JoannMaybe I just lead a sheltered life in which I don't run across bad people and bad things. Maybe I just have a really inaccurate perception of the world as filled with generally good people because I have not personally run across the negative to any great extent.
Maybe that is why I am sitting here completely stunned at this line from Bruce:
<<<<<We are quite astounded that Joann finds our approach offensive. <br>In fact three times in the last year she has written to us to
secure advise or opinion. >>>>>
Wow. That is a complete, 100% outright lie. I have never emailed Bruce at all for any reason. Not once for anything. Nothing here is unclear, nothing ambiguous. There is no email ever so there is no way that Bruce could somehow mistake something I sent as a request for advice. Nothing.
So this is completely made up out of thin air, and I am totally shocked that someone would just outright lie. Make it up. Invent it. Maybe I shouldn't be shocked. Maybe that's just naive of me to think that people don't just make things up and lie. Wow.
Bruce - no one that reads this board for any length of time would ever think that I would ever email you for any reason at all, based on my very public contempt for your disdain for people with low incomes.
And a plain reading of my post shows that you are completely wrong. I do not find your approach distasteful. In fact, the point of my post was to say that it is a legitimate collecting approach. What I find distasteful is you.
Joann
(And Sandy - although I still believe that there is benefit to having all different collecting styles in the same threads, I really appreciate your very well-thought out and reasoned response. I completely understand it.)
