Well DrB, I guess you'll be busy when Gimme Sugar premieres on Logo in June. More lesbians running a business, being slutty and not living up to your standard.

Last time I checked, no one was criticizing Brian Peeler for discussing that he would take 3 or 4 different girls to bed each week before Kate. Why is that? The last time I checked, everyone on the show was a consenting free-willed adult. The trainers on the show were "cast" on the show. You do know it's a show? Right?

DrB, You sound like someone on the right who is overly familiar with every single law giving gays and lesbians equal rights. You aren't familiar with them because you're gay; you're familiar with them because you want to stop them. I don't believe you're a lesbian for the simple reason that you are completely intolerant of someone who chooses to lead her adult life with other consenting adults differently than you. You also think that it's okay for another poster to suggest that I'm some lesbian who just thinks Jackie is hot? WTF? I've never even defended Jackie Warner in terms of her looks, personality or character. I simply pointed out that the same standards are not being applied to everyone. Brian Peeler is a 10th grade drop out, divorced after only 3 months, known to frequent strip clubs, known womanizer, known to have anger control issues, but that's all okay?

Lorizh- You attacked KisaB whose posts I have read and which were quite hostile toward Jackie. Now she questions the authority of the hate movement and you turn on her? I've noticed you mostly ignore her posts anyway. She was completely within her right to point out the obvious regarding Doug's benefit. Jackie Warner was not in charge of Doug's Night to Remember. She was a guest. She had one role that evening during the auction. That's it. Her involvement in the organization itself and the event was minimal. The crowd was appalled by Brian Peeler. There's no way a group of adults, in a party atmosphere would suddenly stand together in total silence based on some secret pact they had with Jackie. No one knew that Brian was going act like a total ass but when he did, not one of Doug's close friends came to his defense. Not one. Instead, the 150 or so people just stood there staring at him with disdain.

As for Jamie Eason, she clearly doesn't give a sh1t! We've now gone way past the air date and she hasn't said anything in Brian's defense nor has Rich. Brian is now working at BodyImage which is hilarious because that's the gym featured on the former reality series The Gym. The owner is very tough and the staff is large. So he's claiming to have his own show coming out. Well good for him but I find it interesting that he immediately ran to a gym that already had one. It was canceled. Brian told me right here that he has a large construction company. No he doesn't. He attempted, at one point, to work in construction but failed. The best part is that he called it a large construction company. Really? Then why are you working at BodyImage and how is it that some very established construction companies have gone under because of the economy but you magically formed a large one with zero capital? He can spew whatever bs he wants but don't excuse his lies and contradictions while pointing your judgmental finger at Jackie Warner.

I'll stick with Jesse's statement. If Jackie was sooooooooo wrong, then why did Brian beg for his job back?

Lorizh-I'll just assume that you didn't read any of the articles posted by Nama? Because that's Brian in his own words and his own words contradict everything he has ever said. He's a natural born liar with anger control issues. Your post to Brian states that everyone makes mistakes and it will be okay. Really? Is Jackie allowed to make mistakes? Why does she owe you an apology? How do you know she hasn't been in contact with Jamie Eason? Jamie's only public response was that she couldn't comment. We know Jamie didn't have breast implants because of the cancer. We know most people had no idea who she was before this incident. WE KNOW that NO ONE knew WHO Brian Peeler was before Work Out, so if you're such a big Jamie and Brian fan, then maybe you should thank Bravo and Jackie Warner for introducing them to the world.

Hey, if you dig angry high school drop outs who alienate themselves from every person they meet including their wives, then more power to you. That's your right. All I am doing is pointing out another side. It's a completely valid side unless you think that I'm less than human and do not deserve an opinion? This isn't about Jackie. This isn't about Jamie Eason's breasts, this isn't about the choices being made by consenting free-willed adults who also signed releases to Bravo. BTW: none of them have complained. No one has forced them to stay; no one has forced you to watch. You are just looking for a way to rationalize your hate, find a safe place to express it and hope you can make fake online friends in the process. "Demented and Sad but Social" The Breakfast Club, that pretty much sums up this whole thing. Anytime anyone disagrees with you, it is immediately dismissed.

I have never implied that everyone is lying about their sexuality but I know for a fact that some are and have in the past. It happens and for you to deny it exists is pure ignorance. I have also never claimed that it is wrong to discuss Jackie. I think I've been very clear about where you begin to contradict yourselves. The issue remains the same: the double standards, talking out of both sides of your mouths and the complete refusal to see it from another point of view.

Let me get this straight. You want everyone to respect your First Amendment Right and they should but you want to SILENCE anyone who disagrees with you and more importantly you want to completely obliterate and to completely take away the First Amendment Right of Jackie Warner or anyone who makes a catty remark about a client at the gym, runs her business her way, has consenting adult relationships and who you think treated Brian Peeler unfairly? It happens everyday. Watch The Gym! They do the same things but maybe it will be okay because they give it a little trashiness?? The producers and Bravo are 100% in control of this thing. Not Jackie. She controls Sky Sport & Spa but Bravo decides who is cast on the show. Do you really really really believe that if something really really awful happened, they would have just looked the other way? No. They would have handled it immediately. You wouldn't even know about it. Jackie had to be given the green light to fire Brian Peeler. Nothing in the Universe is all of a sudden. There's always a chain of events leading up to something. Whether it's a random car accident or sudden death, some chain of events occurred prior to the incident. Brian Peeler has a great deal of chaos in his life and yet, you're more than happy to excuse it away. He's not accountable for anything? We're allowed to be complete [expletive deleted] because we were in a bad place in our life? Sorry but it doesn't really work that way. Everyone is accountable no matter what has happened to them. I'm sure the drunk driver who killed my sister will tell you that he was in a "bad" place in his life when it happened. So what? Hey, he is an attractive guy, very charming. Maybe you would like him? He's also a murderer but hey, he was drunk; he was in a bad place. It's cool.

Bottomline: You have no idea what was said in the Sky Sport office. You really don't. The only people who heard anything were the camera person, Lisa and Rich. Out of those people, only Lisa spoke out but what did she say anyway? I don't recall it being specific. We still don't know what was said. It doesn't matter to us though. It only matters to Jamie Eason and Rich.

I respect your 1st Amendment Right. Now I hope you'll understand that it also covers Bravo, Work Out, Jackie Warner and me.

