When you repeatedly publicly tell people they don’t need to send you money you are not actively soliciting money.
How many times have you heard Teddy say that? Give me a break. He’s a stalker. Mr. GG2 has had to try to block him from email emergency pleadings. LOL!
When you repeatedly say that you are self-funding and people don't need to send you donations, and at the same time set up a fundraising page and actively solicit donations, you may be accused of speaking out of both sides of your mouth.
