Subject: PAGEANTS Author: Anonymous [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:38:44 09/19/01 Wed Yes, we feel the exact way. A certain director was bashed for having her pageant this past weekend. That decision was hers only to make--but I and I think a few more people that I have spoken too, thought that maybe this was a bad decision. Some people posted on her board telling her this and she actually removed all the negative postings and kept just the ones praising her for keeping it on. We will remember your pageant for future reference. We do appreciate your class and dignity in this horrible tragedy. Thank you. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: My side Author: Anonymous [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:26:30 09/21/01 Fri I did not delete anything until I arrived home Sunday night and my husband saw the board. I was called "inhuman". Everyone knows how much I love the children. That is the only reason I even have a system. I was bound by a contract that the hotel would not allow me to break. We prayed, read a poem and not for one moment did we forget what had happened. We collected money for the Red Cross. No one felt any worse than I did about having to make the decision to continue with State. I am sure the Chathams understand about hotel contracts. In fact, Mrs. Chatham and I just discussed it about 2 weeks ago. You have to cancel or change your date within a certain amount of time. I had no time left. I am very sorry you feel this way toward me. I have a very good ideal who you are and if you want to discuss it with me please call me. If I could have changed it, I would have. P.

Author: Anonymous [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:39:44 09/21/01 Fri >Sounds like some were mad because their opinions were >removed1 That is fine but, why not remove all the >opinions then? First, let me say that I never, ever called you inhuman. That was someone else. I did however state my opinion on this board that I had heard from some people that I know that they thought that maybe it was in bad taste to have your pageant this weekend. I posted here that that was YOUR decision to make. And it was. Secondly--The negative postings were removed. Can't say I blame you, I would have done the same things. It is your board and of course you want it to reflect good. Now as far as your system. I wasn't there and don't know how it went. I do know though, that it seems that maybe your "pageant" mamas may be causing alot of this ruckus. Seems like alot of bigname people didn't win and are starting all this up. I just posted a comment or two about how we felt about doing ANYTHING the weekend after the tragedy. We felt it was more important to us as a family to stay with each other and not worry about the "festivities" of a pageant or any other activity for that matter. I stated this in a calm and unoffensive way and if you took offense to it--I do apologize. That was basically ALL that I posted. Anything mean, hateful or spiteful was not posted by me. That was someone else. I have seen postings concerning judging, past experience, etc. and although they have been interesting to read--that is all I have done is read them. Again--someone else is posting these negative things. Sorry, if my post on your board and here got you upset. I didn't do it to anger you--just to put my point in in a forum that was listing opinions. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: PAGEANTS: response--Click in! Author: Anonymous [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:36:35 09/22/01 Sat I can appreciate your opinion as well as anyone else, but it was taken to heart becuase of me trying to get out of my contract. There was just no way. I don't even come to any message boards other than mine and the Bravo Board. I received sooo many calls that I needed to read them, so I did.. I wish I had not now. I am not mad at anyone. Hurt, yes. All I want is for the kids to have a good year, understand that there is more to winning than just a crown and trophy. That is all. Oh, and I want ALL OF US to be safe in our own country and get along. That is my prayer daily. I do appreciate your time explaining your post. Thank you. I did delete all of the post from that night. I just don't want all of the "talk". Especially at a time where everyone is on edge anyway. Again, thank you for responding to me. Pennie [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: You have a right to express your opinion!!!! CI please Author: Anonymous [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:27:14 09/23/01 Sun OK This is ridiculous! Your post was in no way, shape or form directed or bashed anyone! I think it was nicely written and it was YOUR opinion! I am about sick of this PH crap..She cannot bully people into not speaking their minds on issues. No one should have to apoligize.. Whi is SHE to think she is above FREE SPEECH! I will say whatever I want on these boards including PH to me is 2-faced and not what she wants people to think she is! Thats why she is SO upset ..guess the curtains got drawn huh!
