   I haven't noticed the awards "chilling" anyone's free speech. It certainly   
   hasn't stopped you or your buddies from expressing yourselves.

   I think you take it all too seriously.

   Criticism is fair commentary, protected by the First Amendment. Note that   
   you are engaging in it in every diatribe you write.

   You are erroneously assuming someone controls the denizens of AUK; my   
   observation has been that they are all free agents.
