I think you are getting caught up in symantecs. Take a step back and look at the message Erowe was trying to convey. The campaign wants money to fill the radio tower by 12PM EST tonight. If you can't do today and Nov. 5th then do the former. It is important to fulfill campaign goals and that is priority.
You are reading way too much into what he said. Moreover, your foul language and hurtful language does damage to us here who are trying to promote good. This actually scares and distances people. Do you really want that? I certainly don't.
Take it from a psychotherapist, the best way to argue viewpoints is through constructive dialog- Not yelling and arguing especially through large letters.
Argounova, I thought you said you had graced us with your final post.
Do you say anything that's true? Ever?

Where did I use large letters?

I wish you'd drop this crap, too.
Look, everyone knows that the campaign has set a deadline for today. It's right up there on the official website. If you want to donate to it, great. I did.
But just for the sake of PEACE among Ron Paul supporters, please stop belaboring this November 5 thing and telling people to do this instead of November 5.
All you're accomplishing is antagonizing people who have made November 5 a pet project, making us look like asses in front of whatever noobs come here and see this crap, and driving the rest of us nuts with the pointless bickering.
When I ask people to drop it, I'm asking you, too.
Not necessarily completely in agreement. I simply do not think you should rope the November 5th pledge drive into this discussion. If you make people feel like they are just "sitting on money" it can only hurt what I believe is a very worthwhile money bomb event. It would be better, I think, if one were simply to just say "Please, let's reach this goal. C'mon we can do it!" and leave any discussion of November 5th out of this particular part of the "raising to win" campaign.
Downplaying www.thisnovember5th.com, an event many people are excited about (many of whom would never even think of giving $100+ in one day to a campaign otherwise), just acts as a buzz kill for something that could be really exciting to witness and even more exciting to be a part of.
That's just my opinion, though. I admire your intensity in reaching the RADIO goal. There are some who are equally intense and excited about the November 5th goal. Both are worthy to shoot for. Neither is greater than the other. We will surprise everyone, people. Let's stick together.
This disagreement is nothing but passionate talk among passionate people who are equally passionate about Ron Paul's message of freedom, who simply have different views on what's best for the campaign right now. We're passionate, but let's stop the attacks and rudeness, because it is driving people from the forums and perhaps from Ron Paul.
Then again, dropping support or to quit donating because of a little overly-zealous (sometimes childish) banter is, in itself a little childish, don't you think? Don't leave because of this thread, people. We all have the same end goal: Ron Paul for President!

Seconded, great idea to donate tonight, but come on - encourage people without beating down the Nov. 5th folks - you CAN lift people up without shoving others down.
I'll be donating both tonight and on the 5th.
(My beer money slips through my hands and to the campaign yet again!)
It's amazing when you read through this board and see the immaturity of some people. The campaign may not reach its "Broadcast to Win" goal or its October fundraising goal, but none of that matters to some because they want to donate on the 5th. It seems to me that people are putting their personal goals above the goals of the campaign.
I say let the campaign set the goals, they are far wiser & far more experienced about this than any of the forum members here. Try to remember this is about getting Ron Paul elected President of the United States, not about some idea a handful of people with a website have, so they can sit back and talk about how cool they are.

Well, then work on your reading comprehension.
The issue was truthfulness, not dedication.
He has the right to free speech. But that doesn't mean he is not an unethical asshole. Not saying that he is either. But then you have the right to stand up for the founders of course. So as far as our rights go you are both right. Isn't that the whole reason we are trying to elect Ron Paul? Freedom.
I think everybody is wasting energy and I wouldn't doubt that some people in here are not even Ron Paul supporters but support other canidates and are just trying to stir things up.
It doesn't take that long to run up a few hundred posts if your posting the same dribble over and over again.

For encouraging donations to Ron Paul? I don't think so.
Suzu,
If you're going to comment on a thread, read the whole thing so you know what you're talking about.
It's probably not too hard to guess that I wasn't calling Erowe1 an asshole "for encouraging donations to Ron Paul." Or maybe it is.
