After what happened at the BABA‘s last month, I was really frustrated, and wrote something I should have not written. The idea of the BABA’s is great, but I think the situation was handled wrongly. I was not all that interested in winning. All I was hoping for is a fair competition, in an event where we can celebrate the good Arab blogs, and may the best wins. I think the organizers had several solutions instead of disqualifying of whole categories.

I really respect the people behind the BABA’s and appreciate their efforts, and I’m sure those smart people can come up with better ideas to solve such problems. And despite what happened, I’m glad I was nominated for this year’s awards, and I’m looking forward to participate in next year’s ceremony. Finally, thanks for Mahmood and Haitham because they gvae us the chance to get to know some great blogs and bloggers. Without you, that was not possible.
