Yeah this.

Keep in mind that in order to support my family and keep my young children from freaking out about a severely mentally unwell person constantly invading our boundaries, I had to act like it was all totally normal. It happened so much that it literally felt like I was an actor in my own life, playing the dog that says "this is fine."

Watching goons freak out about it allowed me to sort of freak out by proxy. So while there's probably some valid criticisms of my eagerness to share, they aren't as important as me being able to be there for my loved ones.

PS I like what that other poster said about current drama discussion enabling the argument to spill into this thread. So I won't be addressing that negative post that was recently made about me here, at all, please don't ask. I made a thorough rebuttal in that thread if you absolutely need to know.

That being said, yeah, I heard about the idea of a Goon Covid Fund and immediately started thinking about what the inevitable paragraph on the list of famous goon projects would look like
Concept: C-SPAM goon sets up a no-questions-asked Socialist Goonerocity Fund to help out struggling posters.

Potential Reality: Goon transitions the project into a pseudo-PAC, pissing off donors, running afoul of campaign finance law, tanking the politician's campaign when the media notices donations by WeedLordxBonerHitler and links foreign national cash to the donations, and finally causes Lowtax to shutter the forums.

This is absolutely true. But yeah, it works better on a smaller, one-on-one sort of scale, generally.

We kick the poo poo out of each other for giggles, but we're all pretty much on the same team, and I love that about this community.

I wanted to suggest something along the lines of the guy running the thread letting some of us help one-on-one. I was thinking he just gives a donator an address and says, “This person needs groceries for a week,” and then lets you handle it on your own. However, the thread was already underway, and I didn’t want to step on it or complicate it.

I’d still do that. I’m furloughed from work, and I’m not sure if my job is coming back, and I have severe health problems that are about to 360 dunk on my life without health insurance, but I’d still send someone food or pay a light bill. No one should go without that poo poo in 2020.

Your "rebuttal" includes calling another poster mentally unwell and listing your various lifetime achievements, saying you're "sad" for a random goon to establish how cool you actually are but not before you closed your thread to prevent them from defending themselves (lol), I can guarantee you I wouldn't have followed up on your being called out if you didn't suddenly address it in this thread because the political donation drama is way funnier. For real I have no beef against you, I'm sorry that the serial tiger king fanfiction that you and the new SA marketing manager Unfortunately Art (who I note has a red star and is a moderator now) tried to promote never went viral, but your behaviour towards this has been pretty laughable so far.

They arent a "random goon." They have followed me around SA for almost 2 years now posting completely disprovable lies in nearly every thread I posted. In the Wife's Dumbest Stalker thread they Kramered in to get a dig in about me asking people to write football articles for free. Maybe ask for clarification before attacking someone.

In this latest attack, they say that I tried to "trick" goons into writing for free. Here's the thread in question:
https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3861267

Note how we directly state "this is unpaid work for now, but we hope to change that in the future," which we did (the next season we paid our writers a weekly stipend). Also note that I'M NOT EVEN THE ONE WHO SAID THAT. It's my business partner. Doltos latched on to me... idk why.

He said I took a charity thing and made it for my profit. Let's examine that:

https://footballabsurdity.com/beersheet-files/?beer=12,0,1,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,4,6,6,0.04,0.1,0.1,-2,0,0,0

Note his the charity link is the first thing listed. Yeah we put in ads, coders cost money in order to streamline the process so that hundreds of thousands of more people can use the free product (thereby getting exposure to the charity request.)

Also observe how he took a statement I made, "Logan has revitalized the front page by hiring talented writers and artists and also me," and stated "I wouldn't trust him to "revitalize the front page." When I said the opposite: I implied I'm not talented and directly stated that someone else revitalized the front page. This person has some weird disorder where they fixate on telling easily disprovable lies about me. And all because they feel a compulsive need to... idk ruin.a thread where I am trying to figure out ways to make the forums better?

Also, saying "I have no beef with you," while attacking someone is what a coward does. You want a fight? You got one, but you best loving bring it because I'm a guy trying to volunteer my time to better the forums through my fundraising experience (which you called "various lifetime achievements"), and you're someone trying to prove... I don't know what, I guess me trying to tell someone who has been following me around attacking me that they have mental illness and should seek help, while defending myself from a pack of lies. I'm not going to back down from trying to improve my community just because you feel the need for someone to blindly dogpile on.

I feel like this thread is better for after-action summaries than breaking news. If something terrible is going down, then it's going down in that thread; posters and readers here generally are more curious than wanting to be involved.

Sagas doesn't mean drama, although drama can become a saga. Posting here about ongoing issues can (admit it, will) probably inflame them. We're all curious as poo poo, yeah, but if we're not involved already, we shouldn't be.

I posted in one other thread where you were trying to use goons again for some stupid football writer fantasy football team. I'm not obsessed I'm just pointing out that you're a that somehow convinced BeerSheets to trust you with a great product when you put out hackney listicles and lazy puns in a terrible attempt for ad revenue. You're trying to peddle that crap everywhere. This site isn't for your personal revenue stream.

This isn't some terrible thing to point out. You're a snake oil salesman. I wouldn't trust you with crap nor should any misguided people who run the site trust you.
