I was also troubled that Joe made my donation status available to Bob. I thought this was supposed to be confidential information. I refinanced my home and used some extra cash to close out my credit cards. I ask Joe to please stop my donation, fully intending to start back up as soon as I closed on my new loan. But I get a late night phone call from Bob asking me why I quit giving money to FR.

When Joe saw you cancel your monthly, he called me knowing that you and I were friends and thought it may be best to give you call and find out what was wrong. You know as well as I do the only reason I called was to check on your welfare and see if there was anything I could do or explain.

Chuck: I've lurked here for a long time, and have read many of the threads you posted to. I also lurk at the other site occasionally, and have seen your comments there. I haven't thought of you as someone who was out to "get" Jim Robinson, or FreeRepublic. I don't know the full extent of your problems with anyone here, but I had to post a comment in regards to Badjoe. I don't believe Badjoe would give out personal information about anyone, but I know that he cares alot about people. If Badjoe thought someone was upset, he would try to straighten things out. I know from personal experience that Badjoe is a good friend that would do anything to help if he could. I believe what Bob J. said about Badjoe being worried about you.

And here we find the root of the misunderstanding. Good people being concerned about a good guy, thier friend. Surely this can get worked out.
