Am I the asshole for wanting to help a fellow long time WOer, who had the courage to ask for help for himself and his family?
I would have even helped someone like death_wish, had I not known he was a bitter person with a disgusting personality.
In my dictionary, begging is something negative when done for personal gain and in insidious ways.
I am sure that from death_wish's perspective, Dabs's charity for starving children is a reportable offense as well. And if I were to take his stupid bet, I am sure he would consider children's charity a form of "begging" as well and nag me for my money until I gave up.
So I am not taking any dumb bets like that since I am more than sure that Dabs has selflessly asked for donations on the behalf of others who were in need.
I am however very sure that he would not go around asking for money for personal profit. Whether on the forum on in a pm.
You are so “very sure”, “more than sure”—but you will not bet on it.
To be crystal-clear, I speak of
a PM by Dabs asking a stranger for money for himself, not “charity for starving children”.If that can’t be proved, then I am willing to pay a penalty of almost my very last money. Upfront in escrow—
if you put your money where your filthy mouth is, at 10x for my troubles. 0.1 BTC from me, which you would surely be happy to see me lose since you are so “very sure” that you are confident in outrageously insulting me. 1.0 BTC from you—upfront in escrow.
Thus far, you have cheap talk, and saccharine, manipulative attempts to tug at people’s heartstrings.
Put your money where your mouth is.
