Here is my misguided toxx

And here is proof of my donation



I figured was such a good cause that will be needed that the $10 was not enough.


EDIT: Just read the lowtax overrule. Don't regret donating a cent.

Donated $50 to RAINN. Planning on donating a large portion of my new tax savings to progressive causes, planned parenthood, and RAINN.

I have no screenshot because I'm traveling and did it from my phone and can't figure out how to black out my personal info.

I donated $50, no toxx.

I plan to continue making ongoing donations to the groups and causes that I feel will need help in the days to come.

In for another 10 bucks in the hopes of getting the gang tag back. The first pic was shrunk a bit too much. I also marked a newspaper article I'd had open since before the election, one I haven't closed for over a week.

I also used what little I gained from predictit to rebuy my account and make another donation. It cost 90 dollars to make 20 dollars but I'm sure President Trump will make the loss worth it. :smithicide:

Edit: Struck portion was redundant. I just donated and rebought, not donated rebought and donated.

Lowtax came in from the cold and asked the following question:

Lowtax posted:

Okay can somebody explain to me why ignoring a toxx clause is okay now and has no consequences as it had in the past? Maybe I don't grasp the entire argument here, but toxxing is almost as old as SA itself, and it seems like a liberal bias to not honor it in this case.

Basically, it turns out that someone exceeded their authority by putting into place a way you could buy your way out of a forum ban through a toxx without running it by the God Emperor.

Avert your gaze as His Word is law:

Lowtax posted:

Okay, gonna have to side with tradition and rules on this one, and unfortunately going to have to go over a moderator's head, which I absolutely do not ever like doing.

Toxx clause is a toxx clause and the people going into it knew exactly what they were doing and what would happen if they lost. Arbitrarily changing the punishment at the last minute further cement D&D as a leftist echo chamber and not actually a place where people of both sides can debate and discuss. I didn't vote for Trump and do not like Trump, but this whole thing really comes off as an arbitrary change to the rules for no reason but a political agenda. I will be enforcing the forum rules later.

You Toxxed you lost you get banned and you don't get your stuff back despite what you were told.

That part of it is as insidious as all gently caress, Lowtax is in a lose/lose situation.

He comes in and enforces the toxx clauses, despite the person who exceeded their authority changing a fundamental rule that hes been here for years allowing you to buy out your toxx, and he is anti rape victim. He ignores it and he is anti long standing toxx clause.

Not assigning motives, but when the wind blew the wrong way it is almost as though someone set Lowtax up to fail no matter what he did...

Barring any sort of recount shenanigans, Trump has 306 EVs, so that's a 66 dollar donation to fulfill my toxx. I believe some people wanted to match as well.

hello everyone that was right and i was 100% wrong in ignoring / arguing with / belittling / being an rear end in a top hat to / and being an all around rear end clown that deserves to be gently caress barreled for the rest of my life for my actions

spent the last few days processing everything and saw that i missed the "donate to rainn and dont' get toxxed" thread but i donated $50 anyway

:banme: since i toxxed for a looser and will take my ban like the looser that backed a looser



i've already joined sanders in calling for the election of ellison

i've sent in info to ourrevolution about getting involved in stopping trump in any way i can (if that's not a legit site then by all means direct me the gently caress to the right one)

already contacted my local reps in saying they will lose my vote if they don't vote for ellison

i'll probably re-reg in a bit under a different name after the dust settles and i can fully process just how loving wrong my world view has been for the second time in my life (the first going from a piece of poo poo republican raised in orange county to a piece of poo poo third way democrat) but for now i'll be keeping up on this thread since it's been like shock treatment for being so loving wrong and holy poo poo i need that

by all means enjoy the schadenfreude that me coming back here and posting since i loving deserve every bit of it and have at me

no really, any vitriol posted in a reply to this post shouldn't be met with a 6er from the mods or iks since i deserve every bit of it for being such an all around piece of poo poo for the last several months to pretty much every single one of you in this thread

yours in full communism now - a piece of poo poo jew
