Also, many of these guys have sponsors who have given them shirts. I know the small family western store I work for gave Tyler Pierson all 10 of his jeans and shirts when he qualified last year. When someone is being kind enough to give you something, you smile and accept it. Although I think "pink night" is for a great cause, why do the other nights' themes get overlooked? Last night was Patriot night and besides a few red horse boots, red and blue shirts just don't stand out like pink. |

I totally agree, I think it has nothing to do with them not liking women, beside men can also get breast cancer... Plus I know men have a higher likelihood of being color blind so heck maybe some of them think they are... Lol... |

Some may have forgotten their pink. It happens. I don't think any of them are doing it out of disrespect. Some are wearing pink and it doesn't show through on camera. Some are wearing a pink bandana or some other small sample of pink. Others are wearing sponsorship shirts they are required to wear. |

| I despise the color pink for me and didn't even own a pink shirt....does that make me against women?? IMHO the reason most contestants wear pink is for the extra bonus money they receive if they win the round wearing pink. |

| trickster j - 2014-12-08 10:23 PM Do you think it is a direct opposition towards women who have suffered with breast cancer, or just women in general? Just curious- Absolutely not. First off I don't think there is a "war on women" anymore and anyone who thinks that way needs to reexamine where they get their info. Second, as others have said, sponsors give the bigger names their shirts, third, they are concentrating on winning $$, fourth, some may have a routine of what they wear, superstition and not want to change it. Those contestants are busy from sun up to sun down and may not have someone taking care of those details for them. I think it is interesting that someone sees their not wearing pink as a statement in opposition to women. Not all the barrel racers decked out in pink either, are they opposed to women? Not everything is a statement or has deep meaning behind it. Importing motives on people without talking to them or knowing them is wrong.

| If you would look closely to the ones that did not wear a pink shirt....the thread they use to sew the sponsor patches and sponsor names is pink. They have certain colors they are required to wear by their sponsors but they use pink thread and pink writing on their shirts so they all have pink on some way or another!!!

This pic, this pic all day long. Some people don't like pink. Some people have commitments to wear certain things, and some may have honestly forgot. They all had the darn color on in some way or another. Let's not make mountains out of mole hills. Most cowboys and cowgirls are some of the nicest, honest to goodness, down to earth, caring people out there. The don't need to wear a certain color to support a cause, nor are the "MAKING WAR AGAINST THE FEMALES!!!!!!" by not wearing pink.
Good grief. |

As for wearing pink....or not.....how about follow the donation that's where the support starts not a stupid color wore on a certain night. |

| I'll start by saying I have personally been affected by breast cancer and I love pink (my favorite color) so I would probably wear pink every night except "patriot night" which is always the 10th round of the rodeo! (Facts straight)
With that said, I think this is a ridiculous post. Since for now this is a free country you were welcome to start it.
Do you honestly believe that just because someone wears a pink shirt that they have compassion for women that suffer from breast cancer? Let's just make it mandatory for everyone to go to church too so that they will have faith. IT'S NOT HOW THAT WORKS! |

I don't really like the bandana thing. I think it's kind of a cop out. I love pink and my horse wears it on occasion, even if I don't. |

Location: In a happy place | Having had breast cancer I think I will say somethng about this. Some women after bc love the color pink, they own lots of pink things. And some are like me. I don't like pink...never was real crazy about it but after bc the color pink gives me the shivers. I went with my sister to the hair dresser while I was on chemo (obviously I didn't need to go) and her hairdresser's daughter had been through bc treatment. A lot of things in her shop were pink which is fine that is her option. She tried to talk me into a pink purse and it literally made me sick to think about carrying that thing around. My son feels the same as I do and is glad I don't do the pink thing.
I think it is wonderful that the WNFR chooses to wear pink the 5th go-round. It is great. I started noticing last night which contestants had pink on. I would say that a lot of these people (meaning the men) that wore it either had sponsors that saw to it they had a pink shirt or they had a sensitive wife that helps them put their wardrobe together and made sure their husband/so had their pink shirt. Luke Branquino for instance didn't have a pink shirt so he tied a pink bandana on his right arm. As did others. Some had the bc symbol on their horses hips. Some had pink leg boots for their horses. Looked to me like most were trying to do the pink thing. I appreciate everyone that did. Maybe some that didn't have pink on were young and don't think about such things as they are packing to leave.....you know when you are young you pretty much think you are bullet proof and don't think about disease as much as they just think about injuries sustained doing their sport.
To say that someone there had a vindetta against women is absolutely the silliest thing I have ever heard. |

