I guess one of the big things with me is the clandestine word tossed around without great thought being put into it before hand. Our system of government allows for innocent until proven guilty but in the case of most GL and GM's this doesn't matter. There is no due process and that I cannot tolerate nor feel obligated too support.

I think everyone should read TC's post here before making any statement about Halcyon and what they did. If after reading what transpired you still feel the same then that is your opinion and I will respect it but just not share it.

That 50 was only a portion of the first month, after that I gave up on tracking it on the site, as it felt like I was trying to shame people and did not want to do that. I'm probably up to a few grand now and racking up another 120 every month but don't ask for any support, as long as I can maintain it on my own I will continue to do so.
