most of us dont know who is. seriously. we are only really helping because 1) its fucked up, 2) cause of you.
and its NT, what do you expect? when i posted that my father died, either my thread gets deleted or someone makes nasty comment. i expect that. let people talk.

Paul might be abusing his right as an editor, but in the end all I see is that he does his best to help a friend, which is what really matter.
- sometimes abusing your right can lead to good things like us discussing and thinking about solutions and other peoples welfare in general.brandwidth
- rubbish! abusing things leads to getting "Strikes" from QBN then being banned23kon
- you cant write threads challenging the way the site is run so why should be allowed to editors abuse rights?23kon

if you don't want to give, don't--why make a big deal about it? it's like people are jealous their mom liked their brother better or something

Well as long as in the end, any one of us can get QBN to post up ANY stories/links that are important and personal to ourselves but not necessarily everyone else into the Editors Choice."Good for the goose ..."

would anyone like to donate a mountain bike?
- dyspl0
I see your point. In some way you are right.
But I have to say that I would have done like Paul if I was in the same situation.
That said, the idea of a poster or any good on sale made by qbn members or editors would be a nice idea.

"I honestly do not know if English is your first language because it is pretty obvious that I am just saying lets take a chill pill"
what would an asian person say to this comment?
- Dinky dude, you need to chill out...clearly it's time to call it a day. You're nitpicking and it's annoying.Lt_Jack_Hammer

When I was 16 my mothers store burnt to the ground, and it was horrible.. I understand the feeling of loss, and how everything you have can vanish in an instant.. I couldn't even imagine losing my pets as well..
Count me in on any help, is there any list of things he needs to get back on his feet?
- a list would be useful you never know what people have going spare.Mal

Well I'm glad to see all this debating. I haven't read everything here. But I agree with most of the stuff I've read whether it's in favor or not to me posting this. All I can say is would you do anything less? No one is forcing anyone to donate or help him. I hope that the other families that are displaced and lost everything get just as much help as my friend. The one thing I don't agree with is blind judging of my morals or motives. None of you know what I do outside of what you see here. If you're so concerned with helping a bigger cause than this, then do it. There are children in Liberia I know that are starving and abused everyday that need help and care. Check out (http://www.wacsn.org/).
Also, thank you NT for keeping this live and not deleting it.

maybe eric jordan or pixelranger will help he out, he's been very nice to them.

That's shit an all, but I'm just as likely to give Justin money as I am some dude from the Democratic Republic of Congo who emailed me last week.
I presume his friends and family are still alive - call me old fashioned, but aren't they people you count on in times like this?
Jesus...
- Paul0
Glad to see this thread is still going strong.
- dirtydesign0
So are people helping Justin or still just bitching about the post?
- CuriousGeorge0
has pixelranger or eric jordan donated any money yet?
- You would be surprised who has donated. Lots of big hearts out there.same

Sad and all, but insurance should cover something.

Paul,
"would i do anything less?"
If a friend of mine had a problem i wouldnt even think of posting up here and tryin to raise money from strangers, fair enough friends and family.
my brother is the editor of a magazine - what do you think he'd turn round and say to me if i asked him to dedicate a page of the magazine to a plea asking for money for one of my friends whos lost his posessions.i think my bro would turn round and tell me to get to f*ck.
that was MY point.
it is a crap thing thats happened to your mate and a big thing for those involved, but really there are probably people who read QBN who have problems a LOT bigger than that - like friends and family dying from cancer or MAJOR things like that- Well you're entitled to do nothing for your bro and no one is forcing you to help or agree with what I did.Paul

This is great Paul - hopefully it helps them get back on their feet. Guy lost everything, even his dog and cat. I would of done the same.