I don't think it's either. I don't own a pink shirt, but that doesn't mean I 'oppose women to suffer or have suffered from breast cancer or just women in general'. |

| I really don't have time to worry about what a person is wearing. I don't try to rationalized why or why not someone made the choices they made. I teach in a drug rehab unit, that is called CHOICES by the way, and if I rationalized on why those guys made certain choices it would be a mind boggling thing, and a total waste of time. I usually use my energy to make someone's day a little better. BE THE REASON SOMEONE SMILED TODAY. |

He feels there is so much attention on breast cancer at some point people stop noticing the seriousness of the issue.He feels its overhone and hates all the pink/events. I don't know if I agree but that is the feelings of someone who has suffered a great deal from breast cancer.

| Instead of assigning motive to someone who you have never met, who did not make a statement regarding why they only wore a bandana or not enough pink, why don't you message them and ask? As NJJ said, your statement was a cheap shot. Do you really think the 2 choices you gave are the only options? It seems like you are looking at things with a very narrow view point trying to make things fit in your agenda or how you personally see the world.

Hmmmm, so let me get this straight.
Since I despise pink, I hate women and particularly women with breast cancer (which includes one of my 6, yes count them, 6 sisters).
You believe everything you read on Facebook.
I do not advertise my identity on here because I value my privacy, not because I have anything to hide. I refuse to give my Social Security number every time it is asked for, unless there is a VALID reason to give it. The hospital does not get it from me, nor the random drug testing facilities nor many others who ask for it. My husband and I have followed this policy for our entire lives and had people ask us what we had to hide. NOW, people have to be TOLD to protect their personal information.
I reluctantly broke down and got a FB account, but it is not in my real name, nor does it have my real birthday on it. I use it to follow some of my "friends" who don't bother to call anymore because they live their lives on FB and assume that everyone else does too. I put very little of my personal info on there and really resent when family or friends put my business on there for the world to see. When my mare died my niece thought that she was being nice by posting it, when it was a very private thing for
me at the time. I did not want or need people feeling sorry for me. I have a problem with having to find out that someone passed long after the fact and nobody bothered to call because "it was all over Facebook". I also have a problem with missing an event because "it was on Facebook, I thought everyone knew". Ummmm, if you don't have the right circle of "friends" you STILL don't get to know. I cut my "friends" on FB off at about 35 as there is too much crap on my feed anyways. how on Earth does anyone keep up with the feed of hundreds or even thousands of so called "friends", most who they would not give the time of day to in real life.
So I got off topic a bit...sorry. Just wanted to make a point about assumptions people make without being privy to information that may not be ANY OF THEIR FREAKIN BUSINESS! |

As NJJ said, your statement was a cheap shot. Do you really think the 2 choices you gave are the only options? It seems like you are looking at things with a very narrow view point trying to make things fit in your agenda or how you personally see the world.

