When I buy, I send it _right_ then. When I sell, I ship it right then.
But everyone is NOT me. And $20 to me means a totally different thing to my son, and to my father.
For my son, its a months worth, and losing it would make him flip out, do wierd things, and act wierd. My dad, would hope that someone that needed it found it. if he noticed.
My point: You can not argue with the way someone feels or things, because its subjective. While I cant condone some of these actions, I am not judgemental either. I try to look at it like this.
If he was in a serious car crash, or lost a loved one, how would I feel?
Therefor I always reserve judgement.
So for butters, you never know what happened. For devilstar, I do not know if hes more like my son, or my dad. I can not begin to tell you how he felt, how long he saved, or how many people egged him on with 'you got scammed'.
You push someone far enough they act wierd. But since I do not know both stories I assume the truth is somewhere in the middle.
But then again I think mike tyson was innocent (some of the time) too.
as a side note, its VERY hard to put 'inflection' into someones 'typing'.
Some people are very poor at expressing themselves in text. Some people always read things as pesamistic or condescending. Some people couldnt catch a hint in text, if someone hit them with the book it was written in.
So in short. I have no opinion, but really wanted to see if anyone would read this far
