Obviously this is not

Obviously this is not Kerri. So, Kerri Hilton Paris's father, who are you? Didn't win when you thought you had it in the bag? Can't find anyone else to blame? Listened to your parents when they told you that you should've won? Just a little too drunk at the time to be allowed to be in charge of a computer? Let's look at this logically. So Kerri successfully impersonated three other adjucators for 365 days last year plus some of this year. She kept them hidden and made sure the general public and their family and friends did not notice their absence. Or maybe she gagged and bound them at an adjudicators meeting and has kept them that way or hypnotically compliant since then. Yes, she decided all the awards at the Finleys; no one else had any say in it at all! Come on!!!! Mr. KHPF, do you think you should rethink your stand in light of the awards and the spread of major catagories? Me thinks so. What didn't you win champ, or did you win something and think you should have got more, or even all? Where's the evidence of your claims? Is there a point or did you just need to lash out in some sort of angst driven frenzy? Maybe you could answer these questions or state how you think her plan worked, or better still, maybe just keep your conspiracy theories to yourself. Well done ITA ... a good night and great spread of awards.
