Beware of those who are trying to shoot the messenger, with malicious smear-attacks against me. I now expect that anywhere that I bring this up. Do not mistake lack of reply for acquiescence, much less admission: Such things are properly beneath reply.
Hi nullius.
Being his kababayan(we from the same country from which he served as a man in uniform iirc), and someone whom he helped in the past(not financially) but when I get stuck with some things I don't understand here in the forum specifically in our local board, he is my number 1 go-to guy.
I imagine myself in his shoes, and it pains me to see him do this. With pride swallowed having to share his misfortunes and ask for help. That is not easy, but it is better than steal.
I understand you see him begging, but what I see is a man asking for help. If you could at least spare him the insult, it would be a big help for him. And I will thank you for that. If you can't then, I guess Dabs just have to live with it.
