    [QUOTE=iamironman;140955]I have nothing to do with this... Ldub and I have settled our differences... (I think)(I hope)

    I was just making an totally innocent comment about what I thought the "SS" meant... I meant no references other than that... everyone else that replied to this thread seems to know what I meant... sorry if this stirred up shyte.

    Don't give it a second thought...

    Some of my best Buds started out as most worthy adversaries, and I can truthfully say, that I'm friends with at least one member here who didn't like me one little bit, until we met face to face.

    Life is funny like that...

    Ya, now now. I have actually been a Site Supporter for a while but it didn't change under my status here. Never actually cared what it said as long as I know I put some $$ into the VX.I pot.

    If I do start to think that, I'll let you know. In the meantime, how about we agree on this. You take care of your half of the conversation and I'll take care of mine.

    But that's just me...

    Oh, BTW, if you're making a (not very) veiled comparison of my "friendly reminder/encoragement to donate", to being bullied by nazis, then you my friend, must have led a very sheltered existence.
    Actually, it was the recollection of all the childish, hateful name-calling and holier-than-thou self-adulation (similar to what your doing again now) that came across as nazi-ish last time....but maybe that was just me. Or do you not remember that part?

    iamironman - The only reason I quoted you was because you happened to be the person to make the SS/Nazi comment. I knew you didn't mean it to imply anything along the lines of what I used it for. And I still don't see this as shyte being stirred up anyway, merely an exchange of opinions.

    In all Ldub, if you feel the need to think of me as an adversary, or someone who doesn't like you one little bit, that's totally up to you. Other than the fact that you seem to have latched on to something I said (that was misinterpreted from the start anyway), I can't say that I've really given you or the matter all that much thought since then. (Meaning no disrespect to Moncha or his efforts on this site).

    So to clear up what was misinterpreted back then. I never said I was opposed to donating to the site, that was what someone else implied. If I had been that opposed to the idea of helping this site continue, I never would have donated to the new server fund at that time.

    We all have our reasons and justifications for doing what we do, but I won't bore you with mine on this topic or stand idly by while you attempt to belittle me with yours. Regardless of what they are, they can be misinterpreted at times by others. For example, to me it might appear that too much of your self-esteem is tied in with your ownership of a VehiCross, and as a by-product, your image on this website, but I admit that I may be misinterpreting what I "see" as you continue to try to justify your actions with your also-not-so-veiled comments.

    But hey, none of this mutual condescension is doing anyone any good now is it....? You can call me all the names that you want, but despite what you or anyone else may want to think, I'm not using that as a justification for not having donated to this site to date.

    Wow, I hate to be the subject of disdain. I appreciate support in any fashion. I hope this doesn't go into the crapper.

    Gary, I did some checking and I did make a boo boo. I will fix you all up and I apologize. The manual additions for donations gets missed sometimes.

    Wow!... good come back, psychological eval & everything...

    I'll admit, I do get a bit overzealous when I get my teeth into a problem, my bad & I'm sorry to anyone who's feelings I may have hurt...

    Nah, don't mention it. As long as I know the $$ went towards the site regardless of my status, I could care less. No worries.

    If we start getting charged by the number of post we have on here, I am REALLY going to need to cut back and find something else to keep me entertained while I am at work. I don't think I could afford that!!

    You see, it's those kinds of responses that tell me you still aren't really trying. You talk about how good it feels to give, but using donating to this site (and going out of your way to state what you give) as an example makes it appear that it's only worthwhile to you if you also receive adulation for you're giving; not to mention the fact that you're also receiving a direct return for your donation in the form of continued use of a website where you seem to personally choose to spend a lot of time.

    That is where our two opinions differ. If that's where you choose to direct your money in what you consider the spirit of giving, that's up to you, but please don't insult me by trying to pass off your act as being so altruistic.

    Try dropping one of those $100's anonymously into a Salvation Army pot (or any charity of your choice you believe is particularly effective) some day to help someone who maybe can't even afford internet access, let alone a vehicle that would lead them to a site like this in the first place, and see if it makes you feel any different. That shouldn't be much more difficult that clicking a Paypal button, because fortunately for you, there should be any number of people out and about this time of year seeking help from people as giving as you....after all...'tis the season.

    It seems we are very alike in that way, although I'm still not sure why you insist on trying to escalate a difference of opinion into a "problem". But however you choose to view it, don't worry about hurting my feelings. We're just two people talking, so it's all good.
