Flashy, normally I think you're kind of funny, right now you come off like Face did after trolling the dead girl's family on TBBS. It's not funny, and there isn't really a point.
Yeah....this is what the Salvation Army and Red Cross is for, not to mention your local church. You do have a church you attend, don't you?
Ok, having consulted Elwood and Shep on the matter, I'll PM my addy to anyone who's got items to help out. Seda and I will then load em in the car and drive em down.
Yeah....I just don't feel sympathetic for the guy, even if his story is true. That's the bottom line - I don't feel sorry for him. It's great that everybody else wants to jump on the "Love Shep" bandwagon, but not me. His children are a different story, they're innocents, and I would help them.
Learn the value of shutting the fuck up. Sometimes voicing shit like this is inappropriate. Have a modicum of class.
Or, it could be that The Flashlight is after the title of most hated WF poster, which he has so often bragged about, and you're all feeding into it. Sorry, scooter, it takes energy and time to hate and I have neither for ya.
Shep, thanks for the info, I'll dig through the stuff and see what I can round up. Flashie, if this is a troll for reaction that's one thing, but if you really feel this way about it all, well, you're a bigger loser than I could have ever imagined. Outstanding display of twattery unknown to anyone I have ever run across, even Polar.
Sorry you feel that way, but I'm free to choose who I extend a helping hand to, and Shepherd ain't one of them. You can call me a heartless bastard all you like, but it's never going to change that bottom line. You reap what you sow, and Shep has spent years demonstrating that he's a small-minded, myopic bigot. I don't go out of my way to help people like that. Maybe some of it was just internet persona, but I don't really care. You want to send him some hand-me-downs? Knock yourself out. But I'm not buying a boarding pass for the Love Shep Express.
As fun as the Flashy bashing is, I think we'd be better off ignoring his bullshit now. All the flaming does is give him more masturbation fodder. We can do more by negging the shit out of each and every one of his posts and make the rep war he had with Face look like small beans in comparison. But I will say one last thing: If you don't feel for him because he has a different opinion that yours or you just plain don't like him, fine. There are some folks here that I wouldn't shed one tear for if they kicked it, but I damn well have enough class not to come into a good will thread for them and start up wanking and being an assclown about their tragedy. Don't fucking tell me you posted "No" because you had "reservations" about this. You saw an opportunity to kick someone when they're down and took it, and everyone knows it. Fire. Die in one.
I just checked on my paypal account and it's still active so whenever the fund is set up, just let me know.
Flashlight, do you remember a while ago (2 years?), you had a personal problem with some guys on another board out to get you? Something to do with you meeting some of them in real life as you went through a tough time. Things didn't work out well for whatever reason and they tried to troll you on WF with some pretty fucking embarrassing shit as I recall. You came on and implored anyone reading to not respond and please just pass on by, this was a personal thing and please respect that. I didn't see another post in that thread after yours (though I could be mistaken). The community didn't fuck with you. I think your reaction here is appalling and indefensible. I don't want to be full of myself, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Shep would consider me one of his biggest antagonists on here at one point, with some vitriol going back and forth. But despite my low opinion of some of his social views, I can recognize he's a good man and I am sorry to hear of his tragedy. I'm a starving student still but there's definitely a few superior canadian dollars destined for the paypal account for a man like him.
Aren't you the guy who spends his time telling us sob stories about the poor, misunderstood criminals he works with?
Shadow, I really wish I could help out with some money but it is a bit tight for me right now. Hopefully I'll be able to scrounge up some to send you once the link is up though.
Update: We have the banner. We have the account. We're waiting to verify that the account works and then we're golden. Remember, if you want to contribute something other than money, please PM BearTM so you can arrange shipping the goods to him.
Too bad you don't have girls, shadow... you would have tons of clothes... I don't have much, but I know what it is like to have tragedy strike... I will do what I can to help... I think we all agree that some things transcend political or social bounds...
I just thought of something else - those gift cards from certain stores might be useful in the future when Shadow gets a nw place set up. I'm still trying to get to the stuff in the garage to see if I can get it to you Shep. And I suggest that anything that is sent that Shep can't use be donated to some shelter in Shep's name.
We should find out what gift cards are in his area. Alternatively, amazon.com offers giftcards too. While not an immediate pay off, orders of over 25 dollars ship free and get there pretty quick too.