A few stupid words said in a gym about a woman who wasn't a Sky Sport Client. (She was just there that night.) is NOT a big deal. It's only a big deal because you want to make it a big deal. You refuse to ask yourself why. It's a show. It has nothing to do with your personal life and yet, you want to take away someone's right to pursue their life, their way. That's the beauty of our Constitution. It protects all of us not just those we like.



You don't get to decide what is appropriate or inappropriate. That's what laws are for. There's a reason we have a Judicial System. It is a well developed, amazing process unique to the world and it protects YOU from being told that your life is not okay by a random mob. If Jackie hasn't broken any laws, if no one is forcing you to watch the show, then what exactly are you trying to accomplish other than trying to force your values and morals on a person you don't know. You may have those values and that's great but if someone isn't violating your space, your property and is neither harming you nor breaking the law; your idea of what values should be allowed protection under the 1st Amendment is totally and completely irrelevant. Take it to the highest court in the land and they'll tell you "don't watch" but if you continue to bully until you get your way, what you're saying is that our Constitution and our rights as individuals is meaningless. We really don't have the freedom to express ourselves unless it fits within the mandated moral code decided by an invisible group of people? I happen to think that is very scary.

If Brian's a victim, then I'm a bigger victim. If Jamie's a victim, I can trump that too. It's irrelevant to the argument.

[size="3"]


Alrighty-- based on this, I will change my stance from the homophobic or homosexual self-hatred theory to one about violating the First Amendment rights of another.

I'm going with it. How do you wish to argue? Do you want to ridicule me for my opinion? Belittle me? Offer me a cookie? Which by the way is such a the gay hating, pearl wearing evil suburbia image you want to put out there but I'm now supporting Bravo and their rights as guaranteed under the 1st Amend. How do you respond? Will you ignore me as well?

JC, do you think ignoring people who make counter points to you or making snarky b^tch fit remarks toward those who challenge the moral mob here is honorable? Is that how "proud" you are? Your virtual posse is more important than respecting the opinion of another homosexual?

Sweetheart, you don't have to agree but you need to stop denying the reality of what's going on here. This isn't a club and these aren't your friends.

I saw your remarks about me after I posted the other night. You asked if I was smoking crack? No dear. You also pointed out my spelling errors. Interestingly, I've seen many such errors in your posts since then but my favortie ignorant fool is Brian Peeler. JC-do tell why you are so in love with this straight man who would probably beat the sh1t out of you on any given day? Do you feel rebellious? Do you hate being gay? Do you like the idea that loving Brian Peeler garners you attention and love on this small message board of a world you have created for yourself? Is OutZone unsatisfying? Not enough bitter angry harpies over there? What is it because I'm not sure I understand.

You know what bigots love the most? To see the "perverted" groups they hate, fight one another. Yes, they like that very much. Gays attacking gays for defending a lesbian's right to her own life. It doesn't get much better than that. You see sweetheart, these little cookie baking liars will stir the sh1t and then step back to watch their poison take effect.

"we didn't say annnything about gay people on Bravo," says the Radical Right, "Nuh-uh, we didn't do nothin'", go the followers. "It was them gays who hated that sl^t lesbian." the choir will sing. "Even they thought she was sick, and immoral" will be the claim.

Let's forget the gay thing. I'd like someone to discuss Dacia's point. Is that possible or will you just be snide? I saw your comment about her looking in the mirror? Did you crack yourself up? Feel good?

You want to be heard, but you won't listen? Is that the tactic you wish to take with Bravo? Maybe that's why they're ignoring you. Just reading this message board, it's quite easy to see that the people here want to squash and silence Jackie Warner all while demanding that they be heard.

Ah well-- not spell checking and changing the font just to disturb LovemLiam-- who gives me an overwhelming Clay Aiken vibe--unsettling to say the least

Dacia & Truereality & jack123,
Did you notice that many of the previous posters went away when no one
responded to their cries for a response? Many of us have been at the same
point as well. But here is a little secret... every single time one or another of
us is about to "go find a bigger cause", "get a life" or simply "get over it" and
leave these boards. Someone claiming to have "intimate knowledge"
about Sky Sport & Spa comes on here and tries to browbeat us into submission.
They hurl insults, make ridiculous assumptions, call us liars and insist we
listen to their demands. All while fervently espousing the attributes of the show.
And do you know what that does? It ignites many people's anger all over again.
The more you yell and shout (and if you read the tone and the language of your posts
that is how they are perceived), the more we tend to think, "wow, we are
getting recognition". Just being here on these boards and talking about the
show has some people pretty upset. You are the very reason that most
people including me, visit these boards daily. You insist that what we do here
has no meaning, and that nobody cares. Yet everyday you are here stirring
the pot and getting everybody fired up all over again. So good job!

If you would just realize that the more you try to shut us up, the louder we
get. Every single one of your posts has been an exercise in futility. Or more
pointedly has been extremely counter productive. Has anyone here ever told
you that you were right? Has anyone actually acquiesced to any of your demands?

You also tell us we have no right to speak for others but what gives you the
right to speak for Jackie? Are you here as her advocate? Is she aware you are
claiming moral superiority and creating or continuing strife in her name?

So it's your way or the highway? Sounds like you want to shut some people up? Is that what I'm hearing? Anyone who disagrees with you should shut up and leave? Anyone who thinks people have a right to their own lives is out of line? That concept protects you by the way.

You've decided to gain popularity by attacking an itty bitty television show. Stomping on the rights of others is okay with you. It's on your terms so it's not up for discussion? I see-- Impressive and effective way to convince a corportation that you're not a bunch of irrational unhinged freaks.

Not an agent of Jackie but that's always your stand by defense whenever someone, who thinks hapries of hate are terribly hypocritical and insensitive, shows up.

What is your issue with those making counter points? Very constructive, well thought out arguments by the way-- You want to be heard but you don't want to listen? You don't want to face the consequences of your actions? It's okay to trample the rights of another based on your values. Your the consumer so you're right? Have you invested money into the show? Or maybe you are contracually obligated to watch it? Is this how you decided that a petition calling for the cancelation of the show was the best option? Not a kneejerk, immature reaction to an insignificant event but a proper response?

Do you really not see the snide remarks made by the harpies of hate toward anyone stating they disagree? Is that lost on you Cliaym? Oh wait, you belong to the club of justification therefore you are correct and everyone else is wrong? I make snide remarks--I'm wrong--so I'm bad. Harpies of hate make snide remarks---but they're right--so it's justified in the name of a unknown lesbian Code of ethics just recently created by Brian Peeler fans?

