in a lighthearted manner, no worries, but don't get personal, it's not on. That goes for whoever it is aimed at, certainly not just myself.

Matt may well change his mind, who knows?!

Ahem... before anyone starts sharpening their pointy sticks, matt cancelled due to the deletions...not because of the opt out suggestion.

Look what the mods have done now

[Ramsay]

I'm not pointing fingers but it was the minority of you that led the opt out thing to come and yes opt out was one of the reasons for the cancellation

No Karl, it wasn't.

[Matt]

Just to pick up on a couple of points:

The catalyst for the opt-out argument definitely wasn't *Kate* - again I'll reiterate that it came down to the fact that an opt-out list had been announced behind my back without me being consulted. Although I'd prefer there not to be an opt-out list, given that no unanimous solution had been reached, it felt it right just to go ahead with it as it was the fairest solution to all involved.

And although the thread deletions were the main reason behind the cancellation, I can't deny that the opt-out drama didn't have anything to do with it - I'd already had enough crap thrown at me from that, so I wasn't prepared to take any more.

Finally, my apologies for getting a little too heated with my side of the argument last night, but it still stands and I'm glad most if not all of you understand where I'm coming from I will reconsider the 2012 Razzies in the future, and I reserve the right to do so (I.E. no-one is stealing them from me ) but until ALL of the ceremony threads are returned to the forum (including 2011) - whether they've been locked and moderated or not - I'm not budging.

Well as I was the catalyst for the opt out part I apologize matt.
I'm sorry too to anyone who was given a hard time in relation to the suggestion of opt out.
