Could you two take this to Dogh'd's and have a good bar fight? Butterfly Dream will set up the betting pool...
OK so my page-long ramble was erased when I was logged out by the PF logout timer 
Mind you this won't be as good or as well-phrased as the first, but...
Chris--
Personally, from email you, you seem like an honest man. I've seen the exact same characteristics in Sheryl, but have also known her for a longer period of time.
A few things about your post... (Sheryl, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to disclose some of what we chatted about)
"This was weeks ago. She claims her computer was down. I've been trying to contact her for MONTHS not weeks. I've written from several different e-mail addresses with no response."
Well, Sheryl said she forgot her username and password for her site account, (which was lost when her computer crashed, since she keeps things like that on her computer just like me, I've been in the same predicament) and the webhosts "are being real asses about it". Since Sheryl doesn't have a lot of money, and is also looking for a good deal, (Heck, She's got more money than I have) she was looking for a good deal on web hosting for her site. I've seen her host's site, and personally, I wouldn't use them if my life depended on it. When she got her computer back, she was amazed at the number of obscene and harrassing emails she had received from you. She came to me and asked what she should do, given the context of the situation. I said 'just take his name off the site'. I was later told by Butterfly Dream that her computer had crashed and she lost the username/password for her site (again I point out that I've done worse, I lost the username and password for my boss's sites, and I'm the technical advisor). After i had found out, I told her to contact you, and tell you what's up. Now personally, if I was in that situation, there's no way in hell you could get me to email someone who's been harassing me. I've taken my share of harassment, and that's exactly how it plays out.
"I thought your offer to help raise money for the medals was sincere and geniune but boy was I wrong"
How so? She spent hours upon hours constantly poking and prodding us PF users to donate!
"I never made any demands on you personally to donate anything. It was a public post made to everybody."
No, but she took up the challenge. Instead of being slammed, she should at least get a thank-you, you know.
"...but you sure can't justifiy giving me a 1 no matter how you wanna spin it."
Tell that to your judges, who seem to enjoy giving bots (the ones who can't chat their way out of a wet paper bag) 7's and 8's, and giving infinitely better bots scores of 1-4. I say beauty (or lack thereof) is in the eye of the beholder. If you give people the right to vote, they sure will, and you can't threaten or change what they vote, because that would contravene the democratic way of life, and teach people that communism and other such parties are alive and well in our country.
"Yes, let everybody know that Sheryl Clyde shamefully gave her own bot a 10 while giving my bot a one."
Hmm.. Since when could you disclose sensitive information like that?
"You've taken cheap shots with no facts to back up your claims whatsoever."
I think you're in the same boat about cheap shots with my previous point...
"What does that have to say about her moral integrity."
What does slamming Sheryl have to say about your moral integrity?

Shadyman you come off looking pretty pathetic trying to defend a person who publically admits she is try to ruin my name. So the truth is out by your very own words....she did indeed receive my e-mails. Another lie from Sheryl. I challenge you to produce one obscene and harrassing e-mail she received from me. Another lie from Sheryl. Man your pretty guliable a person to believe anything she says. I see she has duped you pretty bad.
Any reasonable person would have responded to my first e-mail which by the way I did indeed thank her for her efforts and ask her politely to remove my name. A simple response explaining she was having server trouble or whatever would have sufficed.
You need to get your facts together and consider the source of your information before making such a post.
"Tell that to your judges"....I resent that remark. I never hand picked them and I got 6 committee members who will vouch for that including the Professor.
If you give people the right to vote, they sure will, and you can't threaten or change what they vote, because that would contravene the democratic way of life, and teach people that communism and other such parties are alive and well in our country.
Another twisted argument by the very people doing the war voting. The rules clearly state:
They will be asked to be fair and unbiased when
placing their vote. The contest depends on the goodwill of all those taking part.
If you feel giving the 2 time winner of the Chatterbox Challenge a 1 is fair and unbiased then you got a problem.
May I remind you I never took this public. Sheryl choose to do that. She has also been caught in 2 lies now. She said she never received my e-mails and now we now she did.
She says my e-mails were obscene and harassing...another lie.
Shady do me a favor and stick to bot building. You make a lousy defense lawyer.
It is amazing the crap I've gone through to bring a contest like this together. All the hard work and asking so little in return. It is really pathetic to see how some people react to what is suppose to be a fun contest.

"Another twisted argument..."
So you're calling me a war voter? Now you're going to turn up my voting results too?
"It's amazing the crap..."
I agree that you've put a lot of work into the contest, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's only in post-contest people-bashing that the problems arise.

No, let's not mix words here. I'm calling you a person who is trying to defend war voting. Yes, it's a part of the game but it doesn't make it right. I was content to let it go....winning most popular bot wasn't something I was interested in but The Professor felt differently and yes I supported him in that effort.

All the best. 
Chris I was being sarcastic when I said I was out to get you.
I really don't want to spend anymore time on this so let it drop.

Well, actually, I am not sorry. Initially I was, but your reactions are WAY over the top, and that's it, as far as I'm concerned. The only thing I'm sorry about is that I reacted to it.
Lunar you shouldn't pass judgement on my reaction when you don't know half the story. If you knew I doubt you would feel that way.
Sheryl I plan to drop it when you take care of one more piece of business. It seems you have an ad on your site stating the organizer of the Chatterbox Challenge has stated there will not be another contest next year. I have no idea where you got that from....certaintly not from me. I'm asking you nicely to remove it as there will indeed be another Chatterbox Challenge.

Alright, stop this. Enough with the melodrama. Take a deep breath, and work your problems out in email, not here. Any further posts on the matter will be deleted.
