I agree completely that he is under no obligation to do so.
I don't like doing things via PM simply because I'm an open and honest guy and in situations like this I'd rather just have everything out in the open. I don't want to talk to a person one way publicly and then talk differently one-on-one.

I completely apologize if my posts have come across as me trying to pressure Chris. That is not my intention at all. I just saw Chris' post where he said he thinks that I should be the one to pick the charity, so I responded by telling him what I would truly like to see happen. I think thats a reasonable response, and it wasn't at all made trying to pressure him.

your language has changed from "I am just throwing the idea out there for me to get payed by MM" to "I would request that I be paid my $2022 first. I am not great financially lately, and the money means something to me".
Dude, you need to read the context of those posts though! The first one occured right after the thought "Hey maybe ___________ might be a reasonable idea" popped into my head. The second one occured in response to Chris saying that I should have some input into where the money goes.
So of course my tone/language is going to change. In the first one I was just responding to a thought that popped into my head, so my tone would be one of "asking for others opinions." In the second one I was asked for my input, so my tone was "what I would like to see happen."

I got alot of respect for you, but I can sense the next step being you bashing or doing something worse when MM gives the money to charity and you dont get paid.
Stop while you are ahead, and PM Chris and see if he is willing. If not it ends there.
Perhaps your sense has been correct in the past in situations like this, but your sense here is 100% wrong. Like I said, the change in tone of my posts was indicative of the context...it was not indicative of a pathway I'm on where I'll soon be "bashing or doing something worse", and I think that my actions in this thread have proven that I deserve the benefit of the doubt here.
