enough!

[scrumptious]

I felt that I had to speak up because I am pig sick of one member here. I won't use names but enough is enough.

This member has no shame in openly asking for the shirt off your back. Of course he would deny it. He usually dresses up asking for items by pretending he isn't. i.e. I'd like a replacement but of course you don't have to but I have my hand out constantly. This mentality is disgusting and I just feel that it is progressively getting worse.

I love the TY website and find it largely inspirational. The empathy, understanding and generosity of the majority of people here is fantastic. I know that people like him exist but they only get away with it if you let them. He gives the movement a sour tone and needs to reflect about why he thinks it's acceptable to constantly ask for things. None of us owe him anything and all have problems to deal with, some of which are heartbreaking.

If you know who I'm talking about, please lay off. You are going too far.

That's it....

ummmm....in an instant if someone needed my shirt more than myself I'm afraid I'd be givin' it when possible Scrumptious! I have learned in my life that karma will one day enforce greed! In this world there have always been takers and givers. Anyway, stay groovy! Something like this should be dealt with IMHO take it to the BOSSMAN!

yes its sad but ur correct scrum some people come here to relax and learn and help each other and others come with their fishing poles in hand, dont really enjoy seeing that stuff on the boards hope it stops

Walk a mIle in another fellas moccaisins before passing judgement. I have no idea whom you are reffering to, I do know there are alot of desperate sick people here. I tend to be on the compassionate side rather then skeptical.
Are there users in Life Certiantly, however I would rather get used then to let someone in geniune need to flounder without any sort of help! We are sorta a small family here and yes there are the normal black-sheep or two.
Maybee making your concerns aware to the admin of the site would be a good start.
If you feel the need give the particular user a feedback comment letting them know how you feel!

I have already notified Marco regarding this issue......a few days ago in fact.

...........I try very hard not to judge people but if you know what I am talking about, you're comments are less applicable. I'm not just being unpleasant. I just want this to stop. Some people see a bit of generosity and try to take them for a ride. It leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

Thanks though!
Keep fighting the fight!

I have taken a look at the person in question and I must admit that in all their posts as of late it does seem that they are always asking for a hand out. There are many folks on TY that are in need, but you don't see them trying to take advantage of the community. The person in question did approach a company stating that they are doing an article about vaporizers for TY without authorization. The TY community is here for those in need and all the support SHOULDN'T be geared to 1 person! If the member in question continues to their style of posting I will have no choice but to have a word with them about it as it has obviously bothered a few members including a couple of moderators. I'm sorry that I haven't had a chance to really do anything about this issue sooner but I have been extremely busy with TY # 11 which is now being edited and will be sent to our new layout design person next week. I have also busy getting the funding together for the NEW TY SERVER that should be up and running by the end of January.

Take Care and Peace
Marco

Chin up Scrumptious. There will ALWAYS be people who are looking out for #1 only. They are usually the ones who want you to feel sorry for them when in reality they are feeling so sorry for themselves that they cannot even see that THEY ARE THE PROBLEM by doing NOTHING to help themselves. It's much easier for me to make you feel so sorry for me so that you try to help me, when in reality it's all just BULLSHIT to get something for nothing.
And in the same breath these types of people are always telling you how much THEY DO FOR OTHERS. This stuff makes me want to puke. It's EASY to see it when your looking for it and it seems that you are seeing right through this person/con artist.

I think I know who you are talking about and I agree with you wholhartedly.He does nothing but complain all the time but never does anything to help his self.Personally I agree with you Steve and agree that this person needs to be ignored compleatly.Unless they post something on a helping myself I say just ignor their posts altogether Thats what I.v been doing and I wouldn.t give him a puff if I had 10 pounds.I hope that they read this thread and realize that there the one we are talking about.But they probably just post their wineing and bumming and go on to some other site to do the same thing.
Peace and Puff

PS The Lord helps those who help their self.This joker dosen.t do anything to help their self.They just bum for more help.

i'm with pp on this one for the most part but it becomes to hard to ignore after awhile, especially when it ruins perfectly good threads that are on some other topic i feel it hard to post ( or even enjoy) the thread after its been hijacked by this member as his own personal fishing hole. marco thanks for being aware im sure these issues are especially sensitive but im also sure u'll handle it appropriatly if it goes to far.
