Tennis,
I am a Judge at the Cincinnati Center (as you know). I believe in accountability for AOS Judges, but we cannot be accountable for the unknown. You have made numerous posts over the years about plants of yours and others which have been passed over for Awards. To date I have not seen one fact or one species/hybrid named by you. So please feel free to enlighten us. Name names. Which Judges have you voiced your concerns to ? Which plants have been passed and what were the reasons given ? In Cincinnati anyone is invited to sit in on Judging. At the end of each Judging anyone present can ask questions as to why certain plants were not awarded and real answers are given to the owner based on facts and research, and specific qualities of the plant which did not meet the criteria. Everyone has had a plant which they feel should have been awarded and was not. We make mistakes. We are human. I only ask that you give us the chance to answer your questions before you trash us on an open forum. So, enlighten us. We can not deal with the unknown species 'x' which was not awarded because we are 'stupid' or 'scared', this is paranoid nonsense. Give me real facts and situations and I will try to help. I will openly invite anyone to come and visit us in Cincinnati, or contact me personally with any problems or questions they have about Cincinnati Judging.
Best
