Good Morning,
    1. The email that was posted here by Alskling was sent by me to 12 people, 10 of which were family members. The two non-family members that I sent it to were people that I have a personal relationship with. There was no spamming or intimidation involved. Anybody that actually knows me, can tell you that. If Alskling wants to ask the person that sent it to her, she would confirm that I have her email address from personal communication, not from any illicit means.
    2. As much as some of you don't like me, voting every hour in that contest was allowed under the rules.

First off, I have no idea what Scott is talking about in No. 1, unless it was an email he popagated soliciting votes on his behalf as the best photographer on MySpace with a direct link that placed a vote for him, although NOWHERE in the email was it stated that clicking on the link creates a vote and nowhere does it say how to be deleted from the mailing list I found myself on. Sounds like spam to me. How he got my email address is a mystery. I am certainly NOT a family member, nor a friend. And why he would even have the audacity to ask me to vote for him is an even greater mystery. Scott, more than anybody at WP, did way more than "step on" my toes. He was rude, crude, insulting, sarcastic, degrading, more than insinuated I was a liar and a thief, and attacked my business, work ethics and the quality and type of items I sell.
The following excerpt was part of the last post I wrote for WP, which was immediately deleted from the board only seconds before my account was suspended. Since WP does not allow posters to make direct reference to another member by name, I used the words "spotlight of your newsletter" to address Mr. Bulger.
"Some sellers have said that I must have been selling “junk” otherwise my items would sell (or at least get hits). Others said I must be in debt up to my eyeballs, be a poor business woman and need credit counseling or just plain too lazy to work. Another (the spotlight of your newsletter) attacked my business ethics in an open forum COMPLETELY UNCHECKED BY ANYBODY, and more than insinuated I am a liar and a cheat while the “friendly” community cheered him on and Karen ignored it. I was then chastised for being offended by his comments (I guess I was supposed to enjoy receiving them as he enjoyed making them). When I requested a public apology (as he did this in open forum) it was I (not he) that was twice reminded of the board policy and reprimanded for misbehavior."
Did Scott call me a liar and a thief? Yes, he did. Did he apologize? No, he did not. Did he accuse me of being a slackard, and that if I had no sales it was my fault for not working hard enough? Yes, he did. Did he apologize? No, he did not. Did he suggest my items were not marketable? Yes, he did, and in a very sarcastic way. Did he apologize? No, he did not. This, coming from someone with basically NO on-line selling experience to someone with nearly 9 years of experience and many thousands of transactions wordwide. Was he snide and condescending when I asked what Ray/Karen could be doing with $10K/mo in WP store fees? Yes, he was. Did he apologize? No. Did he say my posts were a waste because I only talk to myself? Yes, he did. Did he apologize? Yep. Was it sincere? Hardly. Did the WP board police ever step in to reprimant him? Never. Â
With regards to the contest, why don't you tell the whole story, Scott. Tell us about the voting "irregularities". And while you're at it, why don't you tell us about other "issues" MySpace had regarding your campaign you chose not to share with your WP Kumbaya buddies? I suppose you're going to accuse MySpace of being liars and cheats like you did with me. Why don't you also enlighten us on all the sales you've made to buyers outside your WP Kumbaya circle, and how you put link referrals on your listings, even though it was against WP policy at the time?
I can see why you're such a great disciple of Pope Ray, with your over-inflated egos and holier-than-thou, above-it-all attitudes.
