We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

Subject: I disagree - the most harmful thing to the organization is the leadership that over looks the behaviors of their contestants, directors, sponsors, etc. yes these forums are harmful, but the cattiness of contestants in person, online, behind the backs of “ sister hood “ takes the cake. This organization is riddled with horrible behavior all around. Accountability on all fronts is essential.

There have always been delegates who handled disappointment poorly. As contestants, we understand that reactions are often driven by heartbreak, frustration, and the loss of a dream. Most of us have experienced not placing as highly as we hoped, and we recognize that pain for what it is. What is far harder to understand is why anonymous adults feel compelled to mock, criticize, and tear down young women after sitting in the audience smiling in our faces. People say things online they would never have the courage to say directly to us in person. That behavior reflects far more on the people posting it than on the contestants themselves, and it certainly does not represent the character or values the MAO claims to promote." on 15:25:33 05/12/26 Tue [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Uh, no they don't. Girls are free not to come to this board. I competed too. Guess what? I stayed off this board. Shaming people into being nice to your girl isn't it. She was an incredibly poor sport and that isn't just going away (NT) No name (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82) 19:23:41 05/12/26 Tue