I put this same comment on my Facebook page and got alot more insightful comments. Interesting to see how people respond when their identity is hidden, verses those who know each other. Lol- gotta love the anonymity of BHW! eta: and by the way, my whole name is posted in my profile if any of you would like to jump on my Facebook to see how a constructive discussion on this comment would look like- you all just crack me up!!! Cheers! :)
Hmmmm, so let me get this straight. Since I despise pink, I hate women and particularly women with breast cancer (which includes one of my 6, yes count them, 6 sisters ). You believe everything you read on Facebook. I do not advertise my identity on here because I value my privacy, not because I have anything to hide. I refuse to give my Social Security number every time it is asked for, unless there is a VALID reason to give it. The hospital does not get it from me, nor the random drug testing facilities nor many others who ask for it. My husband and I have followed this policy for our entire lives and had people ask us what we had to hide. NOW, people have to be TOLD to protect their personal information. I reluctantly broke down and got a FB account, but it is not in my real name, nor does it have my real birthday on it. I use it to follow some of my "friends" who don't bother to call anymore because they live their lives on FB and assume that everyone else does too. I put very little of my personal info on there and really resent when family or friends put my business on there for the world to see. When my mare died my niece thought that she was being nice by posting it, when it was a very private thing for me at the time. I did not want or need people feeling sorry for me. I have a problem with having to find out that someone passed long after the fact and nobody bothered to call because "it was all over Facebook". I also have a problem with missing an event because "it was on Facebook, I thought everyone knew". Ummmm, if you don't have the right circle of "friends" you STILL don't get to know. I cut my "friends" on FB off at about 35 as there is too much crap on my feed anyways. how on Earth does anyone keep up with the feed of hundreds or even thousands of so called "friends", most who they would not give the time of day to in real life. So I got off topic a bit...sorry. Just wanted to make a point about assumptions people make without being privy to information that may not be ANY OF THEIR FREAKIN BUSINESS!
since you won't provide your identity, i'm not sure if you're my wife or not....but you sound exactly like her.... |

| my husband mother is a breast cancer survivor and he fully supports the cause. however I am certain he will never wear pink. It has nothing to do with how he feels about the cause or his mom. |

How bout breat cancer is not the number 1 cause of death in women...... But one would think it is.....js.
As for wearing pink....or not.....how about follow the donation that's where the support starts not a stupid color wore on a certain night.
I agree, breast cancer is not the only cancer that kills women, all cancer is bad. |

Location: Willows, CA | I think a person can express their support for breast cancer research with a check as well as what they wear. That being said, my wife is a 16 year breast cancer survivor. I wear pink whenever an event is having a "tough enough day". When we did the Horseman's ReUnion event in California last year they provided shirts for the presenters for the week, and one of them was pink. I think that is great and was glad to wear it. If all of this leads to a few more women detecting breast cancer earlier then I will wear pink every time an event encourages it. I can't see why any guy would feel that the color of his shirt would make a difference in his manliness. Sad.

Perhaps they just don't like being told what to wear and when to wear it. Perhaps they don't need to make public "look at me, I'm sympathetic" displays to contribute. |

Location: Willows, CA | I guess that I am just not rough or tuff enough to take offense at wearing a pink shirt. Nor do I think that wearing a pink shirt somehow threatens my manliness. At 6' 7" and 265 pounds, no shirt color is going to get that done. I am proud to show my support for this great program, and I think that taking offense to a color as an excuse not to support it is BS. If a person thinks that the program or any money is might generate is a waste of time, they get to have that opinion. Saying a guy would never wear a pink shirt in support of this just because it is pink is ignorant. I think every man has a woman he cares for fight this battle at some time. For me, it is my wife. Hate the program if you think you have a reason. If you don't have a reason, be a man and wear a pink shirt in support. It will not turn you gay, I promise. |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | Choosing to wear a color in support of any cause is a nice thing. However...to be bullied into it or else risk being called a woman hater or whatever is just wrong and not at all in the spirit of what is intended.
Maybe they spilled something on their pink shirt...maybe they got poo on it...maybe they forgot what night it was as they have a hundred thousand other things to be doing and thinking about before the most important competition of the year.
Maybe they were too busy sending food to the starving children in Africa that day to pick it up from the cleaners?
Whatever the reason for not wearing pink...does it even matter? Is it at all appropriate to make assumptions about their position or support for healthy boobies or any other thing? I sure don't think so. |

This is the dumbest question I have ever heard in my life. Could it be that they just don't like pink, or maybe they forgot it was pink night? If you watch the NFR and this is the kind of BS you think about, you need to get a life.

Here's a thought: "The mind is a terrible thing to waste." Perhaps you could put yours to better use??

Since most clothes are made in another country..........who are we really supporting?? All the clothing manufacturers just love this kind of movement.
Why not take the money that is spent on pink shirts, shoes, pants, etc. and donate to research or to your local hospice?

