This really isn't about the relative merits (or not) of Legume's work. It's a fairness issue--should the site offer a prize and then withdraw it because one of the potential winners annoys them? If they want to give a present to someone whose work better fits their unwritten inoffensiveness guidelines, fine, give them a present. But let's not call it a contest. Let's call a spade a spade, if there's still any doubt, and post in big, block letters on the front page that Legume, alone among all members, is not entitled to and will not be awarded any prize in any contest, ever again. Anything less is cowardly and dishonest, in my view. How do you know that it isn't? It could be about that as well as a few other things including the desire for someone who better represents the community or it could be about none of those things, we really do not know. I am also disappointed that the poll was taken away. I would much rather have seen toxicAngel win by popular vote than hope that the PTB decides that he wins but unfortunately that didn't happen. Hell, if you want to make a comparison in terms of artistic skill, AND contributions to the community it's still clear who should win if it came down to those too people and I don't even know the guy personally.
