They didn't. As far as I know, no-one from PA nominated themselves, I certainly didn't. I did, in fact, put forth a nomination but it wasn't anyone from PA. It nominated Issuevoter. Whether or not he was given the opportunity to nominate himself, I have no idea, but this nonsense is purely unfounded hysterics.
can I ask you a question you do not have to answer of course..
but being a member of both forums..which site do you honestly think is the better run...they both have different rules and even elections... they both have secret rooms or a place where only the chosen ones can contribute...[I know at least we can read it]..

the point is...
why the secrecy???...why the need for that?...if it involves people talking about others behind their backs
is that a nice thing to encourage..??..
it also encourages paranoia you could all be talking about the Bachelor but there are those that will think you are scheming all sorts of nasty things...its human nature...
as I say WHY THE NEED.?..I see it as a POWER thing...and not a nice way to use POWER...
not holding you responsible skippy as I know fd is in full control...
as a member bo and I presume a chosen one who can access secret room.......do you honestly think its fair?..
now I know there are folks who rant and rave and maybe spoil things.. I dont know .. but they can get sent to siberia for a spell and as we are told forever...so what is the NEED for having this secret place??...
I myself prefer openness....
but I am ok with some things as long as i understand the NEED....
Cods it is just like a tea room at work where you sit and chatter. There is nothing sinister about it.
When I used to use Yahoo Chat rooms a few of us always congregated on PM in a conference and chatted above the fray. I see nothing wrong with that.
If people are excluded it is by their own doing. There is no secret handshake but if it is abused, subsequent inclusion is limited. I have no problem with that either.
