hi, if you were referring tothis post i put in the accessability/mobility/ disablity forum, i apologize, i didnt mean to offend anyone. that is the only forum ,and in fact the only mention of survivor i've put anywhere outside of the thread itsself and only thought it might be an appropriate forum to raise awareness to the fact that I honestly am intending to donate the money to researching genetic diseases. again i apologize for any misunderstanding, i only titled the thread "spamming for a cure" as a sort of tongue in cheek gesture but apparently it was not taken as such.

How can anyone want tovalee to win after doing what she did above? Go to the link that's highlighted in the above quote and watch her begging those with disabilities to vote for her to win a Survivor GAME! It's only a GAME!

Given the current status of the score, 50 - 50, am I correct in presuming that nobody wants either to win, or loose?

It's pretty difficult to twist the above! Exploiting those with disabilities to win the contest? Shameful! It would be a disgrace if you were to win using such tactics. mayordenis never stooped to such a despicable level. If people check the link in the above quote they will see what you're really up to!

tovalee, I don't care about who wins. I do care about you exploiting those with disabilities in order to win this competition. If you were going to give the money to disadvantaged people, that's fine. You mentioned you were doing this already. But why did you then go to the forum for people with disabilities and beg them for their vote? It was disgraceful.

"Give me a vote please and I'll help people like you!"

Horrible stuff.

ah well, i'm not going to defend myself anymore. my intentions were good, but misunderstood. i apologised several times already for any misunderstandings, i explained that i did it because someone i love dearly suffers with juvenile diabetes, i could give a rat's a** about your game, i was trying to help. the end

I can't see why someone would want to vote for tovalee unless they support people who exploit those with serious disabilities...

Congratulations tovalee. Exploiting those less fortunate than you has paid off. Don't think it will lead me to give you my vote though if it is required. I find your tactics to be revolting and if you do win and you hand in the money to a charity and the charity knew what you'd done to attain said money, they'd refuse to take it. Sickening tactics.

See post #73 for the moderator of the disability forum's opinion. I don't want to argue with you either. I only argue with people I respect. I said some flattering things about you and the other contestants in the last round. I stand by the comments I made about the others but I take back what I said about you. Your tactics have left a sour taste in the mouth of myself and many others.

I don't feel disabled people should be exploited so you can have the satisfaction of saying you won the first ever Boards Survivor contest.

My tactics never involved utilising those with special needs for my own ends. As for me shutting it, you resorted to the very same tactics as me so get off your high horse.
