I'm pretty shocked and disappointed by that myself. I do realize why people might choose the opportunity to remove a formidable player from the game. There have been so many outcries, though, over this being a writing contest and not a popularity contest, and as a good writer, you deserved to be in the top 50.
When you think about it, this was the grand chance for people to put their money where their mouths are, and it didn't happen. That saddens me. I'm not holding it against LJ Idol, though, as I came into the competition knowing how the desire to win changes people, if even temporarily.
I will miss having you in the competition. I'm sorry it ended this way for you.
