This board invites the worst version of people to come out and hide behind their computers. I agree if you have a relative or child you of course want to defend then the clawing and biting begins. Perhaps we group together and shame the nasty ones on here. Refuse to participate and decide once and for all if it isn't truly about the pageant or if what is said will be so awful if would wound perhaps don't say it or respond.
