Okay, mean culpa time. I'm reading over my posts and I'm embarrassed.

I got heated and I hosed up, said things I shouldn't have said and I'd like to personally apologize to Plinkey. He's said he will address the accountability concerns and I should have taken him at his word on that. He's done more real world good than I have, by a large margin, and that should and does count for something. I'm sorry that I made someone who used the fund feel like they needed to come here and defend it, and talk about personal stuff.

I was over the line and I am truly sorry.

hi boys
It's a huge mystery as to why someone who, for the past ~3 years, has operated a charity, sometimes while using his own money and with the blessing of the site's owner, is suddenly accused of stealing from it with absolutely no evidence of any wrongdoing. Plinkey isn't acting "guilty," he's acting pissed off, because every good deed goes unpunished, right? He has explained himself multiple times and many people have revealed that he's helped them, no questions asked. This is out of nowhere and it is a bit mind boggling that all of a sudden, the admins (one admin?) are so concerned about a random, unrelated poster's baseless accusation about something that has done this community a lot of good.

loving hell at least it's keeping some of you loving busybodies from calling the cops on homeless people, i guess.

the thing is this is all trust, and it basically has to be unless you want to bring in auditors or some poo poo. like at the end of the day even a “this is what went out” statement still relies on trusting Plinky not to lie about it. a more formal model has benefits but it also has downsides (potential impact on helping people anonymously or who aren’t from the US).

It is important to avoid confusion. This is the one that's okay to lick.



I'm not saying that the whole thing was started by people with an axe to grind who just wanted to destroy a thing that other people like, I'm saying that the people who started it are acting entirely consistently with people with an axe to grind who just want to destroy a thing that other people like.

Every bit of the endless forum wars are detestable and the people who perpetuate them would be pitiable if they didn't inflict real harm each time they push.

This is unbiased and I'm gonna flounce now. No further questions.

let the loving guy do the loving good thing he's been doing for people for years. put a disclaimer on the op if you really have to. if there's a problem, it had better be more significant than misspending 7 dollars and missing some emails.

Plinkey, iirc, makes good computer toucher money personally and is a landlord and does not need to skim this account for more.

i'm really only perusing this arguement, is there any real disadvantage to moving towards a model that resembles the UK goon fund? if anything i'd love to see the fund grow in size, and i've seen testimonials of people being outright ignored.

as far as i know, what that $25 is used for is to help goons.
