Praise<
My response to this was straightforward and honest. I am not fighting with anyone. I honestly don't know or care if the Guest who started this thread is simply asking a question or rattling chains. Rationally, I don't expect, want, need, request or anything else an accounting from Max about how he spends the money donated by members. I have never been asked for a donation other than through the "Support The Mudcat" link above or when another member has raised the issue.
Agreed, some have come to Max's defense because they "smell a rat". I don't blame Guest for asking for or for his/her unwillingness to give money without an accounting. I also don't blame those who felt they had to speak up on Max's behalf.
There seems to be a tiresome complaint that guests are being treated badly. Surely the title Guest doesn't carry with it the requirement that I agree with whatever Guest says or be accused of being exclusionist or belligerent? Or have I gone off the deep end and completely misunderstood you?
Love you Praise.