Yes! And this was a point that was brought up on my Facebook post- the fact that manufacturers are taking advantage of the "guilt" people might feel if they don't run out and buy a pink shirt on pink night! I hadn't considered that perspective before until earlier today. Someone else mentioned that the Susan Koman foundation didn't receive much of a donation from the sellers of pink clothing anyway. So those who sell the idea of "pink" are just using it as an opportunity to increase their own incomes. By being guilted into wearing pink- a brand new product (the pink mens shirt) is developed, instantly gains popularity and provides massive amounts of sales, great marketing strategy. Kind of like what happened when a good thing such as Christmas became commercialized and everyone wanted to make a buck off of it. Great post hotpaints- :)

You keep avoiding answering the question how can you import motives to actions by a person that you have never met, never had a discussion with and someone who has made no statements in reference to the action. Your statement assigning 2 reasons to not wearing pink has no merit. You are making assumptions and assumptions are not fact and have no place in an intelligent discussion. Now if one of the contestants had made a statement about wearing or not wearing pink then we would have something to talk about. |

While not an NFR contestant, I do participate in events that have "pink days", and I do obviously have an opinion on this. As I have said, I am happy to participate. My response was really directed to those who say that their man would never wear something pink. I have made my point there. As to selling pink shirts, when you wear a shirt, it has to be some color, so you are wearing a shirt that was purchased at some time and cost anyway whether it is pink or not. I do enough horse events that having a few pink shirts is no different than having a few blue ones. I guess the pink dye folks are making some money on us. Some people may disagree with the concept of this program. I am fine with that. My point was simply that feeling that somehow wearing a color, any color is somehow embarrassing or threatening just seems stupid to me. That was my point. I guess those same guys would not hold their wifes or girlfriends purse while they used the restroom for fear of how it might look. I personally am not that insecure. |

| The OP asked how people felt about the subject and people immediately went for the jugular assuming that she feels it's "going against women" to not wear pink. She wasn't and she still ISN'T saying that.
Also, if you read the few posts at the beginning of this page, you'll see the post by Hotpaints and Trickster's quote and reply. I think that is where she was hoping for the conversation to go...not, "Wow, you're stupid", "Get a life", and "Gee, only a woman would post this!"
But, of course, here we are sinking our claws into a BB who is by and large a good contributor to this site. Does no one pay attention to who is posting what? Does no one think, "Hmm, that seems unlike Trickster to post such an inflammatory thing, maybe I should wait for an explanation or ask for clarification before eviscerating her?" Nope.
Holy cabin fever, Batman. I shudder to think of what the rest of winter will be like at this rate...

Also, if you read the few posts at the beginning of this page, you'll see the post by Hotpaints and Trickster's quote and reply. I think that is where she was hoping for the conversation to go...not, "Wow, you're stupid", "Get a life", and "Gee, only a woman would post this!"
And then when she didn't get answers that she LIKED.....she took a "cheap shot".....HER post "Interesting to see how people respond when their identity is hidden, verses those who know each other. Lol- gotta love the anonymity of BHW!"
But, of course, here we are sinking our claws into a BB who is by and large a good contributor to this site. Does no one pay attention to who is posting what? Does no one think, "Hmm, that seems unlike Trickster to post such an inflammatory thing, maybe I should wait for an explanation or ask for clarification before eviscerating her?" Nope.
Holy cabin fever, Batman. I shudder to think of what the rest of winter will be like at this rate...
Carry on..........

I think my stance would be a lot different had she said, "I think people who don't wear pink in support of breast cancer patients are opposing those patients and even women in general, what say you?" That's not what she said. She did word her OP pretty poorly; I'll give you that, but I seriously doubt she meant it the way everyone seems to be taking it.
And honestly, the "cheap shot" in question pales in comparison to some of the things directed at her. Frankly, I think she practiced a lot of restraint in her replies.

Just the few I have read are very interesting in that just a simple question can stir up such intense anger- I'm working on a masters in psychology, and I guess since during my course of study I've had to respond to questions such as these, I'm used to asking them and answering them with respect for the person asking them. Some pretty deep conversation usually develops from a somewhat shocking idea or thought- not here I obviously- carry on! I'll check in tomorrow for more intelligent insights!

