I'm not seeing the connection between the boards I have on ignore and my feelings toward one member (cabalism13) who's obviously guilty of misappropriating funds.  As far as red being irresistible...come on.  Are you seriously criticizing me for tagging him?  Why in the world would I not?  And it's not as if I've been on a tagging spree lately, which you can verify by taking a look at my sent feedback. 

As things stand @cabalism13 has admitted to using $500 for personal use which is completely inappropriate - but I can understand the life or death situation of a family member - wouldn't most of us here do the same and then return that funds back? You have the right as a DT member to leave the fedback you want, but I was confident that everyone would wait for the final outcome - especially since we now know that the Philippines was recently hit by a typhoon.
 
I get that you want to give all three members the benefit of the doubt, but with cabalism13 there's no doubt about what he's admitted to doing, and I suspect there's more layers of this stinky onion that have yet to be peeled away. 

Can you clarify what exactly you mean by "more layers of this stinky onion that have yet to be peeled away"? Do you think there is anyone other than the three members of the forum who participated in this and got some financial benefit?

You're right, but I felt I needed to reply to Lucius, and I also need to state that I don't have a problem with him and never did--and I'm not going to bicker with him about this, and I'm sorry his money was involved in this thing

Technically speaking, I donated a few times at the beginning of the campaign - and I was pleased with how the money was spent, everything was very well documented. After someone started donating 1 BTC, it no longer made sense to donate smaller amounts until that large amount was spent.

Lucius, let's agree that we have two different reactions as to what's going on in this thread and leave it at that, eh?  I'd shake your hand and buy you a beer if I could.

Of course, as I have already written, it is difficult for me to accept that such a good thing as charity could turn into something we have to discuss in this way. Especially when it comes to people who have been esteemed members of this community so far, and I still hope that they can justify this status at least to some extent - although each day of silence only heightens the suspicion.

Thanks for the offer for beer, I would accept the offer if I was not a few thousand kilometers away and besides I can't leave the country because I don't have a covid passport Wink
