This is the worst analogy, ever.

Joe, if you don't understand what "fundraising" means then I really can't answer the question for you.
But Charlie did a few posts back. No, we're not coming up short and begging a single donor to jump in and save us. Because fundraising has gotten us there. Just as it has for alllllllll the other non-profit organizations out there.
I personally have no problems in anyone questioning our tactics and we're certainly receptive to people's ideas/opinions. Whining, drama - which is all you ever give us - doesn't accomplish anything.

Look, I'm not going to post to this thread any more.(unless of course you gueys start it back up, so let it go....)
I want to point out that I personally don't think I was offering anything other than constructive criticism. Then everybody jumped my shit and I defended myself and my position which was this...The gate was heavy handed (all gates are!) and I think more positive efforts would net more positive results..... There ya go....Thats it...If you see that as whining and dramatic its because you don't like what I say and you have no response other than to attack the messenger. I've been accused of all sorts of shit on this thread, I defended myself with the truth of the matter, did I get a response of an apology...no. So its just hanging out there. An accusation, a response and no rebuttal... So I'll spell it out. How about an apology from Charlie for accusing me of that bullshit with the gate....
I'm sorry that I didn't make it to the last meeting.. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the reunion. It seems that life has a funny way of interfering with me living my life!

Dude. I didn't even want to talk about this in full view of everyone but as usual, you keep talking.
I apologize if you thought I was talking about the chainsaw incident on the gate a few years ago. That was not what I was referring to, I know you weren't even in town then. I also know for a fact you were getting behind the gates on the property when they first went up years ago because I saw your truck with my own eyes. I guess someone could have borrowed your truck and done it, but also I remember you sprayin about it on the Internet afterwards. This was when we were in court, not 2 years ago.
That was what I was talking about. If I'm mistaken about that then I truly am sorry.
apology accepted..but you are saying that the lawyers specifically brought up in court me behind a gate seven years ago? As far as me being behind it, If a gate wasn't locked I went through it. I never destroyed any gates. If there was another way in then I drove that way.
