I deleted the post about the San Diego pageant and their judging issues, as well as the comments about the field director Kathi Baldwin, and her alleged feud with someone named Kathi Hikawa. Look, I don't take sides - especially when I don't know the people. The only Kathy's I know are Kathy Bates (the actress), Kathy Griffin (the stand-up), Kathy Najimy (another actress), my cousin Kathy (recently retired, did something financial), and the girl who let me cheat off her in Russian class freshman year in college so I wouldn't flunk. Oh, and ex-model turned bedding and lamp designer Kathy Ireland.

I would hope that the adults on this board can learn a thing or two or ten from the contestants who have been posting recently. Kudos to these young women for being willing to express themselves SANS ANONYMITY and to support each other unconditionally. The worth of this program, which I hold very dear, has just skyrocketed by the words and deeds of these young ladies, and I would like to add my praise to Leah Cecil Tibbetts for doing something magical to create the atmosphere that allowed and encouraged the class of 2013 to bond so closely with each other, and to Katie Wayland for having the guts to express herself forthrightly in a mature manner that didn't needlessly offend people.

Please learn from them. They have much to teach.

I check this board at least once a day in most cases, and sometimes several times a day. But work and real life occasionally intrude and some posts pop up and get out of hand pretty quickly. I can't sit and watch this 24/7, nor should I have to. Please clean up your acts.

[> Subject: Well then moderator....since you check so frequently. Prove you are not in favor of the bashings and from now on remove any and all posts that bash a current of former contestant on this board. You have left numerous negative and untrue posting on this board, which makes YOU a major part of the problem with this board. I challenge you to do your job!!!

[> Subject: The moderator shouldn't have to "clean" up the message boards after anonymous people post nasty comments. The people posting need to have accountability for their actions. Again, if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all! *This is the lesson that the entire class of 2013 is trying to teach you all! Please have some respect for others!

[> [> Subject: So true Marina. But when the moderator is part of the problem they need to be called out on it. Also, the job of the moderator is to moderate. But, yes everyone should be adult enough to self moderate. But, unforunately, that is not usually the case, so that is why these boards have moderators.
