The criticism in smiley is deserved IMO. He PMed me and annoyed me throughout Season 1 by asking me to move entire legs around and complaining that he wasn't getting first. In season 2, he PMed OC and asked to take his spot in the season and PMed me asking what locations we would be headed to next. All around, he is whiny and very pesky to deal with. He didn't annoy me in Season 3 when I enforced a strict No Stupid Questions PM rule but it took many warnings to actually get to that level. That being said, if you want to bash smiley its perfectly fine in my thread I cannot stand him.
I know all that, I've followed the whole smiley thing from the first race, but I think smiley is kind of young, and it would be mean to yell at someone who doesn't know any better. He's probably a really big fan of the race (he did put on an Amazing Race) and really wanted to succeed, he didn't know any better. I think that the bashing might hurt his self esteem at this point. But, it is sucks, so I guess you have a right to bash if you like.
Smiley PMd me when I got first to the board and had no idea what to do with online races. He literally showed me the way. So I first thought he is a super
nice guy (assuming he is a guy).
And then I saw heavy criticisms about him when I was racing crow's race. So I thought, maybe he's not a nice guy after all. :P
But yeah, while he can be annoying at times, yope just made a point that he just wanted to succeed. You don't know who he really is, so let's not judge
him. It's hard being hated on all the time.