Trying to keep up with you LiamLog.

PS,
it appears you didn't read Dacia's post??? Because if you did, you'd realize that you failed to make an effective argument. She didn't do any of the things you claimed.
She responded to a question, and she posed a question to you. Taking a look is a good idea. She's not the one claiming to be morally superior, I'm not, I don't think anyone who disagrees with this destructive little movement has claimed such.

I'm not trying to hold anyone back from living their life. You are.

No one has forced them to stay; no one has forced you to watch. You are just looking for a way to rationalize your hate, find a safe place to express it and hope you can make fake online friends in the process. "Demented and Sad but Social" The Breakfast Club, that pretty much sums up this whole thing. Anytime anyone disagrees with you, it is immediately dismissed.

I have never implied that everyone is lying about their sexuality but I know for a fact that some are and have in the past. It happens and for you to deny it exists is pure ignorance. I have also never claimed that it is wrong to discuss Jackie. I think I've been very clear about where you begin to contradict yourselves. The issue remains the same: the double standards, talking out of both sides of your mouths and the complete refusal to see it from another point of view.

Let me get this straight. You want everyone to respect your First Amendment Right and they should but you want to SILENCE anyone who disagrees with you and more importantly you want to completely obliterate and to completely take away the First Amendment Right of Jackie Warner or anyone who makes a catty remark about a client at the gym, runs her business her way, has consenting adult relationships and who you think treated Brian Peeler unfairly? It happens everyday. Watch The Gym! They do the same things but maybe it will be okay because they give it a little trashiness?? The producers and Bravo are 100% in control of this thing. Not Jackie. She controls Sky Sport & Spa but Bravo decides who is cast on the show. Do you really really really believe that if something really really awful happened, they would have just looked the other way? No. They would have handled it immediately. You wouldn't even know about it. Jackie had to be given the green light to fire Brian Peeler. Nothing in the Universe is all of a sudden. There's always a chain of events leading up to something. Whether it's a random car accident or sudden death, some chain of events occurred prior to the incident. Brian Peeler has a great deal of chaos in his life and yet, you're more than happy to excuse it away. He's not accountable for anything? We're allowed to be complete [expletive deleted] because we were in a bad place in our life? Sorry but it doesn't really work that way. Everyone is accountable no matter what has happened to them. I'm sure the drunk driver who killed my sister will tell you that he was in a "bad" place in his life when it happened. So what? Hey, he is an attractive guy, very charming. Maybe you would like him? He’s also a murderer but hey, he was drunk; he was in a bad place. It’s cool.

Bottomline: You have no idea what was said in the Sky Sport office. You really don't. The only people who heard anything were the camera person, Lisa and Rich. Out of those people, only Lisa spoke out but what did she say anyway? I don't recall it being specific. We still don't know what was said. It doesn't matter to us though. It only matters to Jamie Eason and Rich.

I respect your 1st Amendment Right. Now I hope you'll understand that it also covers Bravo, Work Out, Jackie Warner and me.

A few stupid words said in a gym about a woman who wasn't a Sky Sport Client. (She was just there that night.) is NOT a big deal. It's only a big deal because you want to make it a big deal. You refuse to ask yourself why. It's a show. It has nothing to do with your personal life and yet, you want to take away someone's right to pursue their life, their way. That's the beauty of our Constitution. It protects all of us not just those we like.



You don't get to decide what is appropriate or inappropriate. That's what laws are for. There's a reason we have a Judicial System. It is a well developed, amazing process unique to the world and it protects YOU from being told that your life is not okay by a random mob. If Jackie hasn't broken any laws, if no one is forcing you to watch the show, then what exactly are you trying to accomplish other than trying to force your values and morals on a person you don't know. You may have those values and that's great but if someone isn't violating your space, your property and is neither harming you nor breaking the law; your idea of what values should be allowed protection under the 1st Amendment is totally and completely irrelevant. Take it to the highest court in the land and they'll tell you "don't watch" but if you continue to bully until you get your way, what you're saying is that our Constitution and our rights as individuals is meaningless. We really don't have the freedom to express ourselves unless it fits within the mandated moral code decided by an invisible group of people? I happen to think that is very scary.

If Brian's a victim, then I'm a bigger victim. If Jamie's a victim, I can trump that too. It's irrelevant to the argument.

Dacia, Jack123, True Reality, Nama, etc.

I have stated ad nauseam my reasons for being here,
if you take the time to read the boards you will know my point of view.
But I do take umbrage with your assumptions regarding me
and my values and/or beliefs.

Not everyone here hates Jackie Warner.
Not everyone here wants Work Out cancelled.
Not everyone is here defending Brian Peeler, but even if a few were,
there would be no need because he has been here to explain his actions for himself.

I am here because I was upset by the portrayal of Jackie Warner
on the Bravo show Work Out. It doesn't matter if you don't
believe that I have the right to be upset or not.
I am a loyal Bravo viewer, again read the boards.
I am also a big fan of Work Out, I was very excited to see this
new season. I was very disappointed when I actually saw it.
I was literally sick to my stomach, watching how people were being
treated in the name of entertainment.
The show had changed in tone from an inspirational, uplifting
exercise oriented show with a little sex and drama on the side,
to a hateful, mean spirited sensationalistic mess.
The way Jackie was portrayed during the first episodes
this season was shameful.

I just don't understand all of the hatred and bitterness from your end. Why not work together to resolve this?
Have you ever tried to engage anyone here in a respectful dialogue to learn their point of view? Have you asked anyone here what it would take for them to stop the boycott? I have seen nothing from your group that does anything to justify your level of hatred and bigotry. You have painted us all with a pretty broad brush and do you know what happens when people are marginalized? They band together. If your repetitive missives are a tactic for improving this situation, they are not working. How about a discussion?

Alrighty-- based on this, I will change my stance from the homophobic or homosexual self-hatred theory to one about violating the First Amendment rights of another.

I'm going with it. How do you wish to argue? Do you want to ridicule me for my opinion? Belittle me? Offer me a cookie? Which by the way is such a the gay hating, pearl wearing evil suburbia image you want to put out there but I'm now supporting Bravo and their rights as guaranteed under the 1st Amend. How do you respond? Will you ignore me as well?

JC, do you think ignoring people who make counter points to you or making snarky b^tch fit remarks toward those who challenge the moral mob here is honorable? Is that how "proud" you are? Your virtual posse is more important than respecting the opinion of another homosexual?

