Let's do something nice for Mewwit!
The ClubHouse: General Discussion Archives: Let's do something nice for Mewwit!
Seamonkey | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 01:36 pm     Well, as i said yesterday.. in the Danielle thread.. if I vote, and I think I just might , I'll vote for Josh cuz I think he is honest about his feelings for her.. I've heard not ONE cheap shot he's made about Merrit.. while Danielle has said some rather unkind things about her family .. like she sees this as a vacation FROM family where Josh hates being away from Merrit.. But.. more important, I really want to play with several minds.. Roddy, Eric, Lisa, Chiara, Danielle, Gerry... Gerry just got stuff from home, Lisa's had hers, as have Roddy and Marcellas. And it might make them take Josh more seriously too.. might not be so good for Josh. Marcellas needs to win yet another luxury.. no.. people resent that. Merrit and Furry didn't come here and campaign, they came here and found this thread and were delighted that anyone wanted to vote for Josh, and they were excited.. I hardly call that campaigning.. JMO and I'm not urging anyone else to vote anyway they don't want to vote. Now, if you REALLY want to donate the money you would use to call.. how bout making a small donation to this BOARD?? You can do this thru paypal.. |
Bmh | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 01:39 pm     Danielle has had kids since she was just 16 yrs old..Seamonkey..she has been a mother for over about 14 yrs...she did not have much of a teenage life..she was married by 20..she wanted a break..you would want a break too..if you had kids when you were only 16..and she still misses her kids..and she said she felt badly bc she was being selfish by leaving them..but she isn't she deserve this break!..My vote is definitely for Danielle..Josh does not deserve it in my book |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 01:50 pm     I thinnk all of the points made about variyous people deserving it have validity. Danni misses her kids, Josh his GF, Gerry gis wife, Jason his brother, etc. I don't doubt that for a minute. And there are lots of perspectives as to why someone should or shouldn't get a vote. I also have to agree that Merritt and Fanny were happy to hear support, yet didn't start any of it. Nor have they said anything bad about anyone knocking Josh. Let them and anyone else campaign--it happens every time we state our case for or against someone. |
Furry | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 02:41 pm     Whoa! I haven't had the time to read through this whole thread, but from the looks of it, this thing has taken on a life of its own. Merritt is not here, so I can only speak for myself, but I had no intention of trying to force anyone's hand or manipulate their vote. Vote for whomever you like or vote for no one at all. This is supposed to be something fun...I nice gesture to uplift the spirits of a HG and give them a little connection to home. A hug on paper you might call it. So, please don't misconstrue our intent as being manipulative. I just wanted to clarify that situation. Merritt simply misses Josh, and was touched that someone else would sense the connection they have and agree that it would be nice for him to receive a letter from her. I apologize if this has caused conflict. |
Iceprincess | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 02:44 pm     Furry don't apologize for the way you guys feel, unfortunately people come in at the middle of a thread and don't read the beginning to see that this wasn't started by you or Mewwitt! I think all side of the coin have a valid argument and to just vote the way you want. Reading about the support is really cool I love to see who is for who. So lets just get out there and spend our money (for those who have money to spend that is) and vote!!! |
Wcv63 | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 02:47 pm     Furry, you have no reason to apologize. Neither you, nor Merritt, nor Azriel (whom I believe started this thread) has done anything wrong. Support your guy! Campaign for your friend! Although my reasons for voting for Josh may differ from yours I still will be throwing my vote his way. Célébrez la différence! |
Furry | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 02:50 pm     Good to hear. Just trying to diffuse any unnecessary animosity. You know...Make love, Not war. LOL! |
Twiggyish | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 02:53 pm     I agree with them hon. (This is board is certainly full of varying opinions..LOL) No need to apologize. |
Fanny | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 02:55 pm     (just to clarify...Lance you meant Furry not Fanny) |
Jaysgal | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 03:13 pm     No offence, but this is plain solicitation. It is one thing to try persuasion or campaigning, but it is another to solicit. Above all, I think this opens up door for continual solicitation and conflicts. As I said in another thread, I don't care who it is for, whether Jason (my favourite) or anyone else, things like this turn me off. It makes me not want to be a part of a forum. As much as I appreciated the fact that he kept his promise not to vote out Lori, that does not constitute a reason to vote for him. I do not know if he motive was really to stick to his words or because he wasn't fond of Amy. In any case, Josh and his gf are young couples. I don't see why my vote should be treated as some bribery option. Thanks, but Merritt's supposed "niceness" is not what cuts it for me. It is merit that cuts it for me. So far, Josh has not proven to merit it. If people want to vote for Josh, then so be it. Nonetheless, I don't need another "Chicken George" drama around me. Btw, Merritt looks quite waay younger than Josh (i.e, like in her late, late teens). Does anyone know her age? |
