Subject Author Date According to you who should win? (NT) No name (NoHost/172.58.53.251) 18:43:14 05/10/26 Sun I’m sure FL has a few more great options other than her they’ll be fine (NT) -- No name, 18:46:21 05/10/26 Sun (NoHost/172.56.68.24) Sadly, your HATE did not allow you to comprehend the post. The author did not defend Jones or any other candidate. Instead they merely pointed out fact and truth. You do not like Miss Jones, that is certainly your prerogative, however the constant bashing of Miss Jones is the very opposite of the Miss America mission. Is it really necessary to continually say hate filled, unkind remarks about her? (NT) No name (NoHost/142.190.162.238) 09:19:49 05/11/26 Mon I will chime in here. Jones publicly posted a very sour and disrespectful post that made her look very bad. She was very upfront and direct about the way she felt about the winner and herself not winning. The post did not go over well and she now seems like a sore loser and a hater. She chose to make that post knowing full well people would see it as her social media is not private. She also made the choice to come back and compete this year, knowing that post was heavily discussed on this board last summer. So with all that said, Jones has subjected herself to this backlash based on her own behavior and faults. Unfortunately the things you post (whether you try to edit/clean it up or not) will follow you forever. To my understanding she has not made a public apology nor has done much to try to turn this around. So it’s her fault if this follows her all the way to the Miss America stage. (NT) -- No name, 13:29:47 05/11/26 Mon (NoHost/172.56.66.54) The poster is not defending Angelica Jones. The poster is pointing out what Miss America is supposed to stand for. The 2 are very different things (NT) No name (c-73-255-122-212.hsd1.tx.comcast.net/73.255.122.212) 10:41:45 05/11/26 Mon When it begins with "enough bashing on Angelica Jones," it's a defense of her. End of story (NT) -- No name, 20:51:48 05/11/26 Mon (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) Asking people to be civil and reminding badgers that this is an organization of female empowerment is not defending a delegate. It is simply an adult request prompting posters to be civil and stop acting like the playground bully. Apparently the Miss Florida organization has no objection to her returning to compete again, so lgive it a rest! (NT) -- No name, 21:43:36 05/11/26 Mon (173-31-234-140.client.mchsi.com/173.31.234.140) Telling people this is an organization of female empowerment while requesting they not criticze a woman who literally bashed not only the organization but the female who beat her, is at its core, hypocritical (NT) -- No name, 00:04:33 05/12/26 Tue (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) What happened to not stooping to her level? (NT) -- No name, 07:26:08 05/12/26 Tue (NoHost/172.56.61.135) Your post clearly demonstrates your total lack of understanding of hypocrisy! Hypocrisy occurs when a person claims to believe in certain values, morals, or rules yet fails to follow those same standards in their own actions. For example, someone who constantly criticizes others for bashing while regularly bashing others, would be considered hypocritical. The term is used to describe people who expect better behavior from others than they are willing to demonstrate themselves. Hypocrisy damages trust and credibility because people tend to respect honesty and consistency between a person’s words and actions. -- No name, 12:21:02 05/12/26 Tue (173-31-234-140.client.mchsi.com/173.31.234.140) Anjelica Jones stated her opinion, you have the right to accept or reject her opinion. She is a human, she made a mistake, we all do as mere humans. Constantly bashing her is not changing the fact she said what she said. If you support the mission of Miss America you accept all the delegates. Hypocrisy is claiming to support the organization then anonymously bashing any delegate. Your hypocrisy is just as damaging to the organization as any post Jones or any other delegate might express. Franchises are struggling for delegates, many programs were forced to cancel their competitions the past year. Seriously, please examine your actions, evaluate the ramifications of your post and decide to either support all members of the organization or walk away.
