If you don't want to donate, don't. No one is going to care.

Tiberius pays all the expenses out of his own pocket, and has provided the forum completely free of advertising whatsoever.

Some of us think that's worth something.

Why is there mango icecream? I don't like it at all! All very deep questions.

I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes, when I'm not required to do something I wasn't going to do anyway, it makes me furious.

I don't mind a bit of advertising on the forums if it helps to cover the costs.

Honestly, I don't think it'd be worth it. 'Course, I'm not the one that writes the checks, but I haven't heard him complaining either.

Officially filed in the douche category...check.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I don't know. Why would anyone pay for a website they don't make a profit on?

But as long as we're on the question why give anything to anyone ever?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Can't we all just get along?
Unbelievable that some people would act this way.
Not how I behave online whatsoever!
Time to get some shuteye, methinks. I'm tired.
