Somebody on The Dope, a community that he flamed and abandoned, came thru for him. He came back, and was thankful, and specifically named Beck in some kind of apology. Said something about how he was wrong about her or something. That’s it. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > He came back, and was thankful, and specifically named Beck in some kind of apology. Said something about how he was wrong about her or something. So you don’t know the “large” donation was from her. Either would he, unless she used an identifying email address, _and_ he knew her name. So either it was not actually anonymous, or you’d like us to think it was her whether it was or not. . ---

Yeah. You are in Good Company with this opinion. Many years of empirical evidence proves your point. I won’t argue. But my Dogs love Me! I bought them a Jeep! 1 ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > So either it was not actually anonymous, or you’d like us to think it was her whether it was or not. Not at all. Sorry for any confusion. Just pointing out that The Dope, as a Community, came together for this guy. And he saw fit to mention her on his return. Nothing more. C’mon. Well all read the thread. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > He came back, and was thankful, and specifically named Beck in some kind of apology. Said something about how he was wrong about her or something. Dude, he thanked her for her kind thoughts in the thread. Don’t try to insinuate she made a large anonymous donation. Maybe she did, but if you don’t know so, then don’t insinuate it. ---

Okay, what kind of Gaping Asshole are you that you think I promoted the idea that Beck did Jack Fucking Shit? But he did come back and say he was wrong about her and issued an apology. That’s it. That was the point. The Dope Community (which is in a state of Shit right now, if you ask me) rallied around a former troubled Mod. He came back, he said some Righteous shit. Primarily, being wrong about Beck. Really? Is there anything more we need to discuss about this? In NO WAY did I insinuate where any donations came from. ---

I apologize. The use of the term “very same” was completely wrong in that context. I see how that was misconstrued. Please forgive any insult upthred. ---
