Re: http://www.savetoby.com/

Are you kidding me Sparky? Honestly, I think you are just here to get others riled up and that people should stop wasting their time responding to you. Susan and Podybears just want people to be aware of these stupid "jokes" (if you want to call them that) so that the authors don't manipulate anyone else.

Re: http://www.savetoby.com/

Sparky, we've all noticed it's a joke, so we are being quite sensible, because we are the ones for closing the paypal accounts. This is probably some low-life, disgusting college kid with a perverse sense of humor that he's using to try and mooch off of those that are gullible enough to try and save the poor rabbit. If you think this is funny, go ahead and laugh, but alot of people aren't going to be happy when they see this, and you know it.

Re: http://www.savetoby.com/

Sparky,

I'm a little confused about the attitude you are presenting in this thread and in the thread regarding dissection. You have stated that you think it's okay to eat meat and dissect animals because they are nothing more than chemical compounds. (or something along those lines).

But weren't you the individual who began the thread, "Quit your b****ing and do something?". In *that* thread, you touted yourself as this huge activist for human beings and animals, and admonished the rest of us for not doing anything to actively improve circumstances for animals.

So my question to you is, how do you reconcile your current attitude with your previous threads? What brought about this sudden change?

Looking at your previous posts and then reading these current threads leads me to believe you are just making sensationalist claims in an effort to start arguments, be offensive, and attract attention to yourself.

[font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]I just got an email from CafePress. I know I can't post the email, but this is what it basically said:

Re: http://www.savetoby.com/

on the contrary there is no change in opinion or attitude, i am a huge human rights activist. what i was saying, is that rather than complaining about things, you should take action. if i ever said i was writing any of it because i care about animals, i was lying, because if you thought i actually cared so much about animals it would lend weight to my words. therefore i think i was justified.

still, point remains, by getting aggravated about it, you are only playing into his hands

Re: http://www.savetoby.com/

So Sparky, we are just supposed to sit around and say,

"Wow, this is sick. BUT I won't get aggrevated by it because it will only play into his hands. I will sit by and allow him to extort money from people by playing on their emotions. Yes that is what I will do."

You are out of your cotton pickin' mind. Sparky, I DID take action, and that is what I was asking everyone else to do. I contacted PayPal I contacted CafePress. I posted this here and GL so that people could see it and do the same. You are probably right in the fact that this guy probably does not even have a rabbit. Does that make it funny? NO NO NO!!! It is not funny because someone will see this and copy it, not knowing it was a joke. They will Kill the animal. Is it funny then? If you want to stick your head in the sand, or up your "You know What" then be my guest. But you need to make a decision...Are you an activist, or a comedien.From where I sit, you are neither.

People would be playing into his hands if they were emailing the owner of the Toby site. This jerk wants attention. As long as people don't bother emailing him he doesn't know he's getting it.

The people that emailed Paypal and CafePress are handling it correctly. Cut him off from his money making sources and the site will soon go away. It's a way to "stop complaining and do something".

From reading your posts, I really don't think you care much about animals.

And "playing into his hands" is not getting aggravated, but donating into that "fund" is. I don't think he gives a rat's behind about attention, only the almighty buck.

I am not only against the content, but also against extortion. Or swindling people out of money, if in fact there is no rabbit. You're supposed to be into human rights, I think crime prevention falls into this area, since I think what he is doing is criminal.

The only thing that seems malleable is your brain. If this website is a joke, I don't find it funny at all.

Re: http://www.savetoby.com/

He's not getting a dime out of me, either. But I support the efforts of the folks trying to shut him down, so he doesn't swindle any more "malleable" people.

This is extortion/swindling. It's a crime.

As for DaCourt's saying "cotton pickin' mind", I don't think it was racially motivated at all. You're not offended by the Save Toby site, but you're offended by a common saying in the American vernacular?

Please grow a thicker skin. It will help you in life.

Again, you make absolutely no sense.

Re: http://www.savetoby.com/

The donate button may not be working, but if you go to his cafepress store, you can still buy with PayPal. It's a hoax as far as the rabbit is concerned, but this guy is still sick.

Sparky, are you for real? I can't believe you will take the comment and try to tell me you are offended. That was not a racial slur. Give me a break. And just for the record, my daughter's roots can be directly traced back to slavery where there was cotton picking going on. I chose to phrase it that was, as it is a common saying in the American vernacular, instead of saying what I wanted to say, which was "Are you out of your F***ing mind?" IS THAT BETTER?

i know, some of you are vegetarians, but the question remains, would you make a fuss about it?
News flash: in some cultures, they do eat people.

And to answer your question: YES.

you're all just making fools of yourselves
Well, I'm sure glad you think this is all just oh-so-funny and amusing, because I sure as hell don't. Malleable? Who's being malleable here, the one trying to piss us off or the one who has the nerve to stand up to what's going on? Oh yes, I know what's coming--who do I think I am, pushing my snotty little young, immature nose up over the rest of the world and saying that I'm doing something for the animals. I'd rather be a stupid, irrational idiot than say that something as puerile as the content of the aforementioned site is ok to post. It's just not right.

Key words: "I am a huge HUMAN RIGHTS activist." "I was lying...if you thought i actually cared so much about animals."

Exactly our point, so we were correct. You said it yourself right there, you don't care about animals and put up a false front to make yourself look good.

Please don't take this terrib;y offensively, I'm feeling a bit more venemous than I have in a long while. Bear with me here.
