If I suddenly got a PM from the guy who owned the website i posted on with screenshots of my social media, addressed to my government name demanding *more* personal information I'd be angry too and a lot less publicly complimentary.

Furthermore, it appears clear that you didn't even read the PM, which is quoted on page 1 inside Jeffrey's post, because there were no screenshots of social media in there.

I mean, in a vacuum yeah, but the admin of this site probably feels a responsibility to look into any possibility that a 5 figure fundraiser may have even potentially been a grift, especially given similar stuff has happened in the past?

You seem intent on ignoring that part of the situation though, so continue to post about how outraged you would be about a hypothetical situation

Everyone including the people actually doing the insanely creepy internet stalking have agreed someone has had contact with the well known to be not-expensive and very humane american healthcare system and has actually been dealing with cancer, and yet continues to do the internet stalking, so it's not all that hypothetical.

Why the gently caress does a cancer patient have to loving justify themselves to you? Are you serious??

Because they raised tens of thousands through our website and we do have to protect our userbase. We want to make sure everything is on the up and up. That is a fair ask by the owner and the administrators of this website.

I can see why someone dying of cancer would respond this way to very specific questions of authenticity surrounding techno chat.

I can also see why Jeffry had a question about it. Maybe he could have written the question in a less accusing tone? Maybe the cancer patient could just explain their activity in the time in question.

Maybe in the future all donations go to a Goon Club Card that is authorized for only certain merchants the donators agree on? poo poo nobody steal my idea

I'm gonna have to ask you to cite your sources on this. I live in a town with a lot of old people where healthcare is a major industry, and having hospital care administered in-home is absolutely something I've seen people do. And that friend I mentioned earlier is poor as hell and didn't get help from any charity.

"Hello, cancer patient who I agree is a cancer patient? Please explain ur IP addresses or else." It is completely insane you think this is reasonable to expect someone to know. I touch computers for a living and I could, at best give a vague reason for what public IP I'm coming from is what it is.

If you need a cat neutered for cheap, ask local shelters if they do, or know someone who does , “TNR” ones. That’s for Trap-Neuter-Return. It’s meant as a humane way to deal with strays-you don’t have to kill them, but they stop making kittens. But places that do TNR neuters usually will do a cheap neuter for other reasons too. I’d be a little concerned about “quality” if it was a spay, but it’s pretty easy and straightforward to cut off balls.

one time my friend and i sewed together our own skirts and conspiracy t shirts and went to an olive garden at 9:30 AM and ordered six liters of wine and free bread sticks and it was the best day ever
sid is the sole resident of glueph and by that logic is the mayor and should therefore decree that all neuterings should be free

Just wondering because I don't know: if you're using mobile data, is it the same IP address every time?

Even if it were hypothetically the case, it was the same IP since 2017 outside hospital visits. Which would mean they had only data posted from their phone, except on some hospital visits?

Furthermore its 2022, your doctor appointments and bills are all online. It should be trivial to login and show anything from the past 2 months.

I'm pretty sure admins see our IP address on our posts without even needing to go into a console, so the "insanely creepy internet stalking" that has been presented as actual evidence consists of: noticing that someone's IP address has been the same for years and hasn't changed on posts that were stated to be made from another location

This person received like 30k in donations. None of the admins mentioned any kind of retaliation whatsoever. This whole situation probably would have been handled privately if OP hadn't made it public.

That said, between you and other goons mindlessly white knighting, and OP being unwilling to respond to really simple questions about a specific period rather than write long posts about how outraged they are at having to justify anything to the site they got 30k from in donations, the mods should probably just close this and handle it some other way. No one who donated seems to want it to escalate or anything, so just write it in the annals as yet another goon saga

We found some irregularities and asked for clarification, which we are not getting. IPs don't float from the house to the hospital. When OP was in the hospital previously, the IP changed. Which is why we had questions.

It is well within our rights as a website to ask for verification when someone is raising money here.
