A very good Saturday to you too, MaryEvelyn,

I expect no reaction from the BFA as the facts are there.

Simply makes folks recall past issues about a year ago that were just as suspect. Whatever their ulterior reasons are... they must be indefensible as the "proof" seems obvious from reading the forum posts.

Yes, it is sad for the winner and all the participants, this time around, as there does seem to be a pall over the entire affair.

Have a Awesome Weekend!

May Wisdom and the knowledge you gained go with you,

Regarding the past issues, that time is fast approaching again and I am expecting a repeat of what happened then. Going on what I see happening here almost on a regular basis it will be the same o, same o. I would love to be wrong but I am not holding my breath.

Hello Jim & Evelyn,

Of course they won't respond. The whole contest started under a cloud when one contestant was removed from the list for no legitimate reason and finished with a crescendo with the wrong person winning.

In regard to the removal I'm willing to believe that Pauline was misinformed about the forum being inactive but she should have checked for herself and shares the blame for not doing so. The misinformation was intentional in my opinion cos those that were active in the community were well aware that the forum was active. Pauline was absent from adland for quite a while so she might not have been aware of that fact. I guess whoever it was thought that the "bumped" forum would endanger their chances of "winning".

The motive as you said Evelyn is most probably the money and it's sad to think what people are willing to do for $200. But we already knew that didn't we. As Ecclesiastes said "there's nothing new under the sun".

Yep, I agree what goes around comes around and we do have patience.

Shalom,

Peter

You know Mary Evelyn and Peter,

As we know the BFA Team has been kinda out of the loop. It would be interesting to know, who validated any of the BFA nominations?

It would be interesting to know if the judges were filling in or what?

It would have been as simple as including a nominated forum as it was declaring that it was an oversight and an apology instead of a correction. IMHO

Seems like something more to me, but that's just me being "the evil Jim", I guess.

May Wisdom and the knowledge you gained go with you,

"Evil" Jim? Don't tell me someone has tacked that name on you. Why, because you call it like you see it? That is not being evil and I would say if someone has called you that, it was someone who's toes you stepped on. All I can say is keep everything honest and above board and no one will get their toes stepped on. I am sure there are others that see things but there are only a few of us willing to speak up and call a spade a spade.

Peter the green eyed monster still continues to cause way too much mayhem here in this community. All you have to do is read the post history once or twice a day and you will see a pattern emerge. Watch as new people try to join in the everyday activities and watch them gradually get pushed away. After a few times they either give up and leave or login in only occasionally. I have seen it happen time and time again. Sad isn't it? There is a handful here that want to monopolize and control everything and sharing is not part of their character.
