Peace, Chip

I'd imagine there will be a lot more than 36 votes. I imagine there will be a lot less than 18 "No"s. Heck, I'd vote "yes" twice if I could.

Excellent !

Whether he was buying for personal use or to kick start his business is an important distinction to me. Doug Schmell was removing funds that were entrusted to be held safely. They were not his and he buying personal books with other people's money. When you are self employed or running a small business (like you and I do) you have accounts payable and accounts receivable and there is an overlap. Your accounts payable account can be late and yet you can still have money in accounts receivable to reinvest in the business. It's the nature of small business. It's why many bills can and are payable 30 / 60 / 90 days out. It allows businesses stay liquid while floating in the middle. The intent with the Star Wars figures is an important distinction IMO because people who work for themselves think differently than collectors. That is where I was going with my point. And yes, Chip belongs in the HOS, and yes it wasn't OK that he didn't answer anyone until Brock's CL post, and yes it's not OK that he didn't ship packages out. And I'm not sleeping in a Holiday Inn Express tonight. I have been self employed for 35 of my 53 years of life. I have never, ever spent money I did not have in hand. It is not only a bad habit to get into, it is dangerous, and if you want to really dissect it, can become criminal. I work for myself AND I am a collector and would always put paying my debts before any "deal". TBH anyone who can see this as "OK" would raise red flags in my mind. Yup

Sorry Roy, but were I in a tight spot financially I would think about a job and working hard at maintaining it. And that's all I'd think about. Not quick flips. WTF solution is that ?

Let's get it started then. HoS that good for nothing. There, you have my vote.

If you're in a hole, you DON'T spend money on "stuff", you pay your debts and set yourself straight.

Kudos to you Brock/Andrew for confirming what most of us already know

First class ticket to HoS.

How do you get fired from Uber?? Filling up that gas tank is a lot of work. Just too much effort. That and asking the customer to pay for it.

Fired from his job ? Either repeatedly late or no show, slacking or no interest. My guess is all three.

As I said, holding someone accountable and lighting torches are two different things. If someone caught Chip with a kilo of cocaine and a room full of hookers that he bought with everyone's money I'd say light the torches. But when you are dealing with mental illness, it's not about 'good ole' know how' and elbow grease. There are deeper issues and they deserve a little more respect. I know first hand. Want to nominate him? Throw the book at him. I'm with you. But can we please stop with the derogatory comments? That does nothing positive. You're starting from an assumption of complete honesty and lack of manipulation on the part of the person from whom we're receiving all this information about the "illness". At this point, we should be removing slack and assumptions of honesty, not expanding them. The level of manipulation and responsibility avoidance we have been witness to tells me it's just as likely we're dealing with someone using "illness" as a shield or crutch and may not actually be suffering from it, at least sans a level of exaggeration. Exaggerating or leveraging the perception of mental illness as cover for poor organization and manipulative business practices is far more offensive than people demanding responsibility from someone who has repeatedly had issues with fulfilling what's owed from them. Just sayin' the basic assumptions for your sympathy may not be what we are being told they are. I have no reason to believe anything I'm being told thus far. Nuff said.

Excellent !

A voice of reason Without a doubt, should be HOS. Try to eliminate the possibility of him ever scamming again on the forums. +1
