Am I the first person ever to receive a "PARTICIPANT" ribbon?!?! I just got back score sheets from a competition I entered a beer in and didn't do very well. Enclosed was a green ribbon stating simply "PARTICIPANT". My score sheets were pretty harsh and I'm pretty sure the ribbon wasn't intended to be insulting, but I take it as such. I am a grown up, not a small child that did poorly on field day or a team sport. I didn't score well and I will take the comments to heart and brew again. If you run/organize competitions please don't send out such ribbons. I would have much preferred a sticker or something like that with the competition logo that signifies my participation in it's place. Any thoughts??