Hollywood's Fan nailed it. The OP's casual condescension and inflammatory fist post garnered the responses she received. So either she is a dabbling Psych major playing games for entertainment...or she is somehow unaware of how her post would be received and needs to get back to the books. |

that sounds like my agreement with purple.

| Yikes! All I can say is where exactly in my post did I say that those are my beliefs? I was simply asking your beliefs- only because marketers use that very guilt trip line to get people to buy pink. If you don't wear it, they want you to feel like you don't support the cause, which means money in their pocket and out of yours. Lol- my goodness!! It's surprising how mean and nasty you all can be- it's like a pack of wolves around here!
I personally blame the mods of this forum for letting things like this happen. It's not like they haven't noticed the insults that you all have hurled at me, obviously in efforts to make me feel like a pathetic loser- (good luck with that!) Anyway, MODS honestly- why do you allow bullying on this forum? BHW BB's- why do you want to bully people on this forum? I know you will hate this, but for the 98% who responded to my post with anger and hate, your words speak of your education level- have you ever heard the words, "Seek first to understand?" I doubt it- shame on you for going over board on me like that- only 2 people actually understood what I was saying- why didn't the rest of you ask for clarification before becoming so mean? Are the majority on here still in High School and want to gang up on others to feel a part of the popular crowd? Actually, I know alot of teenagers with more sense than that.
I am right here calling out Gail, and the rest of the mods to see why they think that the direction of this post was acceptable- this has been a train wreck. 5 pages of insults- hello??

I, personally, have a little bit of a different “take” on your post…………
1. This is a PUBLIC board – it is hard (next to impossible) to control someone else’s thought and opinions.
2. If you (“general” plural use of the word ”you”) post a question, opinion, or controversial statement, perhaps, you should not be surprised if it does illicit comments that fall into the Good, Bad, or Ugly category. (Refer to #1)
3. If you feel that you are not able to process or ignore the “Bad or Ugly” comments, perhaps you should refrain from commenting until you feel more confident.
4. If, at any given time, you do feel the “need” to resort to personal attacks or name calling, perhaps, you should look in the mirror to ensure that you have NEVER been guilty of the same sin (i.e. Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones OR Judge not lest YOU be judged).
5. If, at any given time, you STILL feel the “need” to attack or call names, perhaps, you should not be surprised if the person you attack jumps in your “Rose Garden” and stomps all over your pretty flowers!
6. If, at any given time, you DO feel your “panties (shorts or whitey-tightys) in a wad”, perhaps you should step away from the computer and change your underwear.
7. If, at any given time, you feel the “need” to tell someone what they should or should not, what they can or can not post, or where they should “go”, perhaps, you need to check your name tag to see if it reads “owner” or “mod” of BHW.
8. If, at any given time, you feel the “need” to “fabricate” a story or your life history, please be assured that there are many sleuths and detectives on BHW who will “ferret out” the TRUTH. So try not to be “offended”.
9. If you are a "right fighter" (one who will fight to the death to prove you, and you alone, are RIGHT), perhaps, you may want to schedule your appointment with Dr. Phil soon!
PS..............my appointment is Friday at 4 PM........
10. If your thread goes “south”, don’t whine and cry to the “mods”. Walk away, with dignity, with lesson learned….Refer to Rule # 1
11. When all else fails………………ALWAYS Refer to Rule #1
I type this all in “tongue in cheek” BUT if it offends you, you are probably guilty of one or more of the above………

What do you mean by a physco-mind game Jim?
Take note: I asked Jim for clarification instead of instantly bullying him because he can't spell very well. I could assume he is meaning "psycho," and if he is, I could take that as another low blow on my psychology major. But maybe he knows a word that I don't know, and it could be a very kind word. So let's see how he responds to my question before I go further-
Could you define, "physco-mind" Jim?

mruggles- I did not expect the onslaught of insults that I got on here, and I do think all of you who tried to pound me into the ground are wrong- and that would be bullying. Not that I am affected by it of course, I understand the mentality and I know if we all were sitting around having coffee together NONE of you would attack me like you did here. It's simple road rage mentality here on BHW- |

