I'm sorry to hear of the unfortunate experience and I guess I can understand that you're quite upset over it. Many of us are very passionate about the charitable and non-profit organizations we choose to support. Whether the response received was a matter of policy or miscommunication is hard to tell.
What I see posted here is 3rd-hand information with vague details (and for this purpose, that's a good thing) so it's a bit difficult to comment on the issue much further.
I'm not sure what else I can offer other than to suggest that your "graphic closing" is, in my opinion, unwarranted - on this or any other forum - especially from a moderator.
At this point a hat or t-shirt likely won't neutralize the venom.
Feel free to PM me if you wish.
Thanks,

Moderator or not, I'm still and always will be an individual, with my own opinions and comments. I don't let titles stand in the way.
With that out of the way, lets review:

I believe that the only material detail purposely left out, was the name of the fundraiser/supporter. If you'll go to
www.corvettedforum.com and look up the administrators, you'll find the individual in question. You might want to take it up with him
Although not present when this took place, I've known this administrator personally for many years and find his credibility to be beyond reproach:thumbsup:
Feel free to contact him and discuss the matter, then feel free to re-post the details here.

...and exactly which part of the "graphic closing" would that be?
The I'll abstain from joining part? The when they change thier position part:? or maybe the tiny assed t-shirt part
?
Your opinion is so noted. It won't change my position, but it's "noted." I'm not sure how you speak for "any other forums" but apparently, you're used to more rigidly regulated sites with moderators that watch and don't contribute. Mod that maybe won't step on a toe or 2? Thats not the case here.
Please do not let my postion as a moderator, mislead you into believing that I have no opinion or am afraid to express it.
Nor does it mean that I can't or won't speak out
The same goes for anyone on this board. We're blessed with an enourmous level of freedom here and few restrictions.
I wan't trying to start a bashing contest with you, just stating a matter that came before me and my rationale for not joining.
While were on the subject, no one is looking to "neutralize the venom."
There's no venom there, just an opinion.
They made what I consider to be a poor decision and it's cost them a member or several
(yes, there are a LOT of us from that forum who support St. Jude...not real happy about this decision and the way it was conveyed
)
Feel free to pm me...
