No way José, you're too late. I made my position clear. I respect yours. I leave it up to the powers that be. No more drama today “Sport has the power to change the world.

OlympicIRL 4,770 Posted December 28, 2019 Author #1502 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I totally understand why people are not happy with bestmen as host, his behaviour towards previous hosts has been appalling to be frank. And I respect those opinions of those who don't agree with Algeria hosting. Just like bad remarks towards previous hosts has been an injustice to their efforts, stripping Algeria from hosting rights after the fact would seem like a similar injustice. I think we are better than that and by showing we can rise above the bad example of others is a more fitting example of what we are as a community. Obviously, bestmen or any future host can still be stripped of hosting rights if they misbehave prior to or during the contest, but until then I would love if you can all get behind this as much as you are comfortable with. Who knows, by giving someone an opportunity to redeem themselves instead of closing the door to them, they might just surprise you. And if not, then it's their loss. But let it be them who squanders the chance to make amends and turn over a new leaf rather than us deciding that they can't. Sometimes it's good to give people another chance.

Wise words, I respect this very much. I’ll wait and see what others do before I make my final decision. I’ve made my thoughts clear, and I feel better about the state of the contest.

dcro 10,182 Posted December 30, 2019 #1504 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Shouldn't this thread be temporarily closed? I mean, upon request from users, TISC became more compact than ever in Denmark. Early opening of this thread meanwhile prolongs TISC to record length... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
