Subject: So you wish a former Miss Ohio who's spewing hate on the internet wouldn't be called out for her mean behavior here? Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:14:27 11/17/22 Thu In reply to: These girls should read what you say about them aloud in a video 's message, "I was thinking about how mean some of you are & it reminds me of something. My mom used to watch the soap operas from after lunch until she made dinner. She would talk about the characters on “her stories” as though she knew them. She’d talk badly about some, lovingly about others. She’d wish bad things on some like she hoped they’d get what they deserve or he should just leave her. It was funny to us kids that mom talked that way because they weren’t real & in hindsight she wasn’t saying these things anonymously or publicly. That’s the difference. The people you are publicly & anonymously talking about badly or lovingly are real people with feelings. Think about that!" on 16:31:44 11/16/22 Wed [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> Subject: That’s a little different because she put that out for everyone to know her opinion as a former Miss Ohio. It’s not hearsay or gossip. Even in that situation I think people can express a differing opinion without attacking her character or saying hurtful things. For instance, I don’t agree with her opinion. I think Miss America should be more accepting. Statistics show transgender people do not cause any additional risk in sharing bathrooms, dressing rooms, etc compared to anyone else. These are grown women so they can make adult choices if they want to continue to compete in the organization. Perhaps Lora should get some formers that feel the same way and start a Christian pageant system if she feels so strongly.

[> [> [> Subject: You're defending her right (being a former) to say anything- hateful, ignorant, unloving, un-Christ like, with impunity because it's her -opinion-? I'm sorry, but for the adults in this world, actions have consequences. Words have consequences. People judge others on what they say and do. Calling out her hate using her own words is not 'attacking' her character; it's exposing it! She has the right to any opinion she chooses but that in no way makes her immune from criticism of her opinion. She's not a victim here.

[> [> [> [> Subject: The irony is that I wasn’t even talking about the latest Lora commentary in my OP. It was a blanket statement on this board. Lora is problematic. She’s been problematic since she competed at Sweeps. She’s not going to be unproblematic. Since she is a former I choose to ignore her existence. She will likely never be in the public eye again. Her opinion means nothing to MAO, MOSP or anyone else for that matter. She’s trying to be in the spotlight again with that commentary and I refuse to give her the acknowledgement. If you want her to continue to occupy your mind then go ahead. Author: Who gives a hoot about Lora Current anymore?

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: That's not irony!! The irony here is that Lora's 'mean' post was the topic on the board and you decided to create a post to share your reflections on how 'mean' we all are and lecture us: "The people you are publicly & anonymously talking about badly or lovingly are real people with feelings. Think about that!" Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:18:21 11/18/22 Fri [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
