I don't know any rumors, I have not heard them at work, so please don't think that this is where these so called rumors came from. I want you to use that $$$ however you see fit, because we donated to someone who lost their wife in an unexpected way. You have had and will have a lot of pain to deal with Doug and we are here for you. I will send you a PM if I feel so inclined.
And I do agree that calling Doug out here in public is not right. I do not know who did it, but it should be something that should have been done in private, so I'm ashamed this has been out here like this.
I'm sure CM means well. I just don't think she articulated things very cleverly.
Wow, I am disappointed in the person who started this thread and really all who decided that they wanted/needed to know the info. I gave just a tiny bit of $ after reading both of the posts that were cited as the genisis for this, lamest of threads. And you know what? Yes, it made me curious but it wasn't like it took that much effort to master my gossipy urges. I certainly never contemplated PM'ing Shmoe or *gasp* starting a thread about it, sheesh. It's not like it'd be that hard to be able to call one of the mags that you know has full details, especially for the utards.
My cash was freely given to be freely used by someone going through an incredibly difficult time regardless of the shit surrounding the why's and wherefore's. Shmoe- I apologize that you even had to deal with this bullshit and think that you've handled yourself above and beyond.
To the OP: In the future I really wish that you would take your gossip fix from the Enquirer instead of at the water cooler.

FWIW, you don't owe anyone on this board an explanation. I hope in some way that your continued presence on this board helps your healing process.Quote:

If everyone would have just ignored this thread from the beginning, it would have dissappeared from sight within minutes.
Now there are 2 ongoing troll threads on top of page 1, and all the sweet TR's are dying a slow death.
Wow, are you the same person who posted thisQuote:

Posting my disgust at CM and the so-called reasons for this thread does two things.
It "bumps" it...a bad thing
But it in some pathetically small and insignificant way lets Doug, and those around him, know that CM does not speak for me.
CM....you should be ashamed.
This is pointless. I do NOT know who posted this thread. I think it would have been much more tactful to just pm him with whatever questions this person has.
I donated my $$ to Doug, no matter what the deal is because he lost his wife. That is it.
Doug knows that if I had questions, I would PM him.
It wasn't me. :nonono2:Quote:

I'll say this: I've lived in a Communist country until '89. When the system / the secret police wanted to tarnish a person's reputation (usually someone who had a spine), without any basis in reality, the articles which appeared in papers, or the comments one heard, were phrased exactly how CM phrased that initial post: 'Is it true that...?' ...'we have more information which we will release if need be' and so on. And they were signed, in many cases, 'a concerned citizen'.
I fuckin' hated that approach then and I sure fuckin' hate it now.
So it's a Communist Conspiracy? Who knew?
It's a Homeland Security Black Op, shhh, or it's off to Guantanamo with you.Quote:

Lighten up people
^^ what he said
I was about to say something, but then Beaver said it better.
Whatever, man this is way worse. I cleaned that thing out with rice and vinegar and my dysentery went away.Quote:

CM, your post shows an utter lack of compassion. Yes, you may have a "right" to ask, but exercising that right in a public forum -during what should be a time of grief- makes you an uncouth bastard. If your intentions had been honorable (as you claimed), you'd have had the class to ask these things in a PM. Instead you chose not only to slander him publicly, but to do so under the veil of an alias! Piss fucking poor, and if you are a long-time maggot that you purport to be (or, as you alluded, part of some barn-burning 'collective'), you make me ashamed.
bwah! more like a "big fat Mormon rat"? imposing their morals on others?Quote:

Some of this has been posted above but it'll bear repeating:
Morality is highly subjective, and whether or not Shmoe or DW were involved in some kind of "alternative lifestyle" that may have contributed to the end result is irrelevant.
Every body's got dirty laundry and makes bad choices, none of it needs to be aired to anyone but your closest friends.
Someone taking their own life and the circumstances leading to it are always gonna be fucked up but the last thing Shmoe needs is to feel accountable to some anonymous asshole on the internet.
It's not our job to hold anyone accountable. The donations were a choice, and IMO, they don't buy the right to judge.
I want Shmoe to use the money for whatever makes him feel better. Whether it's his mortgage or hookers and blow is up to him.
CM certainly doesn't speak for me.
Good luck Shmoe.
Just agreeing with what Steve and Beaterd posted. I understand the curiosity, but it really is only the business of those directly involved.
Keep at it Doug.
:rolleyes2
Shmoesmith lost his wife. It's none of mine or your business the whole circumstances behind it. I don't need an accounting of funds or how they are spent. Really, I hope shmoesmith spends the cash I sent on hookers and blow. (not that it would buy much of either) Sounds like he needs a good time.
I totally agree.Quote:

To suggest that shmoesmith needs to justify the money I sent to him is the stupidest fucking thing I have heard. It is insulting to him and me.
Wait.....You mean this ISN'T a swingers site????:eek: Somebody needs to tell the utards this stat - cause when I lived there.....
(winks at Macdaddy - Phunk - Meatdrin - oh Yeah!)
These matters have bought out the best and the worst in this community.
Shmoe - keep it tight brother and remember you will laugh again. These feelings don't last forever.
And now the true meaning of "pain train" comes out.Quote:

I agree with the sentiments of many here who have stated that this is the worst thing they have ever seen on this site. When shmoesmith lost his wife, that was by far the wosrt news I have ever recieved on this board. Qustioning the morals and personal life of someone who is need of help is truly in poor form.
Over the last few years I have recieved probably $10k myself in donations and gifts from the Maggot community (granted, probably at least $1500 of that has been in beer, but nonetheless...) Has there ever been a thread where someone has asked me for a note from my doctor before donating? Think about this, when I first got sick, I had probably only met 5 or 6 people from this site, and none of them were people I would consider to be friends at the time. The next thing I know Yossarian is calling me up teling me to read a thread. Not once did anyone ask me for proof of my medical condition, or even question it.
Shmoesmith, from what I can gather, had many friends who personally knew him from TGR when this tragedy happenned, some of whom were by his side immediately after it happenned.
As far as CM's questions go, here are my opinions on the matter:
I think he has been pretty damn honest with such a personal matterQuote:
1) Do you believe you have been upfront and honest about the circumstances surrounding your wife’s passing?
That's none of your fucking business.Quote:
2) Were the two of you involved in a “swingers” lifestyle? In your post above you make it sound as though only she was, and that she was sneaking around to do so, and it was against your values.
2a) If so what effect did that have on her happiness and your relationship?
2b) If so is it possible that the dangerous nature of that relationship and the pressure to partake in it caused this end result?
That's none of your fucking business. All I know is that a divorce would be better than a death.Quote:
3) Was she recently contemplating divorce?
That's none of your fucking business. But why would he lie about something like this?Quote:
4) Did the Police really notify you less than 18 hours after her death that they suspected she was involved with another maggot?
Oh, really? This shit is exactly what makes a bad situation worse.Quote:
No one has any intention of making your situation any worse than it already is.
Should the guy have to tell his whole, difficult story to the world. This is a very private matter, i.e. NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.Quote:
However information from a number of sources seems to indicate that you have not been as honest and upfront as you could have been
Yes. I actually sent him a pm about this subject. It's a funny thing to be offered a ton of money from strangers. All I can say is that this gives me a glimmer of hope for our fucked up society.Quote:
and that information leads me to ask this final question:
5) Do you really feel it’s ok to accept close to $10,000 from the maggots?
CM, does it matter why DW did what she did? If you think this is some sort of punishment for leading what you think is a sinful lifestyle or something, you are fucked in the head.