Spygirl | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 03:21 pm     DULY noted, Jays. Friendly suggestion -- it might be a good idea to avoid all threads related to the America's Choice because they are full of people explaining why any given houseguest should win. That way, you have no drama around you.  |
Wcv63 | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 03:23 pm     Jaygirl, what is compaigning if it is not to solicit votes? Politicians do it and they call it campaigning. Please vote for me...here are some reasons....lemme kiss that baby. People competing for sholarships do it...please vote for me...here are my extracurricular activities. You don't want to vote for Josh? Fine. But by remarking that you "don't like things like this" when speaking of other peoples discussions regarding various reasons to vote for Josh you are trampling on our right to voice our opinions. Bribery option? Where in the world did that come from? Did someone offer you a bribe? Is someone saying they will pay for your vote? Were you offered livestock or stock options? No drama here. No one is trying to circumvent rules. No one is reaching into your wallet and using your money to place votes except for you if you should so choose. |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 03:28 pm     Fanny, you are correct--I meant Furry--my apologies to both of you for that mistake. |
Fanny | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 03:40 pm     no problem lance!  |
Furry | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 05:12 pm     Jaysgal: Merritt turned 28 last week. But why should that matter? |
Furry | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 05:21 pm     Oops! I answered in haste. I hope she doesn't mind me divulging that information. I think she should be grateful for her youthful good looks. (I need a bigger tennis shoe...one I can't fit in my mouth.) |
Azriel | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 05:43 pm     Well, I see the monster still lives. I started this thread and I just want to clarify to anyone reading it. I do not know Josh or Merritt. I have no connection with them. Merritt knew nothing about this thread before I started it. I've seen Merritt's posts on our board and I appreciate that she has taken her time to talk to us about Josh. I see how much she misses him and how much she adores him. I've also noticed that Josh talks about her often in the house and I have really found it touching that he always keeps his word when he swears 'on his love for Merritt' To me this was no different than any other America's Choice thread. I had a reason why I wanted Josh to get the letter and I stated my reason and wanted to give a place to others who felt the same way to talk about it. Some people came in with humor and said why they wouldn't vote for Josh and I thought those posts were pretty funny and didn't bother me at all, but I never dreamed that people would come in this thread just to talk ugly about Josh (over and over ad nauseum in some cases) I thought there were enough I hate Josh threads on the board. Anyway, Merritt, I'm sorry for making a fuss and confusing people. I never meant to hurt you in all of this. |
Twiggyish | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 05:49 pm     Az, I'm with you. I think it was a nice gesture on your part. Now let's hope this stays a positive thread. I just want to know what prize you're giving out to vote for him. (just kidding!!) |
Furry | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 06:35 pm     Azriel, No need to apologize. I spoke with her today about this thread. You have in no way hurt Merritt, rather your consideration had quite the opposite effect. |
Kaili | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 07:45 pm     I just don't get what the big deal is about this thread. It was a suggestion ("lets' do something nice for Mewwitt")- not a way to force people to do anything. Nobody can force anyone to vote/not vote/whatever. I think starting this thread was a nice thing to do. And no different than someone saying that we should vote for Danielle because she has kids or whatever reason people have stated in support for any other HG. Nobody is offering $500 to vote for anyone a bunch of times, but if someone wanted to do that it would be their choice. If people don't like that this thread was started, there's no reason to come in here and complain that it was started. Just as you have the choice to change a TV channel, or not watch the feeds, you have the choice to ignore this thread if it is not something that interests you. I don't want to sound like I'm attacking anyone, but this is going in circles! I hope Josh does win this one and I have my reasons for that. I probably will not vote because I never do for these things, but I see no problem with people discussing who they want to vote for. This board is for discussions, and people in this particular thread are discussing why they want Josh to win, who they will vote for, and why. I see nothing wrong with that. Good luck to Josh and if he does get this one, I hope Merritt writes him a really good letter. Maybe if the letters aren't already written she should mention the insanity he has caused on the internet, but they probably edit/censor letters first anyway. |
Off2cthwizrd | Friday, August 02, 2002 - 08:05 pm     Furry, Merritt's age is in her profile - you can remove the shoe |
