I donated a small sum of money. This 'cause' was the first time I have ever donated anything to anything online...and it turns out like this. I admit that I feel a bit snookered, but the sentiment behind what I was doing was still there. I've come to like and respect, in some ways, most of the people on this forum. I felt (and still do) that the people on this forum would be here for me, would have my back if I needed it, and I saw this as my chance to start helping keeping an eye on someone else's back.

Then I get burned, so to speak.

But I won't let that change how I feel about CP and the people who frequent this forum. It may mean that I'm more leery of donating money and may look to (further) ways to donate time or material goods instead of cash.

However, I won't let this...incident, despite the disgusting taste it's left in my mouth in regards to PIMking in particular, color my perception or feelings towards CP as a whole. While I would now/still be a bit more leery of 'asks' even here on CP...I feel that the majority of the population here still warrant the benefit of the doubt.
