Mainly because then JDF taught his fans how to cheat his characters to victory, which is the most un Power Ranger way to respond to an issue ever. I guess he's still possessed by Rita.

This in a nutshell. Had he not instructed people to do it on his behalf things would be a little different. But he quite openly told people the cheat around the system, then when the "punishments" came down and Bandai erased the "cheat" votes, his totals were either only marginally affected or in several cases actually increased.

Not only that, but for all of the "I READ EVERY POST" statuses we get, he really doesn't regulate his page. I've personally witnessed that anyone who doesn't share the same mindset as the majority within his fanbase is ostracized and verbally harassed.

It's borderline blind loyalty with them.

They whined when they were losing, and then once the Tommy Rangers were winning, they became rather ugly and boorish. And yet they claim that we're being hateful.

Is it bad that I still like JDF? I mean, I haven't voted in this contest (mostly because I'm not really into these types of things), and I haven't been really paying attention to the comments made by the fans on his Facebook page about this situation. In fact, I'm mostly confused by how people are taking this so seriously (even JDF, which isn't making him look good right now). Really, I'm more enthralled by the fact that Austin St. John is starting to make more convention appearances now. That, and I have friends who had met JDF before, and they say that he's a perfectly cool guy.

Though I'm not surprised that this sort of thing had happened, really.

oh boy, I haven't checked this in a couple of days and looks like all hell has broken loose. I only voted in the first round of this thing to get a contest entry and I pretty much wrote this off. First because it didn't have ever ranger and second because it did t make you create an account to vote I knew it would become a spamfest. I didn't want a bunch of Tommy keys that we were likely to be getting anyway but didn't expect much else.

Anyway, someone can correct me I am wrong here since I didn't read it all. The way I see it they would have had to go in and delete multiple votes from the same IP addresses within short periods of time. That would make the most sense and be the easiest for way to do it. It would mean that any excess votes would be deleted and then it would seem that the big jump came from people voting against Tommy rangers. Is that wrong? Is everyone suggesting they just fixed the vote by removing a random number of votes to make certain people win? Someone clue me in here because otherwise I don't see the rage. The whole thing was pretty messed up to start.

Wow, I'm just learning about all of this and it's saddening. The original cast of MMPR have been through so much already, that to add this to it is and for JDF to act this way is insulting to his former cast members, fans, and all of the members of the MMPR family. While my love for this property is mainly for Super Sentai at this point, my childhood was dominated by MMPR and it is what fuels my passion today. Oh well, this is why they say you should never meet your idols after all. You have to keep the people separate from the "characters" they are.

Just when we thought it was safe to go back into the water...

If any of you happen to know who threw this together, please let me know either on my Facebook page or a PM here. This needs to stop.

and there as me holding back the urge to pose an MMPR red stood over the beaten form of MMPR white.

Do I dare ask, where in the blazing fires of the sun did you find that?

[MKDremare]

WOW, that is exceptionally douchey for a fan to do that. I'm, just really shocked.

Kickback found it earlier in the day and was pretty upset by it as well, not sure where it originates from though.
