Your attempt to turn my own analogy own me by adding the context of "pissing in the food' completely negated the concept. But I do see your point about the context and don't take limpfold's perspective/re-collection as being absolute.
I just thought it was an interesting philosophical point of discussion which is why I posted in the first place.
Dream’s point, that many of you seem to be missing, is just because someone is in need doesn’t mean you should treat them with disrespect. Telling someone you’ll be somewhere at a specific day and time only to arrive several hours later, or sometimes not at all, is not ok. It’s rude and disrespectful to that person. You’re essentially telling them that because they are desperate and you agreed to help, their time is not important. They’ll get help when I’m good and ready to get it. It’s a way to flex your power over someone and certainly not a way to help that comes from a caring heart.
With friends like that, who needs enemies?
Incidentally, those texts make it sound like he was very appreciative of the “help” he was being offered. Limp was just trying to dick him around because the guy was desperate and he had some sense of power and control over him.
That being said, this Marc guy is a POS scammer that will one day say the stupid crap he says to the wrong person and will be quickly put in his place.
