Not to put too fine a point on it ... but Joe's behavior in recent months, including his refusal a couple of months ago to shred the credit card records when Jim Robinson asked him publicly to do so, is one reason some people are now leery of using credit cards to donate.
I know from experience it's impossible for some of the folks around here to wrap their rigid little minds around the fact that folks who've been around for years can criticize the site and even the leadership without seeking to damage the place or "hating" and wanting to "destroy" individuals.
I for one am sick of you and your fellows who perpetuate this absurd notion that Badjoe is now untrustworthy simply for his expressing -- in no uncertain terms -- his displeasure with the direction of the site or his criticisms of the moderator system. All of which criticisms were made in public, on the forum and with a view toward the site's continued growth and retention of the longtime members being bled off to other sites and withdrawing their financial support.
You are are engaging in an unconscionable smear absolutely unsupported by any facts, reason or logic save the Silly Putty stretch of your own imaginations.
