I'm sorry, you really, really don't get to act as though you're the wronged party here.
it only took Cajsa a few minutes to call them You could do the same and clear everything up.
it okay for someone to tell you to go kill yourself? No. Was it okay for you to fake a receipt and lie repeatedly? Nope.
The only thing you should be saying is "I'm sorry, and here is where the money is" - with, you know, actual proof.
Considering, also, that it took all of thirty seconds for someone to call the Epilepsy Foundation and get someone on the line - that excuse
tissue-thin and really, really insults everyone's intelligence here.
If your real name isn't "York", then you should not have claimed it was in one of your blog posts.
the fact of the matter is, if you donated last year at all, getting the backing documents wouldnt be hard. and you wouldnt feel the need to
need to get defensive and self-righteous
As someone who suggested that you might have faked the receipt because the foundation was closed for the new year's weekend, I was very much
hoping to get confirmation that you had donated since I think at this point, your production of a receipt might get the side-eye.
I was taking you at your word that the receipt showed your name - but if that's not true, well, then it's just one more lie.
I think the only thing that would work as proof now with the multiple lies, is if the foundation posted a confirmation on their website.
And yes, I am very disappointed to learn there was no donation because it doesn't just harm you, it harms every charity that could benefit
from the charitable impulses of SL members, it harms the people who at your behest worked on and created items to raise funds for the Fdn.
it harms your friends who defended you and believed you. It harms the Epilepsy Foundation in that future efforts to raise money for them
be met with "Isn't that the organization where the money was stolen? We should skip that." It harms the community by increasing cynicism
You didn't just steal some money and trash your reputation; you damaged the fabric of the community and increased distrust and
I would still go if you moved the location and we know Evie is taking care of it.
made it more difficult for the cause you claim to support and for all other charitable causes.
I did like here
CajsaLilliehook suggest to the charity they get an avatar so the money goes directly to them.
So, yes, I understand you are in crisis and in pain and probably frightened by the house of cards you have built collapsing around you
but, you did it to yourself. No one did it to you. The only recourse now is to be truly honest and clear things up as best you can.
I mean simply look at her plurks, she is showing that this attention is just what she wanted. You got caught, own up and try and make amends
this whole thing is so awful .. and I agree with Cajsa that it hurts our community's reputation .. and future charity events of all types
it goes to show, that every charity event you participate in, you need to question how money will be handled
and thank you Evie for stepping in to try to clean up this awful mess .. you must be stressed out big time .. huggies!
erm, it surprises me that you are surprised by the reaction of most of the ppl who hear about this situation. You can't honestly
I don't think anything will come of it - but there needs to be consequences and it's very obvious that this woman isn't going to
accept any social ones that we can inflict - she'll just shrug, make yet another alt, and sneer at us from safe anonymity.
believe that people would be like "oh, so she didn't donate the money but used that money to pay for
the sim and then faked a reciept..yea, I'm ok with that, nothing wrong there"
if the tables were turned I'm positive you would be just as skeptical and annoyed as the rest of us.
You are not the victim. You did not do this out of the goodness of your heart to help out the sim / the group / the cause. You do not merit
sympathy. You violated your ethical duty to your donees; you defrauded your donees; you embezzled money from your fund; you violated LL's
ToS; and you betrayed your partners. No, "plurk" are not "bullies" for calling you out on your bad behavior, and you are not a victim.
You are a person who has preyed on the trust and goodwill of others for your profit.
Vaki: Agreed, very well said!
Thanks. I doubt she's actually reading this plurk, but I can hope.
I honestly cannot grasp why people like you can't simply be honest and stop telling lies. it's so disgusting and embarrassing.
meanwhile you do this and people on the fence about the validity of charity operations online go "ah, I knew they were bad."
your stupid desire to keep a small amount of cash and then your stupid attention whoring after the fact causes actual harm to others.
