Title: Making Peace with MD
Post by: ripitupbaby on May 07, 2008, 06:59:23 AM
Dave Palumbo and I had a long talk this weekend at the NPC New Englands, and we have collectively decided to bury the hatchet and make peace between me and MD.  It was never Dave who I had a problem with, but Dave's the one who came up to the show for MD and had to deal with the signigificant problems that his staff caused by treating me like shit and banning me from the MD Board.

After talking through all of the issues and making sure that Dave understood where I was coming from, I agreed to put aside my differences with MD and work with Dave to do what was best for the New Englands and for the competitors.  We appreciate MD's coverage of the show and hope that they will cover additional NPC shows in the area, as we continue to try to grow the NPC in New England and make the shows better and better every year. 

It's for the greater good of the NPC in New England that I have decided to put my battle with MD in the past.  Dave made good on his word to reinstate me and my husband on the MD board (not that I will ever post there again), and he also plugged our website for selling pics of the NE's to the competitors, so I appreciate that very much.  Dave's a good guy, and I appreciate him keeping his word.  And I absolutely ADORE Collette.

Not this time.  ;D

Sometimes you just have to be the bigger person in these kinds of situations and not let other people's pettiness and lack of humor turn you into a petty person yourself.  Dave understands this as well.  I did the right thing for the good of the NPC in New England, and for the competitors.  :)

LOL @ burying the hatchet.   ;D

The show went very well.  Along with the promoter and the district chairperson, my husband and I handle all of the check-ins, judging paperwork, competitor scoring, and all of the photography...so as you can imagine, we were very busy.  There were almost 100 competitors at this one, and I was fried to a crisp by the time the night show started.

We're doing it all over again this weekend in Providence.  The NPC Maggiefit/Northern Cup Championships is this Saturday...should be a good show!

OH, I do have a FEW papparazi pics from the New Englands, which I will post if I ever get a chance to go through them.

Cool.  There is no reason at all why everyone can't be friends and work together for the greater good of bodybuilding. Simple as that.

"Peace" with MD? Why are you making this sound so grand and important Rip? You got into a fight with some mods on a messageboard, it's not that big of a deal.

So "ripitupbaby" , when are you leaving us alone for md forums? Let me know what will be your new gimmick here in order to avoid md's restriction to post here.
Good luck "mydavid" ::)

Well, for you, everything may end on the messageboard, but that's not the case for those of us who are actually involved with bodybuilding. 

The MD mods singled me out and tried to use me as some sort of example because they didn't like some of the things I had to say (which were no worse than alot of other people).  They banned me and told me that I contribute nothing at all to their board.  I was totally fine with that, and it wasn't a big deal at all...until Palumbo came up to me at the New Englands last weekend and said "we're gonna need your pictures for the MD Board"...at which point I decided to be a bitch about it. ;D

you're good and certainly going to make pro.  I was here before you, eating bad food in front of the computer.  I want Sarah Dunlap back here, and Mayra Conde, and of course Sally McNeil, Teagan Clive, and even the amazing Pillow if she is still around.  I was at the library doing all this out of love.  Do what you like, and I'll give you...um...my gimmick to post here rippy.

love Meddie

haha look who's talking ;)

Funny thing is that this still isn't resolved.  Jrgong's account is still in timeout over there for being a multi-user account.  I explained to Dave ahead of time why more than one person was using that account, but they still put it in Timeout.  I haven't even logged on to see if my account works, and I don't really care.  I haven't cared enough to try to resolve all of this crap in the last week either.  I suppose I will talk with Palumbo again when I see him this weekend at the Jr USAs. ::)
