Xpert, don't read so good huh?
Money, in regard to prizes, means nothing to me, but it apparently does to some. They have that right, and the right to advocate for a change.
Yet the mention of it provokes "crying" comments from you. If you don't want to hear more about HC, don't read the posts. Its that simple.
As far as defensive, no. Annoyed with self righteousness, yes. If you disagree with what the person who started this thread has to say, make your point or don't read it; but, insulting comments like your first post are unnecessary.
So, if reading this thread is going to make you vomit, don't read it. Everyone will likely be happier if you keep your stomach contents down.
