It is also in poor taste to then display the names of contributors and the amount of their donations for all to see. What one decides to donate should not be public information. No class. He isn't posting anything. You can be anonymous or use a fake name. The website isn't maintained by John which *should* be obvious. |

If one decided to contribute to his cause it should not become public information. I applaud you for your donation to a great cause...........just don't use it to push others into contributing. Keep in mind also that Don and his wife are housing and caring for his elderly mother, a cause more extraordinary than your $250 donation. Now give it up already. |

Now, would you say that this IS the place for someone to tell lies about someone, tell hideous untrue, allegations about someone's wife and even go so low and scum like to tell lies and allegations about someone's grade school children? You done all of that and more, and the terrible thing about it, is you aren't even man enough to see why that is truly distasteful, low life, and over the top. |