Sweetheart, you don't have to agree but you need to stop denying the reality of what's going on here. This isn't a club and these aren't your friends.

I saw your remarks about me after I posted the other night. You asked if I was smoking crack? No dear. You also pointed out my spelling errors. Interestingly, I've seen many such errors in your posts since then but my favortie ignorant fool is Brian Peeler. JC-do tell why you are so in love with this straight man who would probably beat the sh1t out of you on any given day? Do you feel rebellious? Do you hate being gay? Do you like the idea that loving Brian Peeler garners you attention and love on this small message board of a world you have created for yourself? Is OutZone unsatisfying? Not enough bitter angry harpies over there? What is it because I'm not sure I understand.

You know what bigots love the most? To see the "perverted" groups they hate, fight one another. Yes, they like that very much. Gays attacking gays for defending a lesbian's right to her own life. It doesn't get much better than that. You see sweetheart, these little cookie baking liars will stir the sh1t and then step back to watch their poison take effect.

"we didn't say annnything about gay people on Bravo," says the Radical Right, "Nuh-uh, we didn't do nothin'", go the followers. "It was them gays who hated that sl^t lesbian." the choir will sing. "Even they thought she was sick, and immoral" will be the claim.

Let's forget the gay thing. I'd like someone to discuss Dacia's point. Is that possible or will you just be snide? I saw your comment about her looking in the mirror? Did you crack yourself up? Feel good?

You want to be heard, but you won't listen? Is that the tactic you wish to take with Bravo? Maybe that's why they're ignoring you. Just reading this message board, it's quite easy to see that the people here want to squash and silence Jackie Warner all while demanding that they be heard.

Ah well-- not spell checking and changing the font just to disturb LovemLiam-- who gives me an overwhelming Clay Aiken vibe--unsettling to say the least

So it's your way or the highway? Sounds like you want to shut some people up? Is that what I'm hearing? Anyone who disagrees with you should shut up and leave? Anyone who thinks people have a right to their own lives is out of line? That concept protects you by the way.

You've decided to gain popularity by attacking an itty bitty television show. Stomping on the rights of others is okay with you. It's on your terms so it's not up for discussion? I see-- Impressive and effective way to convince a corportation that you're not a bunch of irrational unhinged freaks.

Not an agent of Jackie but that's always your stand by defense whenever someone, who thinks hapries of hate are terribly hypocritical and insensitive, shows up.

What is your issue with those making counter points? Very constructive, well thought out arguments by the way-- You want to be heard but you don't want to listen? You don't want to face the consequences of your actions? It's okay to trample the rights of another based on your values. Your the consumer so you're right? Have you invested money into the show? Or maybe you are contracually obligated to watch it? Is this how you decided that a petition calling for the cancelation of the show was the best option? Not a kneejerk, immature reaction to an insignificant event but a proper response?

Do you really not see the snide remarks made by the harpies of hate toward anyone stating they disagree? Is that lost on you Cliaym? Oh wait, you belong to the club of justification therefore you are correct and everyone else is wrong? I make snide remarks--I'm wrong--so I'm bad. Harpies of hate make snide remarks---but they're right--so it's justified in the name of a unknown lesbian Code of ethics just recently created by Brian Peeler fans?

Trying to keep up with you LiamLog.

And I don't want anyone to "shut up" as I have been accused of stating.
My earlier post (if you took the time to read it and process the information for a moment before just continuing to spew more bile and hatred) was an attempt to let you know that the current tactics were not working. That your policy of name calling and belittling people does not endear anyone to your cause. That if you just attempted to understand why a group of individuals from all walks of life would come together for this "cause", maybe you could gain some real insight. Instead you have already decided who we are and why we are here and how you are going to get rid of us. I encourage an intelligent debate. I always have with any of my fellow posters (except "she who must not be named"). Read the boards. And by the way, other than explaining to us why we should not be here, why are you here? To save someone's job? Wouldn't that be their responsibility? By making amends with the public? I have repeated this so many times, if what we do & say here on these boards doesn't matter? Why should we stop?

Adam was not fired from his job. He works at a PR firm. United Autism Foundation, a client of his, decided not to use his services anymore. As of yet he hasn't donated a thing


You are so very incorrect. Here is a direct quote from Reality Blurred:

QUOTE
Big Brother 9 houseguest Adam Jasinski has apparently been fired from his job for comments he made in the house about autistic children. One advertiser has pulled its ads and another group asked for Adam's termination and the cancellation of the show following his casual use of the term "retards" to refer to the kids he works with.

The United Autism Foundation explains his firing in a statement on its web site, which also offers an apology "for any and all inappropiate [sic], unprofessional and unacceptable comments made by Adam Jasinski"


So, here is your own example of how a male gets away with stuff and people sit idly by? There was a huge uproar with what Adam said. Adam still has reiterated that he's donating the money, but since he's been fired he's looking into what he should do with the money. Especially since the show just ended a few weeks ago tongue.gif

Think it proves exactly what we've been trying to say over and over again, that it's Jackie's refusal to take responsibility for her actions and own up to them. At least Adam did and has apologized repeatedly for what he did. We've had nothing from Jackie.

Regardless though, this is about Work Out, not Big Brother. We're not here to carry the gauntlet on all shows.

Well DrB, I guess you'll be busy when Gimme Sugar premieres on Logo in June. More lesbians running a business, being slutty and not living up to your standard.

Last time I checked, no one was criticizing Brian Peeler for discussing that he would take 3 or 4 different girls to bed each week before Kate. Why is that? The last time I checked, everyone on the show was a consenting free-willed adult. The trainers on the show were "cast" on the show. You do know it's a show? Right?

DrB, You sound like someone on the right who is overly familiar with every single law giving gays and lesbians equal rights. You aren't familiar with them because you're gay; you're familiar with them because you want to stop them. I don't believe you're a lesbian for the simple reason that you are completely intolerant of someone who chooses to lead her adult life with other consenting adults differently than you. You also think that it's okay for another poster to suggest that I'm some lesbian who just thinks Jackie is hot? WTF? I've never even defended Jackie Warner in terms of her looks, personality or character. I simply pointed out that the same standards are not being applied to everyone. Brian Peeler is a 10th grade drop out, divorced after only 3 months, known to frequent strip clubs, known womanizer, known to have anger control issues, but that's all okay?

Lorizh- You attacked KisaB whose posts I have read and which were quite hostile toward Jackie. Now she questions the authority of the hate movement and you turn on her? I've noticed you mostly ignore her posts anyway. She was completely within her right to point out the obvious regarding Doug's benefit. Jackie Warner was not in charge of Doug's Night to Remember. She was a guest. She had one role that evening during the auction. That's it. Her involvement in the organization itself and the event was minimal. The crowd was appalled by Brian Peeler. There's no way a group of adults, in a party atmosphere would suddenly stand together in total silence based on some secret pact they had with Jackie. No one knew that Brian was going act like a total ass but when he did, not one of Doug's close friends came to his defense. Not one. Instead, the 150 or so people just stood there staring at him with disdain.

As for Jamie Eason, she clearly doesn't give a sh1t! We've now gone way past the air date and she hasn't said anything in Brian's defense nor has Rich. Brian is now working at BodyImage which is hilarious because that's the gym featured on the former reality series The Gym. The owner is very tough and the staff is large. So he's claiming to have his own show coming out. Well good for him but I find it interesting that he immediately ran to a gym that already had one. It was canceled. Brian told me right here that he has a large construction company. No he doesn't. He attempted, at one point, to work in construction but failed. The best part is that he called it a large construction company. Really? Then why are you working at BodyImage and how is it that some very established construction companies have gone under because of the economy but you magically formed a large one with zero capital? He can spew whatever bs he wants but don't excuse his lies and contradictions while pointing your judgmental finger at Jackie Warner.

I'll stick with Jesse's statement. If Jackie was sooooooooo wrong, then why did Brian beg for his job back?

Lorizh-I'll just assume that you didn't read any of the articles posted by Nama? Because that's Brian in his own words and his own words contradict everything he has ever said. He's a natural born liar with anger control issues. Your post to Brian states that everyone makes mistakes and it will be okay. Really? Is Jackie allowed to make mistakes? Why does she owe you an apology? How do you know she hasn't been in contact with Jamie Eason? Jamie's only public response was that she couldn't comment. We know Jamie didn't have breast implants because of the cancer. We know most people had no idea who she was before this incident. WE KNOW that NO ONE knew WHO Brian Peeler was before Work Out, so if you're such a big Jamie and Brian fan, then maybe you should thank Bravo and Jackie Warner for introducing them to the world.

Hey, if you dig angry high school drop outs who alienate themselves from every person they meet including their wives, then more power to you. That's your right. All I am doing is pointing out another side. It's a completely valid side unless you think that I'm less than human and do not deserve an opinion? This isn't about Jackie. This isn't about Jamie Eason's breasts, this isn't about the choices being made by consenting free-willed adults who also signed releases to Bravo. BTW: none of them have complained.

If Brian's a victim, then I'm a bigger victim. If Jamie's a victim, I can trump that too. It's irrelevant to the argument.


Saved for posterity,

If it is, as you have stated, earlier in this missive, a scripted show and that Jackie is told by Bravo what to do/say (which makes her not responsible for said words/actions which I think is your argument) then how does the First Ammendment and Free Speech come into it? You can't really have it both ways, you know.

And as far as Free Speech goes, You have been more than free to speak here! (ad nauseum, I might add!). The thing about the First Ammendment is that it works for ALL - we have as much right to speak freely as you do.

And the First Ammendment does not insure that others have to respond to you. We have tried to discuss and debate with you. But many of us are coming to the conclusion that you are not here to discuss or debate (since you do not listen to what we have to say, you continually spew hate, bigotry and accusations, and when asked questions either do not answer or become irate and spew forth increasing venom.) but to harass. The constant name calling and condescention also do not promote an atmosphere condusive to rational discussion.

So. Come and freely speak. Let us freely speak. Neither will trample on the other's First Ammendment rights. We are under no obligation to speak to eachother!

Wow, I just finished reading over 10 pages of past posts from last night. I'm just stunned with some and found a deeper appreciation for others. Been kind of a roller coaster ride emotionally reading them all.

I don't get all the personal attacks and animosity at all. I don't get the accusations with using the gay prejudice card over this issue. A lot of it just doesn't make sense to me at all.

I've made it clear that I'm here because I'm offended that a woman, Jamie, was ridiculed by Jackie over her breasts. It was made worse when it was disclosed by her boyfriend, who overheard the comments, that Jamie is a breast cancer survivor. I'm offended that a woman, who had been represented to me as being strong, accomplished, professional; would demean another woman on national TV and never take a minute to apologize for her actions. A woman, whose entire show was about helping others make life changes both personally and physically, would then humiliate a person over the look of their body?

Then you add firing Peeler who politely questioned her actions and lack of compassion by not apologizing. I don't care if Peeler is a good person or not, I don't even care if he's a good trainer or not, I don't care if he deserved for other reasons to be fired or not. I care that Jackie chose the Jamie incident to fire him over.

I've watched as a woman I had admired change this season into a very disrespectful and egotistical woman. That alone had me upset and disappointed. Then the Jamie incident happened and it was the final straw for me. All respect I had flew out the window. I had lost hope that a successful woman could actually demonstrate strength while at the same time show compassion.

For Jackie to not even utter a word of apology for her actions speaks louder than anything. She obviously believes that she's so great she doesn't have to be held accountable for anything. That so fuels the flames and passions a lot of women here have been trying to vocalize.

To have our feelings now turned into some kind of secret agenda and hidden bigotry makes me even sadder. I don't know if it is the "Jackie Camp" who are promoting this to try and derail what is actually happening, or not. I just can't personally accept that others here can't see our hurt and offense at watching a woman make fun of another woman's breasts; especially when that woman was there working on her body image.

All Jackie had to do from day one was apologize and take responsibility for what she did. I guess that's a tall order to ask of a successful woman who believes she's above all that. So, instead, let's attack each other with personal flames and accusing fingers of being bigots.

Why does she owe you an apology? How do you know she hasn't been in contact with Jamie Eason? Jamie's only public response was that she couldn't comment. We know Jamie didn't have breast implants because of the cancer. We know most people had no idea who she was before this incident. WE KNOW that NO ONE knew WHO Brian Peeler was before Work Out, so if you're such a big Jamie and Brian fan, then maybe you should thank Bravo and Jackie Warner for introducing them to the world.

Hey, if you dig angry high school drop outs who alienate themselves from every person they meet including their wives, then more power to you. That's your right. All I am doing is pointing out another side. It's a completely valid side unless you think that I'm less than human and do not deserve an opinion? This isn't about Jackie. This isn't about Jamie Eason's breasts, this isn't about the choices being made by consenting free-willed adults who also signed releases to Bravo. BTW: none of them have complained. No one has forced them to stay; no one has forced you to watch. You are just looking for a way to rationalize your hate, find a safe place to express it and hope you can make fake online friends in the process. "Demented and Sad but Social" The Breakfast Club, that pretty much sums up this whole thing. Anytime anyone disagrees with you, it is immediately dismissed.

I have never implied that everyone is lying about their sexuality but I know for a fact that some are and have in the past. It happens and for you to deny it exists is pure ignorance. I have also never claimed that it is wrong to discuss Jackie. I think I've been very clear about where you begin to contradict yourselves. The issue remains the same: the double standards, talking out of both sides of your mouths and the complete refusal to see it from another point of view.

Let me get this straight. You want everyone to respect your First Amendment Right and they should but you want to SILENCE anyone who disagrees with you and more importantly you want to completely obliterate and to completely take away the First Amendment Right of Jackie Warner or anyone who makes a catty remark about a client at the gym, runs her business her way, has consenting adult relationships and who you think treated Brian Peeler unfairly? It happens everyday. Watch The Gym! They do the same things but maybe it will be okay because they give it a little trashiness?? The producers and Bravo are 100% in control of this thing. Not Jackie. She controls Sky Sport & Spa but Bravo decides who is cast on the show. Do you really really really believe that if something really really awful happened, they would have just looked the other way? No. They would have handled it immediately. You wouldn't even know about it. Jackie had to be given the green light to fire Brian Peeler. Nothing in the Universe is all of a sudden. There's always a chain of events leading up to something. Whether it's a random car accident or sudden death, some chain of events occurred prior to the incident. Brian Peeler has a great deal of chaos in his life and yet, you're more than happy to excuse it away. He's not accountable for anything? We're allowed to be complete [expletive deleted] because we were in a bad place in our life? Sorry but it doesn't really work that way. Everyone is accountable no matter what has happened to them. I'm sure the drunk driver who killed my sister will tell you that he was in a "bad" place in his life when it happened. So what? Hey, he is an attractive guy, very charming. Maybe you would like him? He's also a murderer but hey, he was drunk; he was in a bad place. It's cool.

Bottomline: You have no idea what was said in the Sky Sport office. You really don't. The only people who heard anything were the camera person, Lisa and Rich. Out of those people, only Lisa spoke out but what did she say anyway? I don't recall it being specific. We still don't know what was said. It doesn't matter to us though. It only matters to Jamie Eason and Rich.

I respect your 1st Amendment Right. Now I hope you'll understand that it also covers Bravo, Work Out, Jackie Warner and me.

A few stupid words said in a gym about a woman who wasn't a Sky Sport Client. (She was just there that night.) is NOT a big deal. It's only a big deal because you want to make it a big deal. You refuse to ask yourself why. It's a show. It has nothing to do with your personal life and yet, you want to take away someone's right to pursue their life, their way. That's the beauty of our Constitution. It protects all of us not just those we like.



You don't get to decide what is appropriate or inappropriate. That's what laws are for. There's a reason we have a Judicial System. It is a well developed, amazing process unique to the world and it protects YOU from being told that your life is not okay by a random mob. If Jackie hasn't broken any laws, if no one is forcing you to watch the show, then what exactly are you trying to accomplish other than trying to force your values and morals on a person you don't know. You may have those values and that's great but if someone isn't violating your space, your property and is neither harming you nor breaking the law; your idea of what values should be allowed protection under the 1st Amendment is totally and completely irrelevant. Take it to the highest court in the land and they'll tell you "don't watch" but if you continue to bully until you get your way, what you're saying is that our Constitution and our rights as individuals is meaningless. We really don't have the freedom to express ourselves unless it fits within the mandated moral code decided by an invisible group of people? I happen to think that is very scary.

If Brian's a victim, then I'm a bigger victim. If Jamie's a victim, I can trump that too. It's irrelevant to the argument.

You know, my feelings are kind of hurt and yet another part of me is furious. I don't think I have been this mad about someone else's viewpoint about my homosexuality since my mother said to me, "I would rather you be dead than gay." I spent 10 plus years trying to get Alex and I accepted by my family. Had to leave more than one church because I am gay and now Dacia, you want to question who I am? I know the issues very well because I read and I write to congress and to the senate. I go to the hearings in Washington. I go to Austin. Alex is a flight attendant and we get great perks. Do you know who your congressman is in your district? How about your two senators from your state? Do you know who they are? Do you know what they stand for? At first you accuse me of not being involved in the important issues facing the GLT community and then when I point that I am involved and I do know the issues and am extremely active in working for those issues, you then come back and say I am too familiar with the issues so I must not be gay?

Dacia...you are a piece of work. Get back to me on who your state congressmen are and your state senators. Also maybe you might want to go back and read my post. I never said you or anyone only liked Jackie because she is hot.

If you would like to have a dialog about who I am and what I believe and you can answer my questions as well, then I welcome that opportunity. Otherwise, please do not include me further in your discussions.

I can't speak for TrueReality but I can speak for myself. Many of us believe that if you really are part of the community, you would be more concerned with petitions concerning our equal rights, our right to marriage, adoption and fight against discrimination. Unfortunately, there are anti-gay movements. They exist and are often difficult to detect. I have a very strong suspicion that Hesed from Topix is posting here. If you want to see this person's mindset, Google Hesed, homosexuality and topix. Better yet, google Hesed, Topix and Jackie Warner. The anti -gay movement has become very difficult to track. It used to be easy. They would put it right out there but now it's much more subversive and their work much more covert. Their boards are not public so it becomes more and more difficult. There are gay sites that do their best to track it and of course, anyone who is a card carrying member knows the danger of Worldnetdaily.com. Yes, the very news outlet that promotes hate and misinformation including Soy causes gayness!

Everyone is welcome to their opinion but I said this before, fighting to have sponsors removed and the show canceled is providing the ammunition needed for anyone looking to validate their hate of gays. I don't hate straight people! I have lots of straight friends!! (sarcasm) However, I don't see a great deal of outrage over Renessa's inappropriate behavior while on a paid assignment in addition to the fact that she is a single mother of a young girl. I have seen the arguments that Jackie is a poor role model for young women. So what kind of of role model does that make Renessa to her own child? Speaking of which, what kind of complete whacked out role model is Brian Peeler supposed to be? I think there are a high number of undesirable individuals on television but I don't fight to have them removed from television. I don't watch them.

