      - ok, but i read you don't like people being judgemental and this post seemed to be that itself. -- nm - zork Aug 14, 08:31 1

Mini Work related rant of the day: Where do people get the idea that they can start up a non-profit charity and still pay themselves a large salary? - Walt_Disney Aug 14, 07:54 12
- I specialize in Non-profit/ exemot org tax. You have no idea the crap I see haha. -- nm - MDH Aug 14, 08:00 2
  - Wishes to subscribe to your weekly newsletter documenting this :) -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 14, 08:05 1
    - If I ever get anything funny that I'm allowed to pass on I will - MDH Aug 14, 08:10
- That's crazy talk! -- nm - United Way Execs Aug 14, 07:58 1
  - I can understand them getting a salary...they raise huge amounts of money on their own and distribute....its the people that create a charity.... - Walt_Disney Aug 14, 08:02
- It depends on the scope of the non-profit. In some cases, that would be total bs. In others, the volume of money and work merits and needs paid staff. -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 07:58 3
  - (however, of course, drawing a salary off the gov't should never be the *point* of a non-profit.) -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 07:59 2
    - And thats what I see a number of people attempting to do...they want to create their dream job but have someone else pay for it. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 14, 08:04
    - but how else can legistlators siphon off public funds to reward political benefactors? -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 08:02
- i guess she should if, in the end, the money still does more good for the community than it would have going somewhere else. -- nm - zork Aug 14, 07:57
- Why shouldn't she get paid? It's where her tax dollars go -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 07:55
- hey, it guarantees no profit. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:55
When did Mel join the Pixie-daggit team? -- nm - Remlik Aug 14, 07:47
Baltimore's red-light districts are rather specific. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 07:46 5
- They actually kind of are. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 14, 07:47 4
  - ...speaking from experience. -- nm - Dano si Aug 14, 07:52 1
    - I lived right near, and worked right in the middle of the tranny hooker district. Live, Work, Play! -- nm - Danoslam Aug 14, 07:59
  - There still is the actual official red-light district, of course, but even the unofficial ones are pretty defined. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 14, 07:51 1
    - i would think that most cities are similar -- nm - zork Aug 14, 07:55
i do not think i will be enjoying this commute. - reluctantcynic (en treo) Aug 14, 07:44
TWuG, eventually you realise that hitting yourself in the head with that hammer won't kill the fly buzzing around and you coincidentally get a headach - zork Aug 14, 07:43 2
- True enough. At this point I only get involved if I'm bored. I don't expect any advice to be heeded and it's kinda fun - TWuG Aug 14, 08:12 1
  - ~And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall~ - 'lia Aug 14, 08:20
I will say this about Stacy. Everyone here knows how she carries herself in those discussions. If you join in, you have only yourself to blame. - loosilu Aug 14, 07:38 71
- Personally I think if anyone here who bitches about the same stuff more than a few times and does not heed our advice should be slammed or suspended. - lileve Aug 14, 08:04 6
  - I'm really only talking about two people guys. You know who. It's just a comment, I don't expect it to be used. -- nm - lileve Aug 14, 08:27
  - That's harsh, but they would be asking to get called out again and again -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 08:14
  - Bery would have to suspend 90% of ST. I'd be gone just for complaining about pennies, or the US electoral system -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 08:09 1
    - Yay! My penny brother! - TWuG Aug 14, 08:15
  - completely reasonable, sure. -- nm - kelly Aug 14, 08:09
  - yikes. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:06
- Thanks for prompting me to BB. This was hilarious -- (link) - Banzai! Aug 14, 08:00 [Backboard] 1
  - yeah, that was. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:02
- ... speaking from experience -- nm - Loosi si Aug 14, 07:40 8
  - *says serenity prayer* - 'lia Aug 14, 07:51
  - sure. I mostly learned to not get into it (though now and then I slip). -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:40 6
    - *keeps saying serenity prayer* - 'lia Aug 14, 07:52
    - What it comes down too on here as well as it was on hsx - eag Aug 14, 07:50 4
      - well, some people are mean. don't cut mean people slack. And she totally asks for it. - loosilu Aug 14, 07:52 3
        
        I think people can be mean spirited on here yes but I dont think there are any real mean people on here -- nm - eag Aug 14, 08:05 2
        
        you are sadly mistaken. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:07 1
        
