What this child, and his family, is going through definately sucks.


All I know is that I saw the same thread everywhere I looked. The OP may have gone about it the wrong way, and I really didn't help the situation by my post. But regardless, posting the same thread in every sub-forum IS spamming.

If this guy had come on here, and spammed the forums with some crap like Gibson rules & Fender sucks, or peddling some $@!&# enlargement pills, or what-have-you, all of you would have cried spam.



And for the record...I did not go running to Brad.

For what it is worth, I am getting email chains now about Noah. This thing is going viral? That is a good thing.

So long Fender forum.

Bro , don't go any were, I thought when I first saw the thread that this guy was full of it because if I knew the kid i would have sent a few cases of Christmas cards myself and spent all of my time not at work with the sick kid forget about the computer the sick kid is more important, maybe I'm wrong, I like taking care of important stuff myself that is the kind of guitar player I am, I have said prayers because you Bros on the Forum are doing it and I respect and care about you Bros and if the little fellow is sick I do care. Here is my wish " may God bless and watch over and help this young boy".

I guess it's true...No good deed goes unpunished. Not knocking you at all Brad, just that some people would actually stoop that low.


I find it a little bit sick that the guys been persecuted by other forum members, just cos he posted in every section. I'm sorry but that kind of nit picking, pedantic attitude tends to send me from barney the dinosaur to jeff dahmler mentality pretty quickly.

If thats the way things are going here, i dont want to know. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. How about thinking "there but for the grace of God go I". Instead of how "many utterly boring SRV tossing off threads can we ram into one section of the forums?".

Pray it never befalls you.

Seeya.


Very well spoken Niki,
You laid it right out and said what so many of us have been thinking. There are times when proper forum etiquette needs to take a back seat to someones attempt to make a persons life a little brighter. Even if only for a moment.

Exactly guys, like was said, if it had been a 'Gibson Rules' thing then thats spamming.....when it's a child's life I say $@!& the rules. Niki just spoke for us all and deserves a pat on the back for doing so.

Once again I thank everyone who sent cards. You have made his last Christmas truly special. So far he has received over 1000 cards. Thank you again to everybody. You have done a very great thing.

This is a rather noble group, whose good intentions have been tested on more than one occasion by the truly sick vermin who live under the rug on this planet. Counterfeiting, falsification, misrepresentation, and out-right theft are not new to us. We deal with it herein day in and day out.

Terminally ill children are one of our greatest tragedies, but not beyond the capabilities of some warped mind to conceive and perpetrate a sick joke . Thus a level of suspicion was engendered.

Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with the family.

Doc

Hang in there. :?

That you questioned the veracity of this was not inappropriate given some of the cruds we've dealt with herein. :evil:

"indigo' would have been wise to have initially posted the link in support of the appeal. :idea:

Doc :wink:
