I see a number of coherence issues with the statements of people here, even though the aim of this very blog was to vent disappointment/anger over the way these issues have taken form in the original thread and to help get them cleared up.
Look, people, first off gg.net apparently holds this or similar awards every year and it's not just their award and their rules, these rules also supposedly aren't anything new and not something they came up with because of IdrA.
It's also not like they excluded him because they don't like him or have a grudge with him, but because he's got a history of disrespect towards other people, users at gg.net and staff at gg.net and then casually without remorse cancelled his participation from their event. Anyone who calls gg.net unprofessional over that and not IdrA has awareness issues.
On top of that it's people on TL and people visiting gg.net that had a hard time of just letting it go. The gg.net staff was obviously content with their decision even though they'd have liked to include IdrA in the poll (as well as many other individuals, but you have to bring it down to a number you can work with).
On top of that TL staffers have been among the people criticising gg.net in a less than commendable manner.
I say all of that as someone who used to be a huge IdrA fan even before MicroMedia was formed, because I liked that he argued for what makes sense and didn't pay homage to people's feelings. He was an active user of the gg.net site and argued with people frequently. Looking back, his penalty record is a reflection of that, but I have stopped using that site a long time ago and have no idea what he got those for. Remember Greg Fields saying that he wanted to become a theoretical physicist but decided in favour of progaming then? Theoretical physics because it is precise, there is no room for conflict. Everything can be solved absolutely crystal clear. Hearing that (it was mentioned in a relatively recent interview) made perfect sense after remembering what I respected his activity for. Unfortunately IdrA has an equal disrespect towards anyone he sees as unworthy and doesn't hesitate to express that on almost every opportunity he gets. Doing it to the gg.net staff again was just crossing the line for them, and TL would do the same thing and actually does do the same thing every day - the amount of people being banned from this site for stupidity or lack of civility is simply amazing.
So please, if you criticise something then follow through with it. Otherwise your opinion...just doesn't have any merit. Hypocrisy, emotional decisions, inconsistence, incoherence, arrogance/pride are all enemies of reason.

What the hell? That's basically the same thing, you just used bigger words for the second sentence. More characters per word doesnt make your arguments any better or yourself appear any smarter, its just more pretentious. And while we're on that....wtf at the last line lol O-o
