I've fought with a lot of people around here. The list of people I've been involved in a battle against would look like a who's who of GC posters past and present. Yet, I can still say that I have always respected those people and even considered most of them friends and brothers. I can only recall very few people that I've actually lost all respect for around here and I'm sorry to say that I now count you among them.

The last paragraph you typed says it all. You think you're entitled to decide these things because the community doesn't like you anymore? What the fucking hell, man? You are trusted with the money of this community and that trust suddenly doesn't matter because we "don't like you?" So, Todd, if I fucking hate my mortage broker, does that entitle him to screw me out of my money? If my landlord hates me, am I entitled to keep the rent money?

You confused personal feelings with business. You were handling other people's money; that has not one goddamn thing to do with how this community "feels" about you or how you feel about it. Your "feelings" and ours are completely irrelevant in the matter.

You, sir, are damn lucky that this community values its privacy over even money. What you did was a criminal offense. You misappropriated funds earmarked for a charity organization. No matter how many times you say it, nothing can prove that this money isn't in your bank account. You would indeed have one hell of a lawsuit, plus criminal charges, slapped on your ass if you'd done this to any other community and you damn well know it!

I had no problem with you turning your back on us, Todd. That's your right and while I didn't agree with it, I didn't hate you for it. But, now you're sitting here saying "Well you all hate me anyway, so I don't care what you think, I'll do what I want with your money" as if that's actually a reason. You're dispicable, Todd. You're nothing but a common damn thief.

Well, whatever. Live and learn. We now know that you're not trustworthy and not worthy of any respect you've ever been given. I hope that cash is worth it. No, actually, I hope you really ARE giving it to help kids, but that would be the act of a respectable human being, so I have no reason to think you'd do such a thing.
