Thank you Atty, I understand how you feel....and am sorry for anything I might have done to add to the chaos.
I am with Kat on this one though as far as what she's saying...JJ is not the only one who's feelings were hurt she insulted, ignored, belittle and gave an ultimatum.

It's not a personal attack whis. I'm not pointing out individual posts or picking on words/phrases. It's just "collectively".... it got out of hand.

Sad really. And we've all gotten frustrated with this and probably said stuff we shouldn't. I still consider all friends and I'm not holding grudges or "collecting tickets"...to coin a phrase. But I think it's better for my own personal happiness if I take a break from this contest stuff.

:blink: Not me! I'm never sorry for anything. Well...unless it involves you Whis. :blink:

I felt like I did everything I could as a last ditch effort. You all spent hours on this stuff and it's just idiotic that it couldn't come together amicably. :blink:

Lot of strong personalities here...some stronger than others. :blink:

I just want the people who left to stay...and be here, well...not here this mess...but with us in the PreVet. :blink:

JJ is not the only one who's feelings were hurt she dictated, insulted, ignored, belittled and gave ultimatums.

And took it upon herself to change the eligibility rules midstream--to the draconian 24 minutes after the hour--against everybody's wishes--and contradicting her own previous rules.

PreVet is there for you to celebrate your day and they may have some things they would like you to do. I’d advise you to show up a bit early and find out what they are if you don’t already know.

The Welcome Thread ties PreVet to the contest because it gets you an automatic entry. However the PreVet committee members do not determine if you are eligible for that special Grand Prize on Jan. 1, 2013. For this you must post at least once during the last five minutes of the countdown and the deadline for this post is twenty-four minutes passed the hour.

Please don't wait until the very last second because once you wear the ECF Veteran title, it is too late.

I’m also sorry to inform you that if you have prearranged the time of your turning, you are not eligible for the one prize. Just keep in mind, you are still eligible for that monthly prizes and hopefully there will be more than one grand prize.: )

I asked a moderator to come in and remove some of the post. Whoever does this, would you please leave this one.
Thank you.

Also I must apologize for some confusion I have caused here. I did state that I would except a post at twenty-five past. I meant twenty-four because at twenty-five past they are a veteran and it's too late.
The above post is a blatant violation of everything we have all agreed upon--and that includes J0ker. It is against the old rules and the new rules. She was never authorized to change/tweak the rules as she pleases--at any time she pleases. She was never authorized to send any PMs on my behalf.

I consider jj to be in breach of every good-faith agreement we have ever made.

And Katya you're not the only one who has shed tears over this thing. I've also shed a few over the rift it has caused between us.
Please believe that I have never done anything but try to make PVT better.
My only regret is not pulling out way before the contest when I asked Whiskey if she would be happier if someone took the list. I got accused of childish behavior and advised to just leave her alone.
Now I ask that I be left alone to deal with the contest and to be left alone on the forum. Since some have taken up an effort out there, beyond simply changing their avi, to upset me again. The avi change I don't mind, it's a way to vent a little....the other is using what appears to be nice and normal behavior for an evil intent even though most who know a little about this realizes what the intent is. Behavior like this is putting our friends in the middle. No I'm not saying anyone has to stay out of any thread. Just don't be so obvious what they are doing.

I'd go find a picture of a knife, ax, hammer or whatever to be used on me to slice and dice for making a post but frankly, after trying to work out a compromise the other day that would make both contest and PreVet happy and possible give jOker some breathing space, I don't have the energy.

Now since the rules come back into play for the rest of the contest.
You all need to handle PVT's celebrations/Welcome thread. That is what it did before the contest.
But the minute it looks like anyone is up for that one special prize, it enters in the contest zone. Everyone from here to the end has to follow the same rules that everyone from the past had to follow. Until jOker tells me different, I will not argue the point.

I am closing this thread because it is no longer a working thread.

I realize the closed thread is just a stop sign. It's up to each person if they want to run it.
Any moderator, if there are any more post, then you consider it whatever offense you want it to be.

jOker if you actually come in here again, feel free to use it to relay a message to the group.
I, on the other hand, unsubscribed the other day so I didn't see it popping up due from every bodies reaction. I needed to take time away from this all. If you make some decision that I need to know about just PM me.

In a bit, I will start a new one just for the purpose of a working thread. I will subscribe to it. Keep post in it limited to info I need to know.
