You may feel how you wish about the judge, but my question was: If a judge withholds ribbons, and they don't get anymore assignments, is it because they are a bad judge, or because people just didn't like ================================================= I started judging in 1966 I withheld ribbons that first year. It's 40 years later and I am still judging. Maybe it's because when I withheld I told them WHY or it was obvious Why and I never remember it being because of my x-ray vision.
