Pauline,
I know you know my heart.
I didn't write this because of you.
I didn't need to be anonymous at BFA. When Bogdan asked me to join the team, I TOLD HIM EXACTLY : you know for my troubled English ... but I am ready to work ANYTHING WHAT YOU KNOW I AM ABLE TO DO.
That was all our speech about becoming BFA team member.
What was asked to do - I did.
Kathleen also assumed everything when Bogdan posted at my forums.
Now I will do something what maybe never would do, BUT I HAVE TO TELL HER EXACTLY THAT MY TYPES ARE BLOND MEN WITHOUT MUSTACHES.
LOL!
Today only what is NOT NORMAL IS TO BE N O R M A L .
Sorry Bogdan - just wished to picture how far assumptions may go.

Hi Pauline. Hang in there. You never know maybe Bogdan will bring BFA back again. We will wait and see.

Love and big hugs.

Dear Friends, this is sad news on my return after a wonderful trip to Monterey, California. I have read through all the posts here. I got here from a pm from a friend. Things were getting heated up when I left about my forum winning. It was almost a repeat of about a year ago when my forum won over Ana Maria's. Hers won the next month. I cannot believe what I have read that someone has accused Pauline of accepting a bribe. What bribe??

Pauline had I been here to answer your question about resigning, it would and is a great large NO!! Why should you? You and Joe have done an excellent job with this forum for a long time. Of course, both of you needed time off and to take breaks. It never bothered me WHO was running the forum. I did have some questions on judges, though, because there was one who was negative about everything. Never knew who they were and don't care to know.

Bogdan, I am very sorry that you stopped the BFA because of what 3 discontented people. I do hope you bring it back better than ever and not let the minority rule. If I am expected to not accept the money, it is okay. It is not about the money (of course I can use it, can't we all!!), it is about having a forum of beauty, friendship, nature, and all about God's world of expressions. A place members can go to enjoy and feel at home. Also, it is about supporting the Arts, as in Art Gallery. After I saw the voting, I had no idea my EON would win. I was all ready to congratulate Donna. It is so sad that people ASSUME so much and how wrong they can be.

To all of you good people - Pauline, Joe, Branka, Luka, Kathleen, Georgios, Pat, Sarah, Jill, Terry, Luis - and others who have spoken out here and played your roles without pay - thank you for supporting Pauline and the BFA.

At least for several months this community has been able to function without controversy and it was so nice. It was easy to ignore the negative posting. I have not looked but I feel sure the cruel forum thread about me is still there. Maybe it is time that I investigate internet slander. It, along with several others, should be removed from Adlandpro. This type of communication is unacceptable in a community that is one of the most favorable on the web.

My sincere thanks to all of you and to Bogdan for making the right decisions.

Hi Pauline. You probably remember I emailed you this morning, I just wanted to say this was my being suspicious of my own Award Of Appreciation. I did a small favor for someone the day before and the next day saw that I won that. I then proceeded to be a sh*t when my mom said I should reply to the people at BFA and my Daily Stuff forum for congratulating me. I said I think Branka gave me this because I did a small favor the day before I got the award unexpectedly and I wonder what else she can fix at BFA if she can give me the AOA. I should have emailed you sooner to find out how or why the AOA is given but all I did was complain at home that I don't want to make extra replies, so much that my mom got on like a rottweiler and it's because of me saying Branka just gave it to me and she probably does other stuff. I said so many things to my mom because of my aggravation to her for saying I need to make replies when I don't want to. She's not alone all day, people forget I'm here, she helps me with online stuff and I can be a jerk and not too much fun. She helps me with so many things and it takes her time away from her own stuff and part of her paycheck away when she helps me earn money that could have been hers. I said so much about why did I win AOA and now wish I just would have made the replies without being told, and wish I would have shut up instead of asking why. She does too much to help me and now I wrecked her week with my big mouth asking why I won something and second guessing so much out loud to the only person who helps me. It doesn't matter why or how we win and I shouldn't be so agitated with typing replies to people so much that I questioned a AOA award. I don't want to live here like everyone else does but I should have been happy to win, not irritated about repling and saying so many stupid things just because the online time takes away from playing games. I should have asked sooner but waited a long time and just watched people get mad starting with my own mom from my complaints about my time and asking why AOA and wondering if other and finally asked you directly. Thank you for the AOA now that I know it was from you not from Branka in return for a small favor. I should spend more time online and not be so antisocial when my mom just tells me to reply to something. Jayson.