Hahahahaha....oh my goodness!
She manages to play the victim of bullying...AND...call 98% of the folks on here stupid at the same time! ("your words speak of your education level") hehehe
An educated person might look at the fact that "only two people understood" what she was saying...and perhaps take a little personal responsibility for the fact that her poorly chosen (or purposefully chosen) words were so widely misunderstood.
I sure don't think the Mods are derelict in their duties. The OP has done as much insulting/bullying as anyone else on this thread. It's actually a pretty hilarious read. Be a shame to nix this little psychology experiment. |

| TXBO- still waiting for a definition for "physco-mind." Is it another term for a "beautiful-mind?" Perhaps it's Greek? If so- I very much appreciate the compliment- that's very kind of you and I accept your apology.  |

| NJJ - 2014-12-10 8:13 AM trickster j - 2014-12-10 9:08 AM NJJ - 2014-12-10 8:03 AM OMG.......this would be a good place to post this....
I, personally, have a little bit of a different “take” on your post…………
1. This is a PUBLIC board – it is hard (next to impossible) to control someone else’s thought and opinions.
2. If you (“general” plural use of the word ”you”) post a question, opinion, or controversial statement, perhaps, you should not be surprised if it does illicit comments that fall into the Good, Bad, or Ugly category. (Refer to #1)
3. If you feel that you are not able to process or ignore the “Bad or Ugly” comments, perhaps you should refrain from commenting until you feel more confident.
4. If, at any given time, you do feel the “need” to resort to personal attacks or name calling, perhaps, you should look in the mirror to ensure that you have NEVER been guilty of the same sin (i.e. Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones OR Judge not lest YOU be judged).
5. If, at any given time, you STILL feel the “need” to attack or call names, perhaps, you should not be surprised if the person you attack jumps in your “Rose Garden” and stomps all over your pretty flowers!
6. If, at any given time, you DO feel your “panties (shorts or whitey-tightys) in a wad”, perhaps you should step away from the computer and change your underwear.
7. If, at any given time, you feel the “need” to tell someone what they should or should not, what they can or can not post, or where they should “go”, perhaps, you need to check your name tag to see if it reads “owner” or “mod” of BHW.
8. If, at any given time, you feel the “need” to “fabricate” a story or your life history, please be assured that there are many sleuths and detectives on BHW who will “ferret out” the TRUTH. So try not to be “offended”.
9. If you are a "right fighter" (one who will fight to the death to prove you, and you alone, are RIGHT), perhaps, you may want to schedule your appointment with Dr. Phil soon!
PS..............my appointment is Friday at 4 PM........
10. If your thread goes “south”, don’t whine and cry to the “mods”. Walk away, with dignity, with lesson learned….Refer to Rule # 1
11. When all else fails………………ALWAYS Refer to Rule #1
I type this all in “tongue in cheek” BUT if it offends you, you are probably guilty of one or more of the above……… NJJ- I can't tell if you support the wolves or me? I wish you had posted your number 4 a few pages back-
4. If, at any given time, you do feel the “need” to resort to personal attacks or name calling, perhaps, you should look in the mirror to ensure that you have NEVER been guilty of the same sin (i.e. Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones OR Judge not lest YOU be judged).
I don't believe that was a cheap shot- it was the truth, a common observation that anyone could conclude. |

m mruggles- I did not expect the onslaught of insults that I got on here, and I do think all of you who tried to pound me into the ground are wrong- and that would be bullying. Not that I am affected by it of course, I understand the mentality and I know if we all were sitting around having coffee together NONE of you would attack me like you did here. It's simple road rage mentality here on BHW-
i really have read it and i dont get attack out of it...its really hard to come across correct on a computer screen.................

WRONG.....I would say to your face anything that I have said here.....face it......you posted on a "public" board a controversial statement and don't like the responses that you got......get over it........people responded to the statements which they thought were idiotic.... |

