The OP asked a question and now is being coerced into a charitable donation.

This sort of lings a bell…

I’ll give you three hundred pounds* if Kryton does a naked turbotrainer calendar

*to gouge my eyes out

So Tom got here before me so this will now seem too little too late. But…

My intention was not to slag of Tom, but to question the morals of the situations. Clearly my thoughts on the subject are slightly adrift of the norm and perhaps in that respect I am wrong.

If I’ve offended Tom, or laid doubt on his character I sincerely apologise.

I will not be coerced into a charitable donation on the basis I contribute already yet choose not to make my contribution to charity – financial or otherwise – public.

If Tom believes that last para deserves an explanation my email is in my profile.

Maybe because it’s so slow.

I know this is way off topic, but that gif of the woman getting smashed on the face by a watermelon. 😯 bloody hell, that could have killed her!

She cantaloupted herself in the face.

We do lots of work for charidee mate….

….But we don’t like to talk about it

Edit

Too Slow

So much hand wringing!

Tom is paid, the charity is paid, I get my lifestyle device/rabbit and everyone is a winner.

I’m off to sell some wheels now, which I paid full RRP for.

Not sure what gives the OP the right to moralise about something that had nothing to do with him whatsoever. I don’t care for his infinite navel gazing on here, but I don’t start threads whining about it.

And yes you were indirectly slagging him off, suggesting he shouldn’t be doing something because YOU don’t approve.
If someone had given him the device for free to help him out, then he goes to sell it, well thats a different matter.

Personally I wouldn’t have mentioned winning the item, so as not to attract the hang wringers like the OP on here.
Perhaps Tom is struggling financially at the moment and needs the cash. Who knows? Its none of OUR business.
(Well done Tom for making a charitable donation BTW)

which I paid full RRP for

mug 😉

When does said gross profiteering become petty profiteering? And why does said profiteering merit capitalisation in said post’s subject/title?

They were from superstar, it’s Roughly Round Premium not Recommended Retail Price.

The most successful salesman on STW won’t dip into his Christmas bonus – teh horror!

I hate a pile on, but that was your intention. As you are questioning his moral fortitude.

What I don’t get is you refrained from posting in the for sale thread, but then splooshed the topic all over the chat forum instead?

What tthew said.

Jamie- I was questioning the act, not Tom personally.

As has been highlighted, it appears I think differently in that position than most others.

My intention was not to derail his Sale, but to ask a question of the moral position in general using his advert as an example, hence posting it here and not there.

Bet it made the thing in question sell faster, though – all a ploy by Kryton and Tom – the ultimate in stealth ads? 😉

Kryton57 works on commission though. Can we be sure Tom wasn’t getting him to post a stealth ad?

Can one separate the act from the person perpetrating it, tho?

Eh next year can I participate in your company Christmas raffle???

Hate the game not the player!!

I sure can’t – f’rinstance I can only see the OP as a bit of a goose.

Clearly my thoughts on the subject are slightly adrift diametrically opposed of the norm and perhaps in that respect I am wrong.

FTFY

The watermelon died 🙁

Wait what?? Damn it…

whilst on the sick for my gammy toe

That’s God punishing you for having the bare faced cheek to win something in a raffle that you didn’t every know you were taking part in.

Thou shalt not win things in unknown raffles

that gif of the woman getting smashed on the face by a watermelon. bloody hell, that could have killed her!

Its so wrong to laugh at it, but I can’t stop watching it!

She cantaloupted herself in the face.

Right in the smacker! OOSHH!

My intention was not to slag of Tom

uh-huh..

at the very least, closure on the watermelon incident, which is nice

I will not be coerced into a charitable donation on the basis I contribute already yet choose not to make my contribution to charity

Ah, a hypocrite.

Tom, post a link to the hospice (or pm me) I’ll chuck in £20 as well.

Your the second to imply I’m a liar Nickc.

If accusation was the implied issue, what your doing is very hypocritical.

How so metalheart? I should make an donation becuase of bunch of keyboard warriors demand it? Shall i go and hang myself in the garden also because that’d make you all feel better or you tell me too? Well, **** you. You love to point your fingers at half truths and exploit the parts of peoples personalities that you think you know or you only know part of. Moreso, theres a lot of people on here that like to bully and coerce where the find the opportunity.

Ive made my apology to Tom, and explained my diveristy of my thought process, mines different, so **** what?you want to enter an internet slagging match piss off and leave me out of it. Ive no need to justify my existence to any of you unless i chose to.

think of my comment as more like a question for your conscious, rather than an accusation of your motive.

Actual post:

Not what i said metalheart, you owe me an apology for editing my post and attempting to show me in a bad light. . [/quote]

There’s been some moral outrage on the local buy/sell/swap group on fb, after several people exploiting people’s sense of charity and going on to sell items that had been donated to help them.

In my mind gross profiteering is tossers like Uber and Amazon making £££££’s of profit while pretending that their full time employees are self employed so they don’t have to pay holiday or sick pay,
This is just someone flogging something they don’t want,

Your the second to imply I’m a liar Nickc.

He’s not calling you a liar, he’s just saying that what you said was a lie.

And therefore Im a liar by definition on this occasion.

Why defend him? He doesnt know, he doesnt know me either, and apparantly my word on that matter isnt good enough for at least him or bigyinn.

You’ll all carry on your character assasination now that you’ve found todays victim and its me yet again. No point fighting the tide is there.

A bit different and actually a bit shitty
