    Default I didn't mean to be a moron

    Jim, I like you both personally and in your role as a domebo mod... I appreciate that it was fairly rude to send you money and demand things of you but that is all it was - rudeness - any ulterior motives, if you could call them that, were amusement. As I've said in deadjournal, if this is a hassle for you either keep the money or give it (minus whatever you feel is fair for said hassle) to a worthy charity; I'm honestly not up to anything sinister and I certainly don't wish to lose posting privileges over this.

    And for what it's worth I think this should be your decision as well, not that of other staff here, as it's only you I have affected.

    On the bright side, you encouraged me to find out the password to my original account ;)

    SBSO, it's been a really bad week. There's never a good time to do something like this, but it's something we don't need on top of everything else. Please just apologize and go away.
    everything in nature is sort of gross when you look at it too closely. what is an apple? basically the uterus of a tree - terrifel

    p.s. regarding what you're saying in chat - when I was saying $50 I was meaning the difference in USD versus CAD - that is to say $1000 USD = about 1082 CAD at midpoint, which at realistic exchange rates means sending $1000 USD means you have about $50 left over...

    And regarding myrna's post, of course I'm sorry

    Rude! Rude! That's all you think it is?! Jesus, if you truly aren't trolling you are the stupidest person I've ever met!
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    I just don't get you guys. It's not as though I sent a billion dollars over to what exit. I sent one thousand dollars ffs. That's well below minimum wage in, like, China. You're getting excited about NOTHING.

    My secondary sin is to send money without permission, and my primary sin is to send money without permission and then demand something specific is done with it. I certainly should not have done that. But given that it has been done let's not panic about sending the money back, let's act calmly, eh?

    The worst possible solution is that it is all sent back. If we can do something as a domebo community with the money, it would be much better, surely? I have nominated the Ottawa Panhandler's Union but that doesn't have to be all of it. For example, Lissener on SDMB seems a relevant and deserving cause for some.

    I refunded the $1000. I don't understand why you did this and ask you never do this again, but I will not recommend banning you. Just the spare account. I will recommend a week in 101 for this account as a minimum.

    For the record, in light of this, I recommend banning him.

    Jim, I won't do this again and I won't say anything about StS either for prudence's sake - thanks for your understanding.

    Since I have the PWD for this account again (since you sent SBSO2 this one's email) I'll switch back to this one if it's ok?

    If you have any costs associated with this incident please PM me and I'll sort them out. Maybe even by paypal ;)

    Hey, hates, might want to stay out of your bathroom for a while.
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    Not mommy, but I am going to have to let this one stand. He has special rights to Room 101. We are his guests.

    Take a deep breath, and read what you wrote here. I am astounded you can continue to rationalize any of this.

    I really think he's only saying these things to make people angry. (PS glad to see you back)
