Why is the Karen Mills thread locked at the top of the OT?

Oh, Narck! You didn't read my posts like I adviced you to, did you? I didn't comment on the stickyness of the thread at all. Go back a while and you'll see...

And the Karen Mills threads have been around long enough already for everyone to see.

You sure didn't comment on the stickyness of the thread at all, Legman. Nope, not at all I assume you think above comment doesn't even hint towards the stickyness of the thread, hmmmmmm? ....

</font>And the quote about selfrighteousness possibly being equally despicable was in direct reply to MarkG's preceeding post where he labeled the critizism despicable. I'd like it if you would include the whole story when you quote me if it's not too much to ask.
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>I know exactly what the quote was about, and so do other ppl, since they can read the thread as well. So yes, it is too much to ask.

</font>All in all, you have a pretty slim case for calling my views disgusting, so it would be good of you to take that statement back as it was totally uncalled for.

Lastly, I would like to mention that I find it more than a little weird that this whole debate started AFTER the thread in question was "de-topped". You could have chosen to say something about it while it was topped (as I'm sure you noticed it before), yet you chose not to. Why not?
<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>oh, it's a coincidence. you see, Legman is a sensitive man. He cant stand being inforced to get a thread on the top of the forum. It's brakes the whole sense of balance in his worls. Threads are supposed to be listed by date! How can a thread stay at the top. And Legman has limits, he is a not a superman. When he saw the thread by AH he just broke into tears! A soulmate! At last someone with the same sensitivies as him! Well, the rest is history....


anyway, i see legman posting

but you did.
you quoted AH saying: Lancer, charity works best when it isn't inflicted on people.
AH believes that we inflicted charity on people by top-ing the thread. you said Amen to that....

Oh, you've done it now MarkG. That's the worst piece of crap I've seen posted anywhere in months. Do you actually expect me to debate seriously with you after this? Disappointing, very disappointing - and it didn't even involve Greece... Ha ha!

Narck,

How very noble of you to edit your post after I so delicately touched on the subject of it being an uncalled for statement. Very gentlemanlike indeed

I maintain that I did not comment on the stickyness of the thread. I commented on the thread being around long enough in the first place. Hence my suggestion of limiting a future Christmas thread to an announcement including information on where to send possible donations. I still think it would suffice.

I'm beginning to repeat myself a little to much even for my own taste here, so unless you want to launch further attacks on my disgusting (sorry, very disappointing) views, I think this immensely fruitful debate has come to a conclusion.

No way in Hell I'm replying anymore to MarkG's severely intellectually challenged posts. Not even on non-Greece-related topics like this one. Ha ha!

[MarkG]

perhaps you can do your part of a serious debate and then i can take example Legman.....

as you can see, we the naive people who are trying to help someone organize a "*strange*" charity thread dont know much about serious debates...

[Legman]

One last point I need to make:

Narck, editing your posts like you've done in this thread several times without clearly stating what you edited/edited out is basically a sign of you not being able to stand up for your views.

And I mean this in the kindest, most helpful way imaginable.

[Legman]

What a genuinely crappy thread this is when you read through it from the top. If Ming were the moderator here, it'd have been toast 6 hours ago!

When I edit my posts, it's because I either find spelling errors, or I wish to word my post differently, on 2nd thought.

<img src="/images/blue1.gif" width=100% height=1></font></td></tr></table></center>Thank you Legman, allow me to explain.

When I edit my posts, it's because I need to fix spelling errors, or change the wording of the text because I'm not happy with the way it is put there. How you would like to see it, is your business, but I sure as hell am not going to bother explaining in an edit msg what I was editing. Waste of time.

I NEVER edit out comments after someone else commented on it.

I understand this is what you were implying that I did here. You and I both know that I didn't. This makes you either a liar or just someone who doesn't understand what he's talking about.

My post which called your views disgusting is still in here, and your post which stated that was uncalled for is there as well. I didn't edit away anything.

But thanks for trying to imply that I did do that, anyway It shows me exactly the type of person you are.

[Legman]

Narck,
From the way you mentioned it earlier, I figured you'd edited it. Didn't realize you were talking about a different post. And I didn't check before posting. My bad. But still you wouldn't care to apologize for calling my views disgusting when you now admit that they are infact just disappointing to you??

You can still comment all you like on my so-called very disappointing views - just make sure you have the necessary documentation to back up your comments.

You say that I put sarcasm in several of my posts. To the best of my knowledge, the post above was the first in which I ever used sarcasm. So either you know my posts better than I myself do, or this was just another example of you making undocumented accusations. I wonder which one it is...?

[Legman]

You disgust me, Narck.

Edit: Clarification: My post above is in reply to Narck's penultimate post. This one is in reply to his latest.

Lancer, charity works best when it isn't inflicted on people.
========
Amen to that. I too have mixed feelings about the whole concept of using a site like Apolyton for drawn out charity appeals, however worthy they are. Charity is a personal matter for the donator, not a public one

The only thing worth reading in this thread is this original comment by legman - it is a good point - the rest of the thread has just degenerated into personal attacks.

So, perhaps, Lancer, you could tone down a bit on the supposed "self-rightousness" in your threads - don't make such a big deal of the donations when someone makes them - this should please them.
