Just how much money did you guys think I recived. When I started this thread it was to offer members here to sell what I have. I got 3 donations. $235.00 2 know my personal problems and dont want it back. The 3rd was refunded this morning, but funny nothing was mentioned of that.
Vic, there’s no secret about refunds here. I asked for a refund and you gave it to me. Thank you. I didn’t want to start a run on the bank but you brought it up.
Your ‘kind’ response with my refund, for all to see:
“Sorry that you think I'm a lair or some kind of fruad. People should do more research before making accusations that they know nothing about! Walk a mile in my shoes and then decide if you should ruin someones life on a public forum, without having a clue what your talking about. Thanks a lot”
I know you have problems. I know you have a back story of some pretty bad stuff. I never doubted that. But when I see holes in a story, tales of a pattern of history from other long-time members, pictures of an incredible 40’ bus and bragging about a new travel trailer purchased just months ago, that rubs me the wrong way. That’s why I asked for a refund. Oh, and STILL no answer to the fake picture. It must have been such an inside joke that even buckeye didn’t get it. I’m pretty sure I know why you did it, but you won’t say it.
You might also recall I was one of your earliest and most enthusiastic supporters. Page 8 post #72. Normally, I’m totally in line with what HavasuDave said about keeping donations private. IMO, if someone’s in it for the publicity, they’re not doing it right. But I went against my principles this time to try and motivate others to match or exceed my donation, even admitting the amount I challenged people to beat. "Make me look like a tight-ass" I said. It’s in my post. Read it. I actually plead your case to guys at work looking for donations.
But as for “ruining someone’s life on a public forum” as you accused me and others of in your response, you can point the finger at yourself. When you join a forum, anything you post is up to public scrutiny. Not everyone has the ability to track down and differentiate the facts from fiction. That’s the risk you take. That’s why, from now on, I only talk minibikes here, not religion, politics, or family.
If this has all been one huge misunderstanding, then I am sorry for any part I played in it, but I’m done making donations. You didn't ask for cash, but you sure were quick with that PayPal address. I suggest next time you simply place an AD for your collection in the For Sale section, call attention to it, and leave it at that. If you want to make special offers to certain people, do it in private.
