If the OP had just emailed STW with the opinion that the “prizes” were, he thought, “getting a bit lame” then fair enough. But to leave a completely negative personal opinion on the front page comments of the article was a bit silly, IMO 😉

Have a quiet word/discussion by all means, but moan in the comments, nah, i don’t think so. I’m with STW on this one……..

Not strictly true. I’ve just looked at his history; of the fifteen threads he’s started, only nine of them start “WTD:”

I think this should have been on the caption competition thread.

Nah, the prize isn’t a £7000 wonder bike, not worth it.

Wonder if the OP does the euromillions when its ‘only £20mill’ rather than 95?

Hows about some baby Guinea pigs?

NOT LAME

I’m with STW on this one.

The pub analogy above is spot on. If you don’t like the beer, drink somewhere else.

if a pub offers free beer, and someone, who’s mate bought him a drink, starts shouting round and outside the pub how ‘lame’ the free beer is, how long will the landlord/owner/resident grumpy put up with it?

Exactly.

I’m not a subscriber, so feel free to disregard. Reading between the lines maybe the OP was a bit OTT with the comment, no real need to post anything negative – if you don’t like the competition then don’t enter.

Assuming that’s the entire correspondence between STW and the user, then IMO STW’s response was a little OTT too – essentially politely telling him his subscription is cancelled and forcing a refund on him wasn’t the best way of handling it. A polite reply would have sufficed, and saved this thread from existing and any bad publicity that comes from it.

I wonder which of the competitions I entered were considered lame. I better not enter any more just in case I’m labeled lame.

Again. 😳

Can’t us non premier members have a Tuesday treats but due to us being non subscribers the prize be truly lame. I.e a dust cap or one brake pad? Just an idea
