No, and I give to charities a lot, including a direct withdrawal at work for United Way, but as the saying goes, there can be too much of a good thing.
I hit the forums for a break from real life, to talk/argue/etc. funny books, and I would imagine I'm not alone. When real bad news hits a member of our community, I'm all for a discussion and help (like with Nik's untimely passing) but I also think running a Forum Auction for someone's second cousin is going a bit too far.
Hey Vince, Just a little curious, did you ever donate anything to Nik's auction?
As much as I would like to know the answer to this question, it really isn't anyone's business.
I don't mind, and the answer is no, I was not able to buy anything at Nik's auction. If you remember, I was immediately heading off on a family vacation where I didn't have Net access, and when this was brought up (the auction was during a Canadian long weekend) I endured all sorts of insults along the lines of "I guess Nik should have picked a more convenient time to pass away" and similar.
Pretty low stuff, even for the CGC Boards.
No one cares, Vince. In fact, your attempt to make yourself appear the victim in the scenario is your newest low and the worst display of bad taste (outside of Whisp saying Nik got what he deserved) I have seen in a while... and that's saying a lot... even for the CGC boards.
Thats what happens when you bully someone into a corner, they attack back.
Funny how everything you guys did to me and what nik said to me when I got out of the hospital which was along the lines of to bad I wasn't dead are all considered words on the internet that I am suppose to get over and don't mean anything but then what I said is such a big deal and get brought up from time to time.
You can't have rules for yourselves and rules for others which is becoming more and more apparent as time goes on is what your group does.
