Its the last day of the month....

So...one comment from me results in all that? Kind of rules out any notion of self-aggrandizing on my part doesn't it.

Something else you all might want to look up is "self-fulfilling prophecy". Some of you know full well what posting the same old types of comments in these threads will result in, yet you do it anyway and then feign ignorance. As I said though, it's not that hard to predict. An apparent need for drama is an all-to-common affliction these days...just look at the amount of "unscripted" television available today and all the people who can't seem to live without it.

Say what..

I would suggest that predicting your reply is the diametric opposite of feigning ignorance.

Settle down guys - please.

There will always be those that -
Want to donate, and do so.
Want to donate, but have higher priorities for their limited cash right now.
Don't want to donate.


Thanks to Scott's (Moncha's) generosity and hard work, this site is open to all of the above.

That doesn't mean that a gentle nudge to remind people of a shortfall in the monthly target should divide our group, or be hit with unjustified criticism.

Similarly, let our other less fortunate friends live in peace and without recriminations.

Let the donations flow from those that can, and let the reminders show up when there is a deficit.

I am sure that Scott will give us a warning well before we open up to a blank page.

Of course that's what you'd suggest given all you've said in this thread. I stand corrected though, it is possible that you're NOT feigning ignorance.

It takes two sweetness...

If ya dinna wanna tango, ya wunna come to the dance...

[Y33TREKker]

...without recriminations....

That's the part that always seem to get conveniently forgotten. Promoting donations has always been entirely understandable. I personally just always found it ironic that this all started with some taking offense at my getting too personal with my observations on the matter and "psyche" evaluations of certain participants, when they've apparently still never considered the fact that by throwing around some of the derogatory labels they were in the beginning, they were doing the very same thing, and that they did it first.

Selective memory is a very powerful thing sometimes.

When have I ever declined the offer to dance sweetness?

Selective memory strikes again.

Are you serious?

Unca PK, Larry & Jo started it...

Ooooo, I'm Stinging all over...

Please continue the dance...I mean, twist & spin...

[Ldub]

Selective memory strikes again.

You can't even come up with your own veiled insults now?... WTF?

I guess a better analogy might have been...

Don't complain about sore feet, while continuing to dance...

Well, at least you're finally admitting that your comments are insults.

Yes I am serious. I can't help it that your selective memory is preventing you from recalling all the threads similar to this one in the past. Talk about twist and spin.

And this is what you consider dancing? I've changed my mind. I think I will decline this one as all you seem interested in doing is going out of your way to deliberately step on my toes...as usual.

Have a nice evening and enjoy the "dance".

I said "veiled" insults...
They appear completely different on the surface...

I believe I just was...

OK...

[Ldub]

I think I hear it coming...

You people are all too funny, and all of you obviously graduated magna cum laude.

Not me man...I just barely got a HS diplo...thank goodness for shop classes...

No...I get all of my eloquence, my suave demeanor, & gracious humble facade, + all my smarts, from the internet...

LOL, internet tests are good enough in my book. Hell, the only thing I learned in school was that I wasted 12 years of my life. Its funny and ridiculous at the same time. I didn't go to college and a bunch of my friends did and now I make more money than they do and don't have a crushing school loan debt. Oh well.