| TrailGirl - 2014-12-10 8:13 AM trickster j - 2014-12-10 8:55 AM Yikes! All I can say is where exactly in my post did I say that those are my beliefs? I was simply asking your beliefs- only because marketers use that very guilt trip line to get people to buy pink. If you don't wear it, they want you to feel like you don't support the cause, which means money in their pocket and out of yours. Lol- my goodness!! It's surprising how mean and nasty you all can be- it's like a pack of wolves around here!
I personally blame the mods of this forum for letting things like this happen. It's not like they haven't noticed the insults that you all have hurled at me, obviously in efforts to make me feel like a pathetic loser- (good luck with that!) Anyway, MODS honestly- why do you allow bullying on this forum? BHW BB's- why do you want to bully people on this forum? I know you will hate this, but for the 98% who responded to my post with anger and hate, your words speak of your education level- have you ever heard the words, "Seek first to understand?" I doubt it- shame on you for going over board on me like that- only 2 people actually understood what I was saying- why didn't the rest of you ask for clarification before becoming so mean? Are the majority on here still in High School and want to gang up on others to feel a part of the popular crowd? Actually, I know alot of teenagers with more sense than that.
I am right here calling out Gail, and the rest of the mods to see why they think that the direction of this post was acceptable- this has been a train wreck. 5 pages of insults- hello??
Hahahahaha....oh my goodness! She manages to play the victim of bullying...AND...call 98% of the folks on here stupid at the same time! ("your words speak of your education level" ) hehehe An educated person might look at the fact that "only two people understood" what she was saying...and perhaps take a little personal responsibility for the fact that her poorly chosen (or purposefully chosen ) words were so widely misunderstood. I sure don't think the Mods are derelict in their duties. The OP has done as much insulting/bullying as anyone else on this thread. It's actually a pretty hilarious read. Be a shame to nix this little psychology experiment.
Hello there! You can honestly just call me Christie- not "she." By using first names we can begin to see each other as REAL people and not just objects. Could you point out the part of my OP that states that those are my beliefs? I am very confused why many of you came to that conclusion. And also confused as to why, if you did conclude that, you would first insult and attack me instead of say, "Trickster, what the heck is that supposed to mean??" Could you please explain this? Thanks! |

Norma, I suspect you are a ring leader around here- if I were a mod you'd be 86'd in a heart beat. You spread negative energy with every word you type. From skimming the pages of this thread I see that you have responded the most, and it is always to make sure that no one gives me a chance to explain myself. You're words are poison and they cause others to think they have the right to be rude as well. Shame on you for spreading so much hate and discontent on BHW- this used to be a friendly forum- I wish the mods would grow some . |

LOL....it pretty much covers everyone....you included.....you took a "cheap shot" several pages back so you are not without "sin".......
semantics? tomaaaaato or tomawwwwwto.......
If you are trying to show your superiority in intelligence here, I see that is failing......Your "backhanded stabs" makes you NO better than anyone else. You are just trying to "bully" people into responding the way YOU WANT....WITH words and whining to the "mods"...... |

OK- Norma, let's reel it back a tad.
Can you show me where in my OP I stated that I was expressing my personal beliefs?? Just answer that and then we can go from there- your current train of thought left the track awhile ago-

Um...I have sure not insulted or attacked you "first" or really at all. Here are the grand total of my posts in this thread:
"Choosing to wear a color in support of any cause is a nice thing. However...to be bullied into it or else risk being called a woman hater or whatever is just wrong and not at all in the spirit of what is intended. (NEVER said YOU Christie believed that way...just that that belief proposed by your OP is wrong in my Opinion...and opinion that you asked us all for in the first place )
Maybe they spilled something on their pink shirt...maybe they got poo on it...maybe they forgot what night it was as they have a hundred thousand other things to be doing and thinking about before the most important competition of the year.
Maybe they were too busy sending food to the starving children in Africa that day to pick it up from the cleaners?
Whatever the reason for not wearing pink...does it even matter? Is it at all appropriate to make assumptions about their position or support for healthy boobies or any other thing? I sure don't think so.
Hollywood's Fan nailed it. The OP's casual condescension and inflammatory fist post garnered the responses she received. So either she is a dabbling Psych major playing games for entertainment...or she is somehow unaware of how her post would be received and needs to get back to the books. "
And of course the one you just quoted. That's it...no wolf...not name calling...just calling it as I see it and pointing out the irony of you complaining about insults and bullying...when you have clearly done those very things to the folks posting here. I find it honestly humorous...and a pretty common reaction when someone gets responses they do not care for to something they post and ask opinions on.
My name is Kimberly...and I approve this message. |
