"The fundraisers you host interfere with the staff-supported fundraising schedule." It does seem strange. I am pretty sure Seti doesn't care how the money is raised and all donations are welcome. Reality Internet Personality |

I have for the last 4 years I donated at the end of the year, not during a fund raising campaign, does this mean I should stop? |

I have for the last 4 years I donated at the end of the year, not during a fund raising campaign, does this mean I should stop? Only if you know something that we don't. An extract of pm posted by someone who's judgement may possibly be "Friday evening after work impaired" is hardly a call to arms. Seeing as it is unlikely that we'll know the full context of what happened, I would carry on business as usual. Reality Internet Personality |

You want me to post the full PM here, Not. I posted the relevant portion. You can all kvetch about what is or is not included. I did my part.............started the kitty drive. If you can or shall not participate, it is not longer in their kibble bowl. I was dressed down for doing a fundraiser, plain and simple. It was deemed that my efforst somehow diluted some efforts from above. I shall no longer make any efforts or personal donations. You may notice I have made some $2,694.00 donations as witnessed on my home page. Personal donations, not related to any fundraisers, kids.] I don't hide it, I don't quench the star. Besides what I crunch, that is an additional 2600 bucks in cash, kids. I am really tired of being laid out as the bad guy all the time. My GFs name is Lori, 'K, not Sandy.

You want me to post the full PM here, Not. Please don't post any more pms, Mark. I am sorry someone has upset you. I am sorry that someone was upset about your fundraiser. I am happy to apologise on everyone's behalf who feels that apologies need to be made. I am happy that my kitten has gotten off my keyboard long enough for me to type this. Here's a picture of a skateboarding budgie which I hope will go some way towards making everything better. Reality Internet Personality |

Go Bears I regret that I was unable to participate in this fundraiser previously because of an allergy I had developed to certain breeds of cat. At this time, however, I seem to be free of my allergy symptoms!!! Consequently I happily add my donation to the others so generously given here. |

Only to say it clear...i would'nt donate at each call from each Person! Indeed. Unfortunately it doesn't give him a "get out of going on a drinking binge and offending people" free card. All I can do is offer some gifs of cats getting into boxes as way of compensation. The only person who is ultimately responsible for the kittyman, is the kittyman. |
