Subject: Board Owner Coalition

Don't know what good it will do but I just wanted to let everyone know that I am not in anyway associated with the Board Coalition. Nor are any the Gosney Girls.

Yes, I did ask for all of the posts on the bash board to be removed by the board owner because it was doing nothing but promoting the bashing of these girls, their parents, and myself. Yes, I did tell the board owner (after she refused to remove the posts) that I would have all the Gosney parents contact Voy.com and file a complaint. The Gosney girls are not out to have boards taken down. We just do not want to be the subject matter on boards that do nothing but tear people & kids down. These type of boards do not serve any positive purpose.

The foul language that was posted was not done so by myself or any other person associated with the Gosney Girls to my knowledge. Their are accusations that Amy and I are the board coalition and that we also posted the foul language. Neither of us posted any of that. You can check our IP addresses. They are not aol. And that is who posted the foul language and the board coalition posts. I have Southwestern bell modem at home and a fixed ip at work. When I use my laptop, my dial up account is with ev1 same as our home email address (sd1@airmail.net)

I think if anyone on this board put yourself in our shoes and saw your kids and their friends being bashed you would have reacted the same way that Amy and I have. 2 weeks ago, the same person that owns the current trash board put up the Bashers Annonymos Board and either posted themselves or allowed others to post a picture of a group of Gosney Girls (my kids included) and start posting each childs name and bashed them. In addition, they posted almost pornograhpic bashing about 2 of the older Gosney Girls. Now what kind of responsible adult would allow that to happen? It makes you wonder what kind of person this is we are dealing with that feels they need to have a trash board like this up. When this board was up, Amy and Linda started posting in big fonts. There was nothing foul in the posts. They said "Bashers go away" and things like that. They did this to try to get the board down. No sain person wants to read that kind of garbage about their kids friends. It is just not right. Plain and simple. The board owner took that board down and put up another board immedietly called teh ANTI GG Bash board. Why? What have any of the Gosney Girls done to this person to cause them to put up a board like this? Its specific purpose was to bash this group of girls. WHY? Because they post a bunch of banners on the Texas Board? IS that a sin? The girls are not even the ones posting the banners....it is their proud parents! This person posted on the Texas Pageant Board and got it taken down that same night. The next morning, they put up the trash board and said it was the Texas Pageant Board. When she was caught lying about that, she changed the name to Texas GBU board which was also already set up. Why would this person want to take of the Texas pageant Board and pose as the owner? When she was caught lying again, she changed the name again. And now it si the Texas Beauty Pageant Complaint Board.

She begin positng or allowing posts that specifically bashed the Gosney group. They were bashed for posting banners on the Texas Board. AGain, I ask what is wrong with that? And then they were bashed because they post to those banners and that brings them back to to the top. Again, what is wrong with this? This group posts to more than just their banners???? They were also bashed either by the owner of this board or the posts from visitors that she allowed to stay on the board over a benefit pageant thaty they had nothing to do with other than donating to it. WHY?? Every post on that board was bashing the Gosney group in one form or another. That is why I asked on behalf of the Gosney group to have the posts removed. All those posts did was invite the bashing. I asked nicely that the board owner remove the posts and explained why. She did remove some of the posts but then made a tacky post that she was asked to remove them and she did but she did not want "these people" posting on her board. I asked her again to remove that post and the remaing posts that refrenced the Gosney Girls. I did notify voy.com of my requests. That is how I (and I alone) tried to handle the situation with the bash board. I never posted foul language on that board or any other board. I do not talk that way.

Now, during all this time, i did accuse Lorie C. of owing those boards. I should not have done that and I apologized to her and publicly apologized to her on every board I had psoted that she owned the bash board. I lashed out in anger over my kids and their friends being bashed and should not have. The owner of the bash board took that as an opporutinty to bash me either directly or indirectly by allowing posts to remain. I admitted I was wrong and I apologized for it. I HAVE NOT POSTED ON THE BASH BOARD SINCE THAT APOLOGY!

Now, back to the Board Owner Coalition: There was another post that was made sometime back from this person. Again, it was not me. It was directed at Lisa O. There had been personal information put up about me on the PMS board. I was contacted and given ip addresses that pointed towards Lisa. I asked her about it and gave her the information that had been given to me. She claimed she did not do it and I dropped it. I accepted her word that she had not done it.

The bash board owner is also accusing me of getting a group of people together that have been bashed to file charges or something along that line. I did post 2 messages. One to each of the other 2 people that were being bashed on her board. I did this ONLY to provide them the information that voy.com gave me about getting posts removed from a board. Nothing more. I am not gathering any group of people to do anything about these boards!


I don't know what has happened on these boards lately but it is sickening. All the findger pointing and bashing that has gone on lately had done nothing but divide the pageant community. I will not be a part of it. Everyone needs to ask themselves why their has been a sudden surchage of negative boards come up. What has changed over the past few months and why have the Gosney Girls and myself all the sudden become the target of so many people. Contrary to what is being posted, the Gosney Girls is a very fun, loving group for the most part. Yes, their are bad apples in every bunch. But, the majority of these parents (myself included) we do pageants with our kids because it is fun. There have been many accusations of bashing posts coming from the gosney group. Proof has been asked for and nothing has been provided. Please stop making these accuastions if you have nothing to back them up with. As far as the Granny Mo situation, that is between her and another director, not the Gosney Girls. Please stop tyring to turn it around on us. I did bash Lorie by saying she owned the bash boards and again, I have apologized for it.

I am publicly asking for everyone to come together and stop this non sense. If you don't have something nice to say, just don't post anything. You know, it takes a lot less energy to be postive than to be negative. I for one would like to see pageants get back to what they used to be and all this non sense stop.
