I really don't care one way or the other because it has no effect on me at all. I don't do trials and never will because I would totally fail at it. When I see the emblem, the first thought that comes to mind is did they earn it or buy it. So in that aspect, those who have bought it have done nothing but lessen the respect for it. If you buy it and then sport it around like some badge of honor it just plain pathetic in my opinion.
