I feel that personal attacks on members of HCAP are unwarranted
Just to be clear. I didn't make a personal attack on any member of HCAP.
I said that it is a measure of the organisation that it is either too arrogant to care, or simply doesn't care how it is viewed when handing out awards that are not deserved. They may still think the award is deserved of course, which would also be disappointing.
My point was that it's a sad state of affairs that they are still making the award and that TCT is accepting it.
To reiterate just once more what I said, it shows that HCAP obviously have as much integrity as TCT in this little matter.
If they are damaged by it as you say, it is in their power to put matters right. So they either do not believe they are damaged, or they don't care.
