Yes it is a shame and I'm so sorry Atty.

I'm done folks. Not with PVT but with this contest. It has turned friends into enemies. It has turned normally nice people into nasty and childish. I want no more to do with it. If my vote is needed on anything please refer to Tib.

(((hugs))), frannie! and thanks for the vote of confidence

Well if this isn't a nicely wrapped piece of crap with a bow on top? I am sad, my feelings are hurt, I am also angry, and a lot of other things. This is possibly the most ridiculous set of affairs I have ever had the misfortune to be a part of.

First of all, we were invited to have a committee and come up with the best possible set of rules. We worked hard on these rules and we waited. While we waited a few personalities became a little aggressive. Laura, being one of the sweetest people would have a conniption fit if she knew she was the cause that all this went down. Of course Laura wasn't the cause. She was just used as the catalyst to throw poison and hate into our pile of work. Like we needed that. I understand that there is a person here that would like to take over. Even coming from waaaaaay behind, I got that. When one person can veto everyone else on the committee and then, act like it was only a thing that probably wouldn't matter anyway, once Joker had approved our rules, and then turn around and say that even though it was totally the correct and righteous thing to do........ eh, it might be changed if you do this.......and that to my satisfaction. And then drag Joker in here to tell us........ what? Too bad, your help was not necessary. Your input was not needed after all. You are essentially not needed here. No changes, offer has been taken off the table. OH! wait. It wasn't Joker who said that. It was JJ. Joker said that Pre-Vet would be run however we wanted it for the rest of the year. What world is this? I am 60 years old, not in kindergarten. I have owned my own companies and employed secretaries. I was in the business world and then the teaching world for years and I have never, ever been treated in such a demeaning and hateful matter.

Somebody had better explain some of this mess to me.

I went through this before. This is THE SECOND TIME this has happened. You know what they say... mess with me once, shame on you. Mess with me twice, shame on ME! I apparently didn't learn well enough the 1st time. I came back for more waste-of-time stuff!

Good luck with getting that explanation. The last line of j0ker's post said no changes. Also jj said no changes. That's how I read it anyway. I don't know what there is to debate. And if there is a debate, I want it clarified FIRST, to know that I'm not continuing to waste time.

[Just moving my last post from the Contest thread, as requested. I agree with you, Atty.]

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.

we have NO post to add to the new vets' threads as to contest invitation. i will check with classy as to our options .....

edit - classy advises to wait for j0ker.

that means we need to get a post together to direct the new vet to the contest thread. if anybody could work up something to be used tomorrow it sure would come in handy. we have a triple, scratch that, quadruple turning tomorrow!

it should be something along jj's lines so it won't be too obvious that there have been changes

Can't we just copy and paste jj's text for the time being? Why rock the boat? If Classy tells us to wait, let's wait! No?

[Below is all the information jj used to include in her posts. I edited it slightly and condensed it to bare facts--feel free to add your own text and/or graphics! :) (I don't think we should be changing/editing anything before we hear from J0ker. :2c: :) )]


Because you've made it this far, you are invited to participate in the 2012 Veteran Contest!!!

Copy the URL of your Welcome Thread and paste it in the Veteran 2012 Contest Submission.

You may also enter MINI CONTESTS to be eligible for yet another entry (entries) into the Veteran Contest!!!!

GOOD LUCK!
