Claiming someone is bullying you does not mean that they are. There needs to be specific examples cited. I have been following this discussing in all the public online forums and I have not seen any examples of the aforementioned bullying.

The cyber-bulling (hardly limited to the Facebook calumny) that they've been subjected to is unconscionable.

Public humiliation is no way to solve problems. This back and forth on Facebook does nobody any good. If Ross had a problem he should have taken it directly to Villegas and Wallin.

Opinions vary on both sides and both are right to some degree whether they would admit it or not. It's over, no one can please everyone all of the time - so get over it. This is a "live, learn, move on and let live" situation. Having been to the event for many years, I can only say this.
