Randomguy Posted October 18, 2015 Share #52 Posted October 18, 2015 I am upset that this is pinned. I was going to choose the $10 option, but felt bad that no one picked the $5 option. Plus, I had to deduct $5 for the pinning, so it all worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed weird that no one was willing to spend $5, but a whole bunch were willing to spend $10 or $20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted December 5, 2015 Share #75 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) This creates a class division that is unappealing to me.

I am just afraid that human nature being what it is, there might be a tendency of some to look down on members who have not ponied up, as if their thoughts and opinions are less important and less valid than the ones who paid. I would hate to see us devolve into a forum of "good" members and "bad" members. Edited December 5, 2015 by Roadrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
