I appreciate and respect Leon and this forum and take comments both ways with more respect here. Put yourself in my shoes. I got completely railed over there. I stand by my comments for they are just.

Thanks for the support.

I wasnt going to say anymore more here but the fact you mentioned "you got railed over there" made me laugh. The only railing that happened was your failure to completly disclose your intentions. You caused this and you are the one responsible. Dont put this on anyone else besides yourself! if you had been up front and honest about your intentions to recoup your investment in the Mantle you would not have caught the hell that you have. Own up to your mistake and get on with life!

I still don't understand why all of the people donating money to this cause are concerned with what they would receive. To me, I could care less about anything being received. For the money I donated I told Jason to keep the cards. Jason admitted he didn't communicate well, end of story. All of the people continuing to belabor the issue are missing the point. This is to help people that are in the middle of a disaster. Jason is helping,. I applaud Jason for his efforts. His motives and intentions are admirable. I wish I could say the same for the people who are badmouthing him. No good deed goes unpunished.

Quit private messaging me. If you dont like this, then feel free not to participate. Your thirst for trying to stir up trouble here is not appreciated. I already explained myself on both forums....ENOUGH!

I am so sorry for this becoming a circus over here. Feel free to lock this thread and let it die. I was able to raise almost $1200 and it will be spent wisely. I appreciate all of the donations and efforts. If anyone else wants to give just email me privately or give to an organization of your choice. All packs will be sent shortly and we will end it here.


Thanks
Jason

And I am sorry you had to go through this Jason. I know exactly what you were/are trying to do, in getting attention for your effort. The 2000 was a long shot......I hope you use the money to help the worst situation you can find in that area. I absolutely believe you and trust you. All anyone ever had to do is pick up the phone and chat with you instead of pounding on a keyboard. Anyone that spoke with you would know your intentions are good. I don' t want to lock this thread as I rarely do that. If folks want to voice their opinion they should be able to, imo. No worries about a circus around here. I am open for a professional and friendly debate.

Please do not end because of one or two. If you do then it will discourage others from trying to help those in need.

+1 Would you mind making this thread a sticky Leon?

This will be my last word on this

Dont make it sound like I am constantly pm'ing you. I sent two or three to you yesterday and with the exception of the first pm, my pm's were a response to the one's you sent me the so dont make it sound like I am pestering you. I took comments to PM to avoid clogging up the boards.

Leon, I have no complaint with what he is doing and I applaud his efforts if the money is going where he says is is. My only complaint was he did not disclose a small but very important piece of information. This was a deal breaker for me and I have decided to donate elsewhere. This is all I have ever said about the issue. I had to respond to the charge of being railed because I feel he brought this on himself even if it was an accidental "non-disclosure". Again, I applaud the effort as my wife and I did something similar for friends who lived in Joplin, MO last year where we had a garage sale and sent the money directly to friends we knew who were hit hard by the tornadoes. Everyone has to decide for themselves where they will send their money, if at all. The inadvertent non-disclosure was enough for me to question this endevour and I have chosen to send my money elsewhere.

I do hope all of this money goes to help needy families who are effected by this tragic event and I have no doubt that they will. I have just taken back by the attitude of Jason when called on the fact he never said he was going to get paid for his card if enough money was spent. That is what I had a problem with. I voiced my displeasure and was met with attitude and sarcasm. On this subject...I am now done. Have a safe trip.

Wow, for the most part, we have some adults over here. Amazing!

I am the guy that started the thread over at CU and I am blown away at the circus. Sure, Jason could have been a little clearer, but his intentions were very noble. I have talked to him several times on the phone about this. It really bothers me that a simple misunderstanding has a good guy stressed out over trying to do a good deed.

Since having met Jason in 2008, he has become a friend that I talk to on a regular basis. We have done several deals together in the thousands of dollars. I said that to simply say that I trust him and that comes from experience.

Keep your head up, Jason.

There's a lot of hate on here for a guy that's trying to help out people in need. Best of luck in raising more funds.
