No Control
People! People! Stop with all of your accusations towards me! All I asked is for my voters to do as the Partypop people said for me to do! I do not have any control over what they say...they were probably as frustrated as I was to hear about the "early" deadline. Now I will appologize one last time for THEIR actions, not mine. Do you actually think that I told them to post a message to make everyone else look bad? For the record, if I had something to say about any of the other stories I would have posted the message MYSELF! Not have my voters do it! Come on, I wanted and NEEDED this contest as much as every other contestant did, but I would NEVER say anything to hurt anyone else here. I do not even KNOW any of you. And now I want to thank all of YOU for making ME look like the Big Bad Poor Sport.

Hi Lisa... Nice welcome to the message board, isn't it?
I'm not going to speak for anyone else that is posting messages, but I can certainly speak for myself. I am not holding anyone's actions or comments against you. You have posted a few messages, and I have read them and I think that you are very well spoken. Furthermore, I have not been offended by any of your comments. There is no need for you to apologize on anyone's behalf. I do, however, think that some of their (meaning some of the people that claim to be your supporters as well as others) comments were not exactly taken as the writer may have intended, at least I hope. Intentional or not, they have been taken in offense.
As I mentioned before, I thought your story was fabulous. Indeed it is very romantic. I understand your frustration, as well as that of your friends and family, with the misunderstanding about the deadline, but there is honestly nothing that can be done. As Team PartyPOP has stated before, that initial voting is not going to determine the winner of this contest. Yes, it feels good to have the votes but when it all comes down to it they were simply used to narrow the field. I still believe you were in the top 5 and that in itself is very impressive.
Just keep your chin up and your fingers crossed... Only one more day until we all find out who the winner is. It may be someone that no one expected.
Good luck to you. I wish you and Aaron the best of luck in your future lives together :-)

Lisa, as I stated before, you are, and do handle yourself just fine in my eyes. I have nothing against you at all, or would have no reason to.
Neither I or anyone else accused you of doing anything. The only thing that was ever pointed out was the fact that the people that were directly related to you and your campain were pointing fingers, and accusing others of something that they themselves were doing.
I'm sorry that you think someone is "making ME look like the Big Bad Poor Sport.", but that was never what was intended.
What was taken from what your people posted wasn't invisible or made up. It was real, and what it got thrown back at it was just as real, and justified.
I'm sorry you got caught in the middle.
