    People entering anything. Whether or not they are interested in the prize especially when they are from specialist or fan based sites, or for families/child orientated.

    Very selfish/greedy.

    People calling forum members nasty names
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Our lass, I agree with you completely. I accept that people have different views on entering comps to sell on prizes. I don't mind the debate, what I mind is when people are attacked and called names for having an opinion.

    But that poster was then called names and that doesn't make for a very friendly forum, does it?
    I thought the reaction was harsher than the original comment ... but that's just my opinion :)
