At last you have recognised the financial reality!

However in each case your insults have referred to the £3... let me remind you as you seem to have forgotten.

[QUOTE 3251768, member: 45"]You suggested that you would have to chose which of your current charities would have to lose out if you did the £3 ice bucket challenge.

That's tight.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE 3253480, member: 45"]You were talking about the ice bucket challenge. I said it was only £3. You asked me which of your current charities would lose out if you donated the £3. I questioned the astonishing statement. All of a sudden you decide that it's not £3 but hundreds.

The fact that you feel insults are the answer to someone not agreeing to your demands for money illustrates the problem precisely... Thanks

[QUOTE 3253894, member: 45"]I made no demands. I commented on your statement that you would not give £3 to the charity because one of your others would have lose out.

The quickest method of getting moderators' attention is to click on the report hyperlink but that would be spoiling the fun of watching an immovable object combatting an irresistible force.

This seems like the definition of bullying.

This seems like the definition of bullying.

Bullying definition:

use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force them to do something.

Nope, you're wrong.

It's a squabble between equals.
