When a DUer offer to help me we arranged for her to pay the bill directly to the company I was in jwirr Aug 2014 #3

I think that's an excellent idea, and shows legitimacy. MineralMan Aug 2014 #6

Who cares about your strategy for giving to DUers who reach out for help? ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #8

I don't know who cares. MineralMan Aug 2014 #9

You're welcome. nt ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #12

Don't kick the thread if you don't like the topic...that's a "strategy." nt MADem Aug 2014 #13

i don't care anything about whether or not I'm kicking a thread. I said what I ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #14

I don't have a problem with the OP expressing his views. I think he has a point. MADem Aug 2014 #15

It's difficult to measure "tone" in Internet posts. MineralMan Aug 2014 #18

Whether you realize it or not, sometimes you come off as lecturing. However, I ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #20

I'm aware of that, because people have told me that. MineralMan Aug 2014 #21

I'm not admonishing you for taking the side of the supposedly needy. MADem Aug 2014 #26

WHOA! Damn that's a lot of admonishment! I stand corrected and have learned from you ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #27

"But since what I think is wrong, I guess I should apologize for having any opinion on the matter at MADem Aug 2014 #33

I never took it as MM was posting directly to ME. That's just ridiculous. It was ME however ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #36

You certainly responded to him as if you did. MADem Aug 2014 #41

I'm sorry you so upset at my comments. I did apologize to him after you and him ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #50

I am not at all upset. Not sure why you would think that. MADem Aug 2014 #51

It's not about me wanting to have the last word. But, in order to move on, there must be one. I ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #54

I appreciate your comments. MineralMan Aug 2014 #17

For me, your strategy only applies to those whom have a very low post-count or ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #19

OK. As I said in my OP, everyone has his or her own method of deciding MineralMan Aug 2014 #22

I generally give to organizations I have dealt with personally in some fashion. MADem Aug 2014 #28

I have some favorite local organizations that have proven MineralMan Aug 2014 #31

It looks like we have similar giving strategies. nt MADem Aug 2014 #34

I saw that original post... TDale313 Aug 2014 #37

It was something about posts on Discussionist that MineralMan Aug 2014 #42

Thanks. TDale313 Aug 2014 #46

Lots of that going around, it seems. MineralMan Aug 2014 #62

You having a bad day Chisolm? onecent Aug 2014 #23

Nope, I'm having a great day so far, as a matter of fact. Slept good, just had a great home ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #29

A little respect for a longstanding and decent DUer would be nice malaise Aug 2014 #30

I respect you. Also, I've been a DUer for a couple of years longer than MM. No, ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #32

LOL malaise Aug 2014 #35

"Still MM is a great DUer in my book and he's entitled to his view on the matter." ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #40

Agreed malaise Aug 2014 #43

And that's why you and I have always been quite chummy... ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #58

Actually, my thread was prompted by a different request for MineralMan Aug 2014 #47

Thank you, I was not aware of a hidden post, though I did read the beginings of trumad's thread and ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #52

Not a problem. I do not take replies to my posts personally. MineralMan Aug 2014 #55

I think it's a good strategy cwydro Aug 2014 #44

I'm chill. And I have apologized for coming across acerbically. That was not my mood when I ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #49

You do, since you read it. roody Aug 2014 #56

Yep, you got me! ChisolmTrailDem Aug 2014 #57
