CW Awards for 6th-13th May

Another FRAZ, are you? :p

Disappointed you still haven't given your speech of thanks in your acceptance of this week's Saj. :(
Well, my secret is out!

As for the Saj, a belated thanks! I appreciate it. I was just afraid that coming here and saying thanks may seem…rude. I won the Saj after all, which is a rant. Though I didn't intend the tone of my post to be angry/rude, it may have come off like that. And I didn't want to pat myself on the back for something like that and offend the person I was originally addressing.

You are? :blink: I was only joking...

Haha, SJS ain't like that.

I did think that, TBH. The Saj is an award that sometimes will need to be handled delicately, if it's awarded for a post that's in direct reply to another poster. I did think carefully before awarding it, because it was very much (as I tried to convey in the original post) only a semi-rant. FWIW, it was an excellent example of how to win a Saj of this type (a rant in direct reply to another post) without being remotely rude.

The Saj is meant to be for something completely random which is a bit of a bizarre rant to be honest.

Maybe different award-givers will take different perspectives...
Maybe then they ignore the reason the award was set up in the first place and why it was so sparingly brought up (hint, the clue is in the name and the circumstances behind it)

I am indeed. Though I would rather be known as Fusion to avoid any confusion, as I said before. By the way, no matter what he says, it's spelled Faraz. :cool:
Oh, certainly. It'd be kinda confusing commenting on the latest tete-a-tete between FRAZ and Faraz. :confused:

Purely and simply, things don't always stay as they started. This includes awards. IMO Husseys get given out far too easily, and certainly Agarkar\Mohammeds do. But I'm not responsible for either. Given that I am now responsible for the Saj, I shall choose the conditions for its being awarded.

Change the name for it then, because calling it the Saj will not be appropriate if you're changing the basis of awarding it.

Grow up you two. marc, we know you don't like Richard. Either put him on ignore or stop trying to pick a fight with him every two minutes.

I wish some people would use ignore more often. It really is an excellent tool. :)

More people should use it.

I do and I love it :)

Friendly place this. Its like stepping through those swinging saloon doors and the man playin' the pianna slams his hands down on the keys and everyone turns round to look at you.

Only this time i'm inconspicuous and looking on from the sidelines :ph34r:

Although I seem to have revealed my presence now

>>>>>>>>>>WHOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHH<<<<<<<<<<<<<

And Heath Davis disappears over the horizon in an almost inperceptible mess of moving arms and legs.

I agree.

Although I only have two people on my ignore list. Probably best not to say who though. :laugh:

But what if Heath Davis sees a mirror?
