To greet the news that a former is starting up a new pageant with "there are too many locals" is a slap in the face to the former. So yes, technically, all you did was give your opinion, but it was extremely rude and in poor timing. If you have a problem with the number of locals, bring that up, but not as a direct reply to someone starting a local -- Miss New Hampshire Forum (Unofficial)

In reply to: 's message, "what really bothers me is that these boards, are in nature , a place to discuss differing opinions. which can usually be dine with out swearing or labeling complaining when all it is is an opinion, plain and simple. I said there are too many locals , not a complaint simply an onservation. and Thank-you to all local directors and titleholders that give back. it will be interesting to see how nasty things get, again. They were quiet" on 05:43:56 04/12/13 Fri

So how should I bring it up? It was not as a direct reply as this is a forum for discussion of many topics. I did not say it to the face , in person, of a former nor anyone else starting a local. But I would , because that is my opinion. in polite society, people are entitled to opinion and can discuss same , in a logical , adult manner withour causing purposeful insult. As was my intention and opinion. too many locals as it is (NT) No name 08:15:12 04/17/13 Wed

Some of you do nothing but complain. You should be happy that another girl will get a chance to go to state and that since this local is in Portsmouth, it might open up the program to some NEW faces for a change (NT) -- No name, 08:33:09 04/17/13 Wed

It is not a complaint but observation and opinion. I could honestly care less because it will not change anything about my life or effect anything for me personally. I will continue to support what I have time for and what I don't , I won't. so, merely an observation , that in mine, and many other folks involved, there are too many locals. it is impossible to go to everything , support all locasls etc...and have a life and resources (NT) -- No name, 09:24:59 04/17/13 Wed

No one told you you had to go to every local, but just because you can't doesn't mean you need to speak up for everyone else. I'm sure people in and around Portsmouth are happy to have a pageant there to attend. No one cares that you can't go. And yes, it most certainly WAS a complaint. An observation would be stating that you wish them well, but in your opinion there shouldn't be new locals. Instead, you greeted the news with "there are soooo many locals as it is now" and went on to complain (NT) -- No name, 09:42:30 04/17/13 Wed

you are ridiculousand clearly easily offended and sensitive. I never felt I have to go to every local nor do I or would I ...and I am only speaking for myself. But do know from conversation that many do feel this way...as were some other opinions on here . Frankly I have given more thought and time to this than I wish to. Good Luck, is that better? I truly do wish the Miss NH program to thrive, but things have gotten tougher across the board and anyone who doesn't see that , is an ostrich. Now, there ae wayyyyy more pressing things in the world than this . But if anyone where to ask, in my OPINION there are toooooo many locals. Have a great day and as I said Good Luck, hope iit is a huge success (NT) -- No name, 10:05:56 04/17/13 Wed

Different poster here, but you seem to have a huge chip on your shoulder. This should be GOOD news and yet all you're doing is complaining about how tough it is and how horrible it is. WHY is it horrible? Is a new organization could to funnel money away from another local? Doubtful. Will a new titleholder take the spotlight from another titleholder? Doubtful. Will a new pageant drain the resources from the state pageant? No, considering each local funds itself. I really don't get the gripe, especially when you say things like "there are too many locals and it's impossible to go to everything" then try to argue that you don't feel like you have to go to everything. Well, if you don't feel like you have to go to everything, then what exactly is your problem? What does "it's impossible to go to everything" even mean? (NT) -- Good for Regan! I'm glad there's going to be another lucky young lady with the chance to become Miss NH, 11:40:03 04/17/13 Wed
