You mean like the allegations they made about Brad??? It's OK to jump on Brad without an investigation, but we should be silent about the other party? That just doesn't sound fair. So, what WAS my main allegation? <etc etc etc>....
Ya know, I deleted all my profile info and redirected my old account to a bogus email addy in frustration with what I saw going on here. Didn't plan on coming back. But this "woe is me" victim routine and the continual misdirection you're pulling demanded at least one last attempt at a MODERATE response. If you read my prior entries in this thread, you'll see I haven't accused you of being anything other than "disingenous" - and later evasive, although I didn't use the word, I was just sarcastic about your excuses. IF you would bother reading the other thread, you'll see I even suggested on Wetpixel that you be treated with some moderation rather than painting you with the same brush as Brad, solely based on your first 2 posts - but I did give up on that when you continued along the same path.
Let's re-examine your original post in its entirety, instead of trying to selectively justify it as just saying "she never paid" and nothing more. You know, the one you've since deleted:
NetDoc:
There is more to this than meets the eye. The Credit Card of the winner was declined for their entry. The prize is being re-awarded to the next in line. No tickey, no laundry.
Right there, you implied not only that there was more to the story (accurate, if not in the way you meant it), that she didn't pay (accurate, if a harsh judgment since a payment attempt was made, although an inadequate/inappropriate one), but that
THE PRIZE WAS BEING RE-AWARDED. I'll ignore the attempted funny - poor choice of words perhaps, but I wouldn't have known it was a slur either. But in total, you implied the OP's crosspost of the complaint was much ado about one freeloading crank. No questioning how a
WINNER could be selected from a
NON-PAYING ENTRY. No, you immediately assume the accusation is false and state prizes are being awarded.
Shortly after that post, you were informed that others had similar complaints, not all their cards were either AMEX or declined, and that in fact there was a larger problem if you chose to view it. These initial responses - although disagreeing with you - WERE civil. You instead went into evasion mode, reiterating the 'something for nothing' characterization while backpedaling more with each subsequent post: No time (likely true, although no excuse for the initial characterization, and you seem to have all sorts of time to fight back endlessly now); just repeating what I was told (obvious - and isn't that why initial responses suggested you were showing poor judgment in doing so?); Brad's never been late paying me (although you later denied he's spent 'any money on this site' as potential justification for your sticking up for him), she doesn't even WANT the prize (as if that matters??), etc. etc.
Everything since then - the pile on as you insist on calling it - has been self-inflicted. If you refuse to see that, fine. I'll not belabor it further. I will however freely return and post a huge MEA CULPA with my full real name, address, and phone number for further abuse should it be shown that Brad had already awarded all the other prizes appropriately to everyone but Robyn at the time of her initial posting on WP. I admit I am still posting from my own assumptions - but mine included a search around to find out if there was any corroboration to
EITHER side before doing so (on WP first, and later here).
Much of your lengthy defensive response is now that you were never spreading misinformation. Unless the prizes were already re-awarded as you claimed in your very first post, I'd not so humbly suggest you were indeed. And even in your last post you are continuing to cast dispersions on Robyn's character, by backhandedly "wondering" if she'd be paying even now if she hadn't won. Perhaps you're mad at the way others have treated you here...but that kind of
disingenuous slurring continues to show a disrespectful attitude of your own.