Since I haven't seen this many lesbians on any other board gay or otherwise, I will stick with my original opinion and proof of experience that some are not being honest about their orientation or motive. They are here to make sure that a lesbian with an immoral lifestyle is removed from their television screens. In the beginning, there was an initial outcry against Jackie's comments on gay boards but it quickly subsided. There have always been a few long-term posters who have never liked her but they've been around since the beginning. The only people who are continuing to scream about Jackie on the gay boards are brand new posters who suddenly showed up and claim to be "outraged " lesbians. Really? Maybe you haven't heard, but we have some other issues that actually effect our lives. That's my response to all the newly registered lesbians on the gay boards. Apparently, only Jackie Warner was a big enough call to action for these "new" lesbians. I don't think so. Some are people like Hesed.

I'm impressed. I thought I was the only one that knew this stuff.

Dacia & Truereality & jack123,
Did you notice that many of the previous posters went away when no one responded to their cries for a response? They went away because they said enough. But here is a little secret... every single time one or another of us is about to "go find a bigger cause", "get a life" or simply "get over it" and leave these boards. Someone claiming to have "intimate knowledge" about Sky Sport & Spa comes on here and tries to browbeat us into submission. The commenters claiming to have intimate knowledge have all been against Jackie. All of them have been proven to be fake. There are far less posts for Jackie than against Jackie so you got it the other way around, the anti-Jackie commenters are trying to browbeat those who are not into submission.

So, here is your own example of how a male gets away with stuff and people sit idly by? There was a huge uproar with what Adam said. Adam still has reiterated that he's donating the money, but since he's been fired he's looking into what he should do with the money.

Adam did PR work for an autism charity for 3 months. The charity folded before he entered the house. They still issued a press release saying he was fired. (weird) So he didn't lose any work because of his comments.

"Autism United executive director John Gilmore demanded an apology from CBS over Jasinski's remarks and also asked the long-running reality series be canceled. So far, it has received neither."

Viewers were supportive of Adam including United Austism's webmaster.

"United Autism's website was also apparently supposed to come down when the foundation's office closed last month, however the charity's webmaster seemed to instead decide to replace it with a fan site for Jasinski while he's competing on Big Brother."

Why can't people who feel strongly about an issue create a petition and lobby sponsors? Isn't that just as much their right to do that as it is your right to disagree with that? I have been lurking for a few days and I have to say, your level of anger has me curious and quiet frankly, scared at times.

I have stated my sexual orientation and my gender but I feel like I have been relegated to "liar" because you, in your great insight into my life, have called me fake just for the sake of trying to make a point about Jackie. You have not given a dose of true reality in regards to me and the validity of my complaint. You have discriminated against me for being who I am, a very proud, loved lesbian who happens to think that Jackie is portraying herself in a very narcissistic way and in my opinion she is the epitome of sexual harassment in the work place because she is in a position of authority, regardless of the fact they are all adults. I am not a Peeler lover. I am not a Jackie hater. I am extremely disappointed in Jackie's representation of what a lesbian in a position of power and authority does with that power.

If you would like to know more of my thoughts, I'll be happy to share more. But please, don't express your "dose of true reality" as the only truth because your truth is your opinion and only your opinion.

P.S. I keep my gay card in my neck wallet. My fanny pack is full of other crap.

Wow.. "viewers were supportive of Adam". But there was also a lot of viewers who were NOT supportive of Adam and there was a huge backlash. Just like here over the Jamie incident there's some who are supportive of her and some who are not. The entire point is that just because Adam was male, he didn't get off scott free either. Even according to Adam's OWN mypage, he was fired.

I'm not going to debate with you the "he said, she said" issues of this. But I will debate that Adam, as a male had no consequences to what he did. Just like Bravo, CBS had little response. Just like Work Out, BB had sponsors pull out. Just like Jackie, Adam had a huge anti-campaign for his actions. Unlike Jackie, per Adam himself, he was fired over it. All which addresses YOUR point that Adam, as a male, did not suffer any consequences for his actions. The backlash Adam received for using the word "retard" makes the backlash here for Jackie look mild.

At least Adam apologized profusely. Jackie has not uttered one word. And maybe, just maybe, Adam's apology is what finally defused the entire thing? One might wonder. Regardless, trying to use Adam as a basis for showing where a male can utter something demeaning and have nothing happen, is just plain off base.

My message-in-a-bottle was swept away in a vicious rip tide yesterday morning, then I had to smash a plate of Klingon cookies with a spatula to stop the wiggling. Nice to daydream about California. I visited once and fulfilled a life-long dream of playing Pebble Beach with my Dad. Sustaining memories.

Fortunately I tied a string to the bottle, so here it is again:

I've been thinking about why Work Out, Season 3 fired me up. As mentioned several times, I was looking forward to seeing a work-a-day lesbian on television. It's important to see ten-percenters living their lives with no substantive differences ... washing machines break, work spills over into leisure, raccoons dump over garbage cans and the grass keeps growing.

I was not hoping for a role model. I've been fortunate and never had to look beyond my own family to fill that position. I do see value in having role models for very specific reasons. In football, you would be hard-pressed to find a better sportsman that Walter Payton ... score a touchdown then hand the ball to a ref "as if you'd been there before". In tennis, Pete Sampras. On television, when live was live, Carol Burnett. You get my drift. If life has left you with few familial role models, for all the reasons that might happen, look to the classics ... Ghandi, MLK,Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt, Maya Angelou.

I have never believed that any press is good press or any exposure is good exposure. Bravo either cast or created a bad example and removing that example will hardly set back the movement. I can find no common ground with Jackie Warner, who seems to be getting a pass because the network had a niche to fill. My fire was kindled.

Alex and I went there one time and took my Grandad and his partner. We so enjoyed it but Bob (Granddad's "friend", as my homophobic family likes to call him), has had two kidney transplants and was starting to reject his second kidney so we didn't get to stay as long as we would have had it just been the two of us. It was after that trip that we realized we needed to move them in with us so we loaded up the truck and moved them here with us. Now I just go to PS once a year for the golf.

