CG I have been known to do the very same thing, and I feel exactly the same way...what the person does with what is given him, is on his/her shoulders and is his/her responsibility.

Consequences? What consequences?? What have you done?? Are you speaking of the upgrades you paid for?..You feel that perhaps if you hadn't upgraded us, we wouldn't have gotten involved in the group at Evony?..Please, Please, do not think such a thing, because I submit your actions had not one whit to do with any of it..What happened, happened, and most likely would have whether we were upgraded here or not..Don't go beating yourself severely about the head and shoulders for that reason...

You did what you did out of the goodness of your heart, and I CAN say that it was appreciated more than can be expressed here, but why feel guilt over that decision? Hurt? who's been hurt? We are all adults right? We've made it this far...and we will continue too, in spite of whatever this is perceived to be. I for one, think that 5 years from now...NONE of this will matter one teeny, tiny bit to ANYONE that's here right now..so perhaps it would be good to keep it in it's proper perspective, and not let it overwhelm us. IF that sounds as though I don't care about the people of the Gulf..oh no no...nothing could be further from the truth, and that's exactly WHY I agreed to get involved. IF I did not care, I would not have been on this thread since the first day. My heart hurts to think of them all, victims..but I believe we will all be victims to some point before it's over, especially IF those being affected the most, continue to not demand accountability. I also believe that we have serious things going on, that need to be paid attention to, all over the world, and personally wish I could just wiggle my nose and make it all stop, but we know that's just not going to happen..

I can also say I'm sorry you feel the way your message is hitting me, and wish I could understand why anyone could feel they were harmed by our actions. Every message and any info we received was posted on this thread. WE know nothing more than any of you know. I did what I did...which was try to help...because I wanted to help..I believe the guys involved have expressed the same.

Don't let this be your last post...Nothing has happened that should keep you from here, and as you said about the guy you gave the money too...whether or not he had a family in need, is on his shoulders...rest easy CG..rest easy..
