Yeah, some people can derive pleasure in being disruptive, and being nominated for having a negative charateristics could be a big ego boost for them. But then again whether it is positive or negative people shouldn't take this thing too seriously. Even if they get a negative award it shouldn't be something that goes straight to their head, like it some kind of awesome acheivement.

We can't nominate everyone, and sometimes those who are not nominated might feel left out, hopely they won't think their presence on MB isn't important.
