I am happy that this forum encourages support in many forms. Not all of us have the same sense of humour, nor do we all show our support in the same way. Thank goodness for the positivity, openness and inclusiveness of this forum.
We were having fun with what was an awkward situation for CrookedRock. LM was the party being difficult, if I recall.
I don''t always see the humour in others'' posts either. But if people are being positive and supportive, no reason to call them out for it. Some threads become silly and off topic which is wonderful (pie, anyone?). That''s why this is a good place. But there''s no point in throwing the pie when we can eat it!
Here is a quote from CR on page 10 of this thread: ''[Lost Sapphire, and all the rest of you on the voting bandwagon. I love it! Vote away!''] So I figure all is good with the world.
Sorry, but why should I respect anyone who wanted to fake statistics?Date: 7/2/2008 9:41:41 PM

Crooked... Hi there! I just wanted to say I so want to be you. You have one of the most talked about rings in the history of PS and with reason. The ring is original, amazingly executed and perfect for you. Having that gorgeous stone to boot is not bad either.
I am glad that you were able to reach a compromise with LM regarding the sizing. Also, to me, it is a form of flattery that your ring was put on his site. I don''t really think he would put it up there to make a mockery out of it. Just my humble opinion. However, your pics are better than his.... hahaha.
I think that people show support in different ways and those ways should be respected by all. I can see why some people might think is unnecessary to go to friggin'' LM''s site to vote for it. On the other hand, I think is kinda cute that people want to boost the rating to where it should be.
My rating on a scale of 1 to 10 uhh let''s see what about..... 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
At the end of the day, what matters is that YOU HAVE A SPECTACULAR ring, which shows the amount of work and effort that was put into it by you and your FI. That is what makes it very special. Enjoy it in good health and happiness.
... Please show off some new pics of that beauty when you have a chance for those who live vicariously through you....
I think jencho is not referring to discussion per se, but rather to discussion ad nauseum.
Guess what? I am traveling with my husband and I didn''t get to rate your ring on HIS computer. So that''s exactly what I am going to do now. And in fact, all those complaints about the 5 star reviews skewing the "business model" of LM''s reviews are sophistry: the only reason the ring got a low review to begin with is due to jealous girls going on there and low balling it out of envy. There is no way that your ring legitimately earned a 2.0 or whatever nonsense was on there. You know it. I know it. Everyone who has seen pictures of your ring knows it. Let''s just say that there isn''t a person on here who wouldn''t wear your ring with pride. Enjoy it and have a WONDERFUL 4th of July!Date: 7/2/2008 11:38:45 PM

Well...Truth be told, I don''t need a high rating on Leon''s site to tell me that the ring is beautiful. If I had the patience to go back through these 11 pages and count how many times I said that I''m sure it would be around 100. I''m probably a lil biased, but yah, I think it''s strange it has a low rating. I am glad he put up another pic though, bc that is the beauty of the ring.
Harriet, I just want to say that if you look back over all of my threads previous to this I have done nothing but rave about Leon. I have absolutely no reason to sway my story for any reason. I have also not said anything negative about his work. What I have said is fact. You are right, Leon does not post here, so he cannot respond. But trust me... He did in his own way.
Also I am flattered by the support from this forum, I thought the voting thing was sweet and thoughtful, not at all immature. And I just want to note that voting on a repeated basis doesn''t work... I tried! LOL
Thanks again to those of you who have chimed in recently!!!
Lesco~ Thanks so much!! I really appreciate that! I will try to get another photoshoot soon!
LostSapphire~ The quote still stands!
I think my post makes clear that the "jealous girls" I referred to are the ones who made an extra effort to log on to LM''s website and give CR''s gorgeous ring a lowball rating. No doubt you are not one of the ones who did that, so I can''t really see how this connects to you at all. Maybe I am missing something. But in any case, the fact is that there was clearly some strange coordinated effort to lowball her ring. It received well over 100 ratings which seems a bit odd in itself. Even BEFORE Lostsapphire suggested some people go on there to rate her ring more fairly, it had received an inordinately high number of ratings. My observation about what could have motivated the pettiness seems to speak for itself since her ring is magnificent, by any standards.
