      @RojoLoco Never! I have several friends, including my BF that are of Indian decent ir directly from India and they run in to racism all the time. I fight the fight with them to educate on and eradicate the ignorance behind racism.

      BF? Boyfriend?I did not know that about you, Jim.

          For those of you who have the ability to assist financially, here is a link to my fundraising page on FundRazr. We would have used the more popular GoFundMe, but it does not allow for raising of funds for legal fees.

          http://fnd.us/91CvBd?ref=sh_96SYSd

          Thanks for those that can, and I appreciate everything tht all are doing in support of us.

          Thanks,

          Jim

                      Nope. It was pretty easy. A CM deleted a post, and I disagreed with him, and at the end of the discussion, when I said I'd leave if not treated better, he indicated that wouldn't be a problem, and he did it with an alarming quickness. It's that last bit, where it was so fast, that made me realize how much value they place on their core users today. Ergo, I'm not a core user.

                      I still wear the shirts and polos. Those are some quality cotton threads and clothes can be expensive. Of course, if there were a trade-in program to get Manglolassi or other brands, and they had equal quality, I'd jump at that.

                        There are a few of us who don't SW anymore.... Because they decided to start treating certain people like garbage. So f@ck them in their marketing holes... but mostly that one mod.

                                And trying to cover up that they are insolvent and unable to pay their bills.

                                WTF? Insolvent?
                                Way to jump the shark. Not paying and not being able to pay are different things. There is nothing about not being able to pay even hinted at in any of this.

                                Reality is a shit place to be, it is true, but try staying there a bit more.

                                  Way to jump the shark. Not paying and not being able to pay are different things. There is nothing about not being able to pay even hinted at in any of this.

                                  Reality is a shit place to be, it is true, but try staying there a bit more.

                                  If you are a business and don't pay your bills, it means that your customers have to wonder if you can pay your bills. That's not something you do trivially because whether it is reality or not, it means that your customers start to wonder. It's a sign that something is very, very wrong and the most common cause is that the business is on the brink. It's an SMB, the average SMB is on the brink of insolvency at nearly all times - most go out of business in the first few years. SMBs that can't pay their bills are, most often, unable to do so. This is reality. Does one mean the other, no, that's why I didn't say that. Is it a strong indicator that that is the case? Absolutely. In the SMB world, it's a very strong indicator.

                                    Wow, just read the article... This is unreal!
                                    It's the exact method as any business uses in case of non payment.

                                    I can't even think of a precedent because it's kind of like a custom 😛 You don't pay, you don't use. It's common sense just like @scottalanmiller said before.

                                    You can't take a ride on the ferris wheel if you don't buy yourself a ticket..
