Schmoker/Anathema
Can someone give me a one-sentence summary of this? I was not around at the time.
'Dear Diary, Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy.' 'Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever.'

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For some of us it has been shocking; for others it immediately pinged their skeptical antennae. But it doesn't have to become personally divisive.
I'm with bon bon here. Immediately, I was sad. I still am. I also think outside confirmation is a good plan, and that thought didn't occur to me right away. It makes me sad that it did at all, but I think it's reasonable that it did. I think I followed Steph's path, more or less.
So, yeah. I was crying last night. Today...I'd like to be certain.
And David's.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
And still? Giving to a charity is never a bad thing.
Absolutely true.
For me, I just don't want it to be under false pretenses.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So don't chip in.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I won't delete this, but I think I should stay out of the discussion -- I don't know anything about schmoker / anathema / other name, and it sounds like that was a rough time for this community.
Mieskie was the third name that person used. Basically somebody new came online, was an active poster. Was kind of rude and aggressive. Was told to settle down in-thread. Ultimately there was a two-week suspension, which the person circumvented with a pseud, leading to our first complete ban. It was very divisive and upsetting and we did lose some valued people in our community over it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So don't chip in.
Trudy, it's not that simple. IF this is a fake, we as a board have a right to know it, regardless of the charity giving.

Brenda has an actual history with Gus. The check cleared when her company paid him. Maybe she can scan a cleared check and link to it!

Which would prove....what, exactly? That someone named "Guy Straley" exists/existed, and Brenda's company paid him for work in the past, and that Guy Straley existed, at least at that point in time.

We're having a wake for Gus either on the board or in my Live Journal (trudybooth) on January 17th. Anyone who would like can contribute via paypal.

Our wings are not tired
Okay, so what type of proof is needed?
