Subject: A formal request
In reply to: rose8699@cox.net please help 's message, "pageant directors are helping out and being leaders in the community" on 11:12:15pm 09/ 4/05

The original post here was not brought here by Miss Harris for the purposes that have transpired. I have formally written to the board owner of this forum asking that the good intentions of both Miss Debbie Harris, as well as myself, remain such. Therefore, I have asked that this entire post and all its replies be removed.

I do not wish to bring others misery, but happiness. If this subject remaining in this forum is bringing others this type of misery, and is only going to cause my intentions and that of Miss Harris' misery, then it really need not remain.

Thank you to anyone who read what they did and took my intentions for the good. That is how it was meant to be taken. My thank you's to Miss Harris for originally seeing it as intended.

Good Day,
Rose

[> [> You should want all of your correspondance erased... -- ashamed perhaps?, 9:09:12am 09/ 6/05 [1]

Rose,

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you'll notice...there would probably have only been one or two remarks made, but YOU kept FEEDING the fire with your responses. You are to be blamed for this - you can blame the board or the poster if you want - that is just a cop out. You responded rudely to someones opinion...they responded to yours - so on and so forth. I personally, would also want these messages removed if I had been stupid enough to sign my name and be so blatantly rude and snooty. Hopefully the moderator won't erase this group of postings so people can know what you are like. You must learn to rise above criticism...that is what makes a "good" director and queen of any sort. I hope you can find a way to rise above this and make peace with yourself. Obviously it disturbs you that people are questioning your motives...the way you have fired back at everyone has confirmed these suspicions. You may not be doing this for the money, but you are certainly doing it for attention...not the kind you wanted?

Oh, and by the way - the reason I don't mention my name is because I don't care to parade around as a do-gooder and have people pat me on the back...I personally have refugees living in my home...we are scrounging all of our money right now (with gas prices the way they are - my husband commutes to work). My city is FULL of refugees and is taking a huge financial hit. We are only 30 minutes from Louisiana, so many people are here. EVERYONE is helping where they can - ALL THE TIME! A trophy is offensive - let's stop talking in terms of how many loaves of bread - instead, how much gas or blankets. There are children here without parents. Our public school system is full...my business is dying because people can't afford it. I am cooking and cleaning for several wounded families right now and volunteer at the local refugee shelters. So, yes - I find your bragging offensive and your encouragement of bragging as well. If you have the time and energy to do that - then you have the time to do other things that are more helpful. So many of us are already doing all we can. My husband is going to Mississippi on Friday to help people start restoring their homes...pulling up wet carpet, replacing windows - hard labor. I would go too, but I have people here who can't cook or clean for themselves and they need help too. I suppose I could give out my name - but I think that would be shameful. I think that would be pompous. I think that would be like YOU.

Besides - as long as I don't include my name - you can't "libel" me. hahahahhaha
