Some thoughts.
1 worst trolls are said to be the ones who dig in threads to attack other posters on personal ground
2 I can't reconcile somebody full of love comités to charity fundraising losing his temper and writing a post full of hatred.
3 fundraising doesn't work the same in U.S. Than in Europe apparently. Don't expect much from a total stranger raising money by himself. We tend to prefer established organizations.
A part cela l'idée est absolument excellente.

No. "We" prefer established charitable organizations in the US as well.

There are laws being discussed that would oblige charitative (or is it charitable as above or both are correct ?) to disclose the percentage of funds raised actually allocated to the cause (thus fund raised - functioning costs).
A little bit like the casinos advertising in Vegas.

I'm not sure how the same person wrote this 'sweet' response and the vile language on the other thread.>
A classic symptom of some serious problems IMO. Seems to be playing around - and that seems to be a goal.
dottedstripes - Go for it - do not let naysayers deter you from your dream - I have a dream you say well go for it.
Good luck

"vile language", janisj, really? When you run around saying "bite me" on these boards when you're disagreed with? Give me a break!>>
clearly, NewB, you haven't read what dotted stripes posted on the "can't we be nicer to each other" thread.
<<Langue de pute ou langue de bois ?
Il/elle en maîtrise déjà une au moins.>>
whatever sort of language it is, whatello, the OP says that s/he doesn't speak french so your bons mots are falling on stoney ground.

I'm already glad you find it a bon mot.
Kerouac also understood it I'm sure so I'm happy...
I have nothing to say to Dotted. I'm not a psychanalyst and am not interested in dissecting her posts. I read the other one and it suffices for me. I don't want to talk/write to him/her.

I didn't read what dotted stripes posted on that thread, annhig, but if you're saying it's worse than "bite me", what's your point? That it's OK to use bad language if you're a regular but "vile" if you're not? Does it depend on the day??
It never ceases to amaze me the rights and privileges that the self-appointed doyennes of Fodorville reserve unto themselves, chief among them being the right to be rude AND scold others for rudeness, often in the same thread.

Read dotted's vitriolic latter post and you will see why this type of content is just over the top - from newbie or NewbE to the most veteran of Fodorgarchs. If you do not change your mind after reading it please explain why that type of profanity should be tolerated from anyone.
That said I hope the moderators leave it in as it reflects most poorly on the writer and not those she/he writes about.

Fine, now I have, and my point still stands. It's just not on to be rude when it suits you and then castigate others for rudeness when it suits you. You can't be a hall monitor and a truant both.
