A few posts on this website are truly bringing out the worst in people. I bet you can tell which ones I am talking about. It is truly sad because I feel the posts are making their authors seem like much worse people than they actually are, which is usually the case with anonymous websites such as this one. Many people have said things along the lines of "This is something I would say to her face", and if that is true, then post your name. Let people know who you are if you aren't ashamed of the speech you are putting out there. It is one thing to post your experience with someone, it is another thing to ACTIVELY try to slander someone's name, and then attack the people who have had positive experiences with that person.

I am NOT saying everyone has to agree with one another, and of course I am sure people would want to know of negative and positive experiences with certain systems or people involved, but you can do that without being HATEFUL. We all learned how to express ourselves respectfully in elementary school.

I tell my daughters "How you talk about other people says much more about you than it does about them."

TO REITERATE: I am just asking everyone to be more mindful about how you speak. Don't be hateful. It makes the pageant community in its entirety look bad.