        I am not mean, I just have zero tolerance for bullshit. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 14, 08:09
- ...and honestly, I think a lot of you are tormenting her for fun. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:38 52
  - People are certainly replying to her for fun. I don't see how that constitutes torment. She invites it, and participates fully and willingly when it - mara Aug 14, 07:42 51
    - Here's what I don't get...and I'm prepared for the slamming I'm going to take by posting this... - Jim Aug 14, 07:46 34
      - I think some people either deliberately or not misinterpret loosi's posts in the worst possible way. - Reagen Aug 14, 07:50 28
        
        This is exactly right. I've grown to love loosi and her rather blunt style. - TWuG Aug 14, 08:19 1
        
        aw. *sniff*. Most people find that face to face I don't come across as harsh at all. it's a tone thing. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:21
        
        [deleted] 24
        
        (and of course, I only speak for me) -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 07:56
        
        Like it or not, it's always been my point. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 07:54 22
        
        I have to respecfully disagree with your point. - Jim Aug 14, 08:02 10
        
        Of course it's a judgement call. How could it be anything but? - Reagen Aug 14, 08:09 9
        
        And I feel no ill will to you either...in fact, to take you out of the equaion altogether... - Jim Aug 14, 08:19 1
        
        I don't think my attitude towards her has changed but I think I can try and explain the reasoning - Reagen Aug 14, 08:30
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        I guess I don't see the impairment. - Reagen Aug 14, 08:22 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        I've never said my judgement is better than others. It's mine and people are free to take it or leave as they wish. - Reagen Aug 14, 08:33 3
        
        heh. "take it or leave it" - Reagen Aug 14, 08:35
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        That's pretty close, yes. Everything is issue by issue. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 08:37
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        I suppose I'll have to be fine with that. - Reagen Aug 14, 08:05 9
        
        [deleted]
        
        i've always assumed that she was a real person posting her real thoughts but at the same time found the claims making me *want* to be incredulous -- nm - zork Aug 14, 08:09 6
        
        she has big issues. - loosilu Aug 14, 08:11 5
        
        which is why i lay off for the most part but friends (and family) will always on occasion yoink each other over some shortcoming - zork Aug 14, 08:20
        
        so in other words, don't treat her like a normal STer because she obviously doesn't have her full mental faculties? -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 08:13 3
        
        more like, be a decent person. - loosilu Aug 14, 08:21 2
        
        why can't she defend herself? she can. she's told me to stop before, and i (i think) always have. -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 08:22 1
        
        iirc, she did tell people to cool it last night. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:29
        
        I honestly don't think you're that bad. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 08:07
        
        ok, since I owe you a huge debt for defending me, I won't be harsh on you. I just wish you'd lay off her a bit. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:51
      - I actually agree. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:47 4
        
        Wow...how long's it been? ;) -- nm - Jim Aug 14, 07:48 3
        
        since you said something sensible? can't remember. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:49 2
        
        I'm gonna give you this one. nm - Jim Aug 14, 07:50 1
        
        heh. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:50
    - people draw her out, insult her, slam her, knowing full well how she will react. I don't get how that's amusing, personally. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:43 15
      - I think a lot of this "slam" and "insult" is people just trying to make sense out of what she posts. -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 07:52 9
        
        totally disagree. there's real nastiness toward her. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:53 8
        
        I guess when I read Stacy's interactions with people here, I don't see that any lines are being crossed. -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 08:09 7
        
        And if they are crossed, her response (including her feelings) are her own responsibility. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:11 6
        
        And if there is a line, she can say "Here is the line." This of course would mean she shouldn't keep bringing up those same issues. -- nm - con_carne Aug 14, 08:21 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:24
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Yes, because I complain so much about my feelings being hurt on ST. I'm sure you'll be pointing me to this post dozens of times. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:17 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Oh. Oops. Sorry. My fault entirely. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 08:22
      - "draw her out" just isn't true. no one is baiting her into posting this stuff. ever, that i can remember. - TFox Aug 14, 07:45 4
        
        disagree, can't think of an example right now but I've definitely seen it. and besides, why have the convo at all? - loosilu Aug 14, 07:45 3
        
        i was bored. -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 07:55 2
        
        exactly. you're toying with her for fun. that's all I'm saying. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 07:55 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 07:56
