Subject: Thoughts on predicting/bashing
Date Posted: 10:07:44 03/10/02 Sun
As much fun as it can be to predict, alot of times "bashers" take the fun out of it. They bash innocent kids to make themselves feel better. These kids don't do anything to warrant this kind of treatment. I'm sure they've never gone up to an adult saying to them the things that these "adults" say about them. And bashing usually isn't unfounded, it usually occurs as a result of a parent being upset about someone "beating" their child at a pageant and then they begin a crusade to attack the kid(s) that placed better than their own child on boards. Luckily, most kids don't read these boards, but it is still hurtful for the parents to read. You know NO matter what is said about a child (good or bad) they will only do as good as they can do. And NO amount of bashing will make them do worse at a pageant and NO amount of predicting them to win will make them do better. They do their best and that's all you can ask for. The sad thing is, today it may me my child getting bashed (just a reference), but tomorrow the basher's child may be getting bashed. People need to go by the golden rule of "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you". If you don't want your child talked about in a negative manner, then don't talk about other kids in that manner. These kids deserve respect and not to be treated this way!!!

Re: Well said and I think the same thing is true when posts below try to cut down one pageant therefore making their wins seem less by saying go where the real competition is or glorified preliminary or only will get a win at a pageant because the director is in with the h/m vendors etc. (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:14:38 03/10/02 Sun
True, any win is a good win..and these kids DESERVE credit for winning NO matter what pageant they attended. If people don't like a certain pageant, then they shouldn't attend it, but there isn't a need to say anything bad about the system or those that are attending that particular pageant system.

There also has been alot of parent bashing of alot of innocent parents {and maybe some not so innocent}, but usually it's just someone who wants to see what they can get started and who they can start pitting against each other! (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:24:55 03/10/02 Sun
Re: The people that do this are people who either are JEALOUS becuase their child was beat or they are trying to hurt another pageant due to them not winning there or they are trying to glorify their win even more for some stupid reason (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:31:57 03/10/02 Sun
No you're all off. It has to do with one mother not liking another AND being jealous of the child. Nobody can dislike a child but some parents make it real easy to dislike the parent. Some mothers REALLY think that they are all that, as they say. They are the ones who take the fun out of pageants. (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:38:08 03/10/02 Sun
it's so easy to lie and start trouble when nobody knows who you are! (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:38:57 03/10/02 Sun
I personally can't see how this board ever was supposed to be a good board. No idiot ever can think that you could have a board like this and not immediately start getting opposing "opinions" about who could and should win. This was a loser board from the beginning because this group of people can never be nice. I also totally think this board owner likes to see this stuff. Things are left on here too long and some things never removed at all. I know I have personally emailed to have things removed that have not been. Then defending posts are removed and it is ALWAYS voy's fault. (NT) -- Anonymous, 10:50:23 03/10/02 Sun
Not everybody is going to have the same opinions on everything. Just because someone doesn't agree with your prediction, doesn't mean they are bashing. There are some people on here that do not know how to predict but bash. (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:32:40 03/10/02 Sun
Which is why there should not be a board like this. It is just ASKING for bashing (NT) -- Anonymous, 12:04:17 03/10/02 Sun
No, people just need to grow up and be adults! (NT) -- Anonymous, 13:23:46 03/10/02 Sun
Just because YOU email the board owner and demand something be removed doesn't mean that it should be LOL. (NT) -- Anonymous, 11:35:57 03/10/02 Sun
Well when someone is insulting my child I have EVERY right to demand the post be removed. You people disguise insults and rude comments as someone's OPINION. Well it might be your opinion, but it is also about 80% of the time also bashing. It is one thing to say you don't agree, then name the person you do think should win, but you don't do that. You start knocking down the child as the reason instead of just saying who you think would be a better choice. (NT) -- Anonymous, 12:00:29 03/10/02 Sun
Some people just do not know how to predict. They are mad because their child lost or whatever and they come on here and say mean and hurtful things, things they would NEVER say to the child or parent in person, and they do it because they are able to hide behind a screen. Predictions can be fun! (NT) -- Anonymous, 12:11:01 03/10/02 Sun
