[CQ-Contest] CQWW Contest Committee comments on audio recordings (was MM3AWD)

[Joe]

Exactly!

This all would have been a no issue at all if we all were just given 
"Just the facts mam" from the beginning.

It should be just like a court of Law. If you are found guilty of a 
crime, they read out loud in the court room, what you have been found 
guilty of, and then the sentence, or penalty, for being found guilty.

No one has a trial, and then are told you are going to jail for a year, 
but no evidence is ever shown.

Surely we all have enough life experience our BS detectors go off full steam ahead when someone, anyone, suggests “just trust us…” The fact other committee members have, at times, been a bit condescending when similar issues were raised certainly didn’t help.
