You certainly have a right to voice your opinions, but you are not allowed to make posts on my thread that are misleading and untrue. For example, why did you not report that PayPal, in fact, allows a donor to make a donation of any amount? Message 15521477 And then, where does it say "minimum donation"? There is a world of difference between "suggested" and required. Message 15521562 And as for this post that I am responding to, the hair splitting that you have performed on the word "donation" is slanted. Yes, one has to make a minimum donation of perhaps $0.01 to join - in your words, "up front and mandatory" - and perhaps "voluntary payment" is better, but the fact is that if I opened it up so that everyone could join for free, instead of having to verify their identity via PayPal or Amazon with a token donation, Jenna would be in there, impersonating a new person everyday, and disrupt the club. Besides, if the room was only worth one penny, why would anyone even bother? The fact is that you are on a mission, and it's not about helping out people who might need it. If you were on my thread, would you have anything useful to say about investments or trading - or even offer a good recipe? We wouldn't know, because you are too busy making accusations or leaping to conclusions, on the assumption that everyone is guilty until proven innocent. Oh well. I won't bother to ask you if you have answered Lola's question: Message 15521659 You should be happy that a chat room host is confident in her abilities as a trader to open up a room on a donation basis - confident that people will like being part of the club, and presumably donate what they believe the membership is worth, should they profit from it, and those who are in the learning phase can donate what they can afford. I have no problem with it, and I think the silent majority will agree that this is reasonable. Obviously I am trading for a living, rather than "working the room" and masquerading as a trader. Isn't that why you started the other threads anyway? Teresa
