I totally don't get this, what does this asshole care if Tessa wins or not? I am sorry, but I don't see his point. If you let this shit continue AB, then what is the difference between this board and theirs??
Let the Losers stay over there with there women hating bullshit.

Posted by ArcticBear on December 11, 1997 at 00:26:16:In Reply to: Current Situation Regarding BABOY Competition posted by John Wright via ArcticBear on December 10, 1997 at 23:43:51: Thank you John, I believe I'll address your issues one at a time. 1. First, I am NOT trying to attack you personally. I am just trying to discusss the way you and a few gp's board's regular's way of doing things. So don't take it personal. Did not take it that way and hope you take my letter in the manner in which it was offered, a simple statement of concern2. You talk about fairness. Then please explain why a few guys in GP's board openly confessed using multiple email addresses to cast their vote? click here and read all the sub threads. Yes several people have used mutilple email address to vot for Tessa. I have been over to the Bay Area Babe website to confirm what exactly is the voting rules. Although this is not the way I would conduct such a competition it appears there are no specified rules stating what is or is not acceptable as far as voting. Some places allow you only one vote. Others allow you to vote as often as you like. Your site for instance seems to allow you to vote in your comptetition with the same email account multiple times but not within a 24 hour period. So this discussion of violation of the rules really is moot. Since no rules are listed I can only conlclude there must be a mechanism interally to screen votes, or voting can me done multiple times.3. Do you realize that what you did was not only a disgrace to Tessa, but it may jeapardize her qualification? Well those are pretty harsh words. I think it remains to be seen if any rules were actually violated. As for Tessa, she is a contestant. Not those who may have overzealously campaigned for her. But lets keep in mind the numbers. Tessa was in a commanding lead long before talk of organizing a campaign ever took place. Further do the math, it is unlikely that multiple voting accouts for all of the votes she received. There are a lot of people out there monitoring the message boards. I suspect that the numbers for Tessa are far more representative than is being implied.4. This incident is an perfect example about what is wrong with GP's board. It is OK to favour the Nevada girl. It is OK to have different view point. But it is not OK to chnage your ethic and judgement in order to make the Nevada girl happy. It is also NOT OK to bash other poeple who happen to hold a opposite view. Have you ever wonder why some people is so mad about Nevada? One simple excuse is that they are cheap or they are against women. My friend, this is not the whole reason. When all of you guys try everything to please the ladies, you are not being fair to the other johns! Have you ever wonder what you did will hurt the ladies in the long run?
That's a little judgemental don't you think John. I for one would never tell you how to operate your board and frankly, our regular contributors have pretty much defined the tenor of GP's board just as your contributors define yours. I am of the belief that each forum has a differing and probably irreconcilable view of prostitution in Nevada. Pointing fingers and calling names is not of any benefit to any one. Yes we have some over zealous people here and I might add you have some at your site. I do not embrace your philosphy as you seem to not embrace ours, that doesn't mean your wrong, or we're wrong. Just different opinions. And actually I don't see what this has to do with the issue at hand. 5. I did not think what I did was right. But if you are campaigning for Tessa and even went to the extreme of using multiple email to cast vote, do you have the gut to challange me of what I did to retify the situation? Two wrongs don't make a right (but three lefts do) Yes John, since you ask, I do have the guts to challenge it. The members of our board undertook a campaign to help out a friend in a contest she was in. The motives were pure, and it remains to be seen if the methods were proper. Somehow I do not believe after attempting to find the rules that there is really any problem here.
You for some reason have decided to respond to this action assuming, by your own depiction, the entity who is going to bring justice to this contest and rectify the problem. You had no vested interest, and it seems your only reason for getting involved is to pit the participants of your message board against ours. Honestly John, I don't see how this can accomplish anything but hard feelings among many.
I have mentioned in my letter and posts here, that these two forums have very different views. Frankly I don't agree with the tenor of your board or many of the opinions in their posts. Obviously you feel the same. You are right, name calling and inflamatory posts are uncalled for. There is no reason we cannot be friends even though we disagree on some points. GP and I are perfect examples of that. Hense forth, and I have discussed this with GP, I am drafting a rule for this board that will preclude negative critisisms about rival boards from being allowed here. Simply stated we are not going to permit trashing, bashing or putting down your message board or it's posters in this forum. I would challenge you to do the same.
I cannot control the actions of individuals nor can you. There is bound to be some disgruntled people moving between the boards. I will handle the ones that come here to instigate trouble and you of course have the inalienable right to do the same.
As for the contest, I believe the it would be in alls best interest if with leave the politics up to the participants of the board and leave the adminstration out of it. I apprecitate your willingness to discuss this issue and do not take offense at you presenting your feelings in a frank and open mannor. I hope you accept my comments in the same manner. You are free to post here at your convience as always.
Sincerely
An Ajectival

I understand, appreciate and applaud what you are attempting to do - put out a brush fire before it becomes a forest fire. I also understand how hard it must be to moderate and direct the fire fighting efforts.
Asking for restraint is also commendable and turning the other cheek may apply as well. But when sucker punched repeatedly it do get a little tough not to defend yourself.

To my suprise, my post, which had been these last night, has mysteriously DISAPPEARED from his site.
This is a interesting state of events.
