Was thinking about it again while doing dishes today morning and definitely cannot agree with underlined part:
sure we want the ME to be nice and friendly event but I don't think it's anyone's business why a painter decides to participate. As long as she/he fits all requirements and paints model before the deadline it's all that should matter

It is a friendly event indeed. It’s about fun, surprises, gifts and bringing us all closer. I have a heap of e-mails proving that people treat like this. I don’t have not one message saying “Oh, what will I get?“, “I still didn’t get mine, and it’s after the deadline!”. Quite the opposite, I have e-mails from folks sharing their concerns and worries: “will he like my mini?”, “I really tried to find a mini she’d like to get”. That’s cool, fun, nice and inspiring.
If someone’s ONLY motivation is hope to get a free mini from a top-shelf painter (yay, few hundred bucks saved), then yes , I would call that person an asshole. Of course, I’m not able to check anyone’s motivation and thoughts, so it’s just a theoretical statement.

I know, I know.
But what you wrote reminded me the discussion about MotM voting system we had a while back and since some thoughts came to my mind while playing home - decided to release them, that's all
Still don't think calling anyone asshole for what she'he thinks is just wrong, it's deeds what matters and what should be judged. My 2 €-cents.

oh, I can definitely call someone asshole for what he thinks (same the other way, obviously).
but, we are going to much into OT. I'll be happy to present my PoV in PM, if you wish.

Not necessary.
