I was not begging for him, I was asking WO if we could help him out and suggesting any unwanted BTC can go towards that goal. Neither am I sure whether or not he is sincere. But why would an old member with so much trust, merit and history on his profile on Bitcointalk be lying about a despicable situation that he is trying to get out of? And all that for a few peanuts? That does not make sense to me. Report me if you want, you're still a jackass in my book either way.
Consistently with the note that I appended at the end of my prior post before I saw your reply:
I am
not accusing Dabs of lying about whatever situation he claims to be in. You are inserting that here as your strawman, goldkingcoiner.
Some people repeatedly get themselves into desperate situations. (I know this, all too personally.) Maybe he was telling the truth before—maybe not. Maybe he is telling the truth now—maybe not. It is irrelevant to anything that I said.
I said that Dabs has PM-begged before—and now, you are publicly begging on his behalf.
Right in front of someone who is clearly at least as desperate as Dabs, but who is taking the high road. You’re the jackass. Don’t you care about
my desperate situation?
Incidentally, this is why begging is against forum rules. Lots of people are genuinely in need.
So, are you a betting man, goldkingcoiner?
Edited to add, for the record: goldkingcoiner is also lying about his own post when put it in terms of “any unwanted BTC”. His post started with that, then segued immediately into a general beg. (Not that asking for “any unwanted BTC” would be ok, but that’s not even what this was.)

You could donate it to Dabs if you don't want it. As he told me, he is in an uncomfortable financial situation and could use any and all help. Maybe WO should help him out?
I said any UNWANTED BTC (In this case accumulated BTC DUST) can go to him as a donation. And then I said he could use any and all help. Help can be in many forms. I am helping him find a job, for example.
I do not see the part where I begged on his behalf. I wanted to do a good thing for a good man with a green trust reputation who has been doing good deeds on this forum for a long time.
is this considered "begging" in your book, too? Do you report the hungry children or dabs for "begging" for them? Go ahead, report the whole thread.
Were you unloved by your parents and now you want everyone to be as miserable as you?
