Truer words

You know, only last night I had it pointed out to me that roadnotes is a moral coward. Little did I know. I've always been a bit suspicious of her tendency to file all the identifying marks off the transaction when she is badmouthing someone who's been so mean and unreasonable toward her, but being now the object of same, my suspicions are confirmed. The 'debt' she has is several thousand dollars of other people's money -charitable donations- which she misused. She's several payments in arrears on a sum that is only a portion of what she had passed on to her, and several payments at an incredibly lenient rate at that. And now she's very put out at a hint that buying fountain pens on eBay seems profligate when she hasn't made a payment in half a year. Poor thing. And when she complains that there's nothing like being told how grateful she should be for favors she was unaware of, she doesn't mention that she was unaware of them because she has made herself scarce from every forum where she might be forced to be aware of them. But you wouldn't know any of that, because she has erased every comment I've posted. Because letting people see the other side of the story might diminish the number of pity points and amount of sympathetic righteous indignation she can milk people for.

On balance, I'd say the good outweighs the bad with the fund, but yeah, sometimes you have to deal with this. One of the floated fixes for fiscal propriety has been to suggest that there be a separate administrator and honoree. Which means that the person dealing with this sort of thing would get the manure without the pony. Maybe it also means there wouldn't be any manure, but that doesn't seem certain.

And I'll understand if you won't run, because administrative hassles are surely enough to put anyone off, but I do have to say that in my opinion you're as close to a perfect candidate for the fund as I'm aware of, because I think you'd be excellent both for the trip and the administration.

Thank you very much for the compliment.

There is a possibility we would consider 2007. But only a possibility.