Texas... Alex loves tennis and I enjoy watching it. She played in college back in the dark ages. We have an agreement. She doesn't try to play golf and I don't try to play tennis. We are both VERY competitive and would get into knock down, drag out fights when we would attempt the others sport. So now, she drives the cart and gets the beer and I cheer wildly when she scores a birdie or whatever you call it in tennis and now we only fight about the really important things.

Alex never believed me about the damn cat and how much he hates me until I got one of those "Nannie Cams" and put it in the living room while she was out of town. I caught on film how he attacks me and terrorizes me for no reason. I don't know if I mentioned but he is the size of a small goat! Alex watched it when she got back home and laughed and laughed. Her laughter bought her a few nights in the guest room with her cat. And you know, you can't just call a cat whisperer or something because the cat is like, "Whatever MF'er! Move before I attack you too." You can't train a cat. wacko.gif

Alex goes to the US Open every year with some of her tennis friends, so about two years ago I decided to join them. I saw Billy Jean but didn't get to meet her. But I did get to meet Martina Navratilova(?sp). I was waiting in the bar at the hotel and had been waiting for quiet some time so of course I had to order drinks. Martina came in with her gorgeous lover and sat next to me at the bar. I had not a clue who she was but knew she looked familiar. We chatted for awhile and finally Alex and tennis friends show up and I think my wife of 18 years at the time had a small orgasm. She literally push me out of my seat and sat there chatting with her like they were old, fast friends. She then proceeded to apologize for ME not knowing who Martina was and made me buy the next round of drinks.

Kisa, sorry to read that you honestly think there maybe some hidden anti-gay agenda going on here. I think that's drinking the Koolaid. Most of the people here who are outraged at Jackie's behavior are gay, it has nothing to do with her sexual preference that's [expletive deleted]. I loved watching Jackie and Workout, I'm not gay, but I loved her show and admired her...the first two seasons. This season she's gotten way out of hand with her ego and her unprofessionalism. Her personal life is her own and it hasn't nothing to do with why people dislike her, that's just conversation going on here. No one is here to carry on friendly conversations regarding workout, they are here because they are outraged at what happened with Jackie & Jamie Eason and her horrible remarks she made about Jamie's breasts especially since Jamie is a breast cancer survivor. Lastly, it doesn't matter squat that Jackie didn't know who Jamie was or if she had cancer, honestly does that matter to you? She made fun of a client's breasts behind her back with her catty assistant within earshot of the client's boyfriend! Does that not register with you or do you do the same thing with your clients? I'm not getting your change of pace here. What I can suggest is to do a google search if you want a fun light conversation about Workout, you will be hard pressed to find one because judging by the blog replies to Warner and Peeler, people dislike Warner and they feel Peeler was wronged even after last nights show (which I did not watch because I'm on boycott). Oh one more thing, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that Doug's friends were uncomfortable and are going to stick with the woman in power. Jackie has the show, the power and the name behind her and I'm sure she donated some of her many many JW products to the cause not to mention attached her name to it (which was still in good standing at the time) you don't know what goes on behind closed doors with Doug's friends and Peeler. If they want to stick with Jackie on this then they're wrong, Jackie and Doug were NOT close, not even, she just had the name...think about that.



I only said that the possibility of a hidden anti-gay agenda couldn't be totally discounted. I didn't say this aspect included anyone or everyone here but it exists out there and I didn't even consider that part of it. I just wanted to respect those who feel and care deeply about these issues.

You asked if it didn't matter to me if she didn't know who Jamie was or if she had cancer? Well, read my original posts. I thought it was completely immature, unprofessional behavior. I'm still not excusing it.... have just decided to ease up a bit on that side of things.

Do I think trainers should talk about their clients? No. Do I think they should discuss other trainers, staff, etc, No. But they almost always do. A gym is a very gossipy place. Good, bad, right or wrong, it is....

I'm a different kind of trainer. I work under a Director/Coach. Each of us have our area and it's very specific. We don't really have a lot of prima donnas around here because it's the nature of the sports for which we focus but I have friends I went to college with who are now trainers on professional teams (football and basketball) and it's a freaking nightmare sometimes! They deal with and see so much crappy terrible behavior and they do complain about it. There are some really awful guys in professional sports (I know one trainer who works in the WNBA but we're not super close. So no gossip wink.gif ) A lot of these guys are superstars for kids and I guess when I thought about some of the things I've seen and heard, I just sort of thought....alright, this issue of ego, arrogance and self-entitlement is a huge problem but it's widespread. I'll just keep my complaints about it focused on the biggest offenders (and there are many).That's all really. Maybe I just got tired. I've gotten into some major heated debates on Sports Boards over some athletes and didn't want to do that here. Anyway, I know they are separate issues but they have some overlap..... especially, in my world.

I was here for the same reasons you are, for the same things that happened on the show but then after all the fighting (and I was even attacked for what I don't even know?) And after nothing from Jamie, I just sort of thought, oh well.... not really a huge deal.... at least not when I compare it to my multi-millionaire, professional-athlete, assh*le, list. laugh.gif These guys are almost always given a free pass because of fans or worse, superfans and the revenue they generate. It's bad. And some of the fans are just nuts. They'll excuse ANY kind of hideous behavior! And there's always a great deal of emotion when someone does something very publicly wrong.....Hey, I was all over the Michael Vick thing and I can't tell you how many times I was called a racist.

It's hard for me to make a clear and exact point here because my point isn't completely clear and exact concerning the show. So by being in the middle, I've become the kid that no one wants on their kickball team! sad.gif

And Peeler..... sigh....... there's just nothing there for me. My observation (and that's all it is) is that he wouldn't survive a day or an hour in my world. My view is just coming from a different perspective. I just see a guy who talks a lot but doesn't have a whole lot to back it up. His interviews were also bizarre and he's a bit unsteady... When I saw all those people just standing there staring at him, I just thought wow, he must have really annoyed these people... many and most of whom were Doug's friends. Jackie didn't run that thing. Those people were Doug supporters. Jackie was just a very small part of that.... some people were clearly offended. That's all I'm saying based on what I saw.

Would Jackie survive in my world? Yeah, totally. She might butt heads with some other egos but she walks the walk when it comes to hard work and dedication. I'm over simplifying but there's a difference there for sure....

Hey! How come no one has talked about Renessa? I really don't care what she does but she does have a 12 year old daughter and I really wanted to know what other people thought of that!

Since no one wants me on their team, I'll just kick the ball around all alone until I become the master! Muwahahaha
