You people are a PIECE OF WORK! Here you are bashing away on this guy and I know for a FACT that he raised money for Children's Hospital of San Diego.
I also know FOR A FACT that you, gigglechick, were TOLD what the hopspital was. You were told that it was San Diego Children's, and he even gave you a run down of how it "rated" with other hospitals (I remember him mentioning St. Jude's and some hospital in England).
As for the message being "spam" ... he wasn't trying to get you to "buy" anything, but rather raise some money for a charity.
If you found his spelling so bad ... why didn't you create something of your own?
And if any of you noticed, Gigglechick's site isn't exactly utilizing the latest of technology either, so bashing him for having a "generic" or "outdated" site is laughable! Gigglechick's site looks and reacts like nearly every other blog ... only it isn't as unique as a lot of them.
So now here you are bashing someone who at least was TRYING to do something good (and actually DID do something good) ... instead of doing good yourself.
You want to give a hard time to a guy ... while not doing "T-SHIT" yourself. Wow, you are impressive.
It's always easier to tear something down than to create.
I used to recommend your site to people. Trust me, it'll never happen again.
of course, i hastily responded (because i really don't give a crap whether or not he bashes me... i have a feeling it's the same jackass who was trying to snag money from folks)
my response:
well, i am fine with you not recommending my site to others. i have no idea who you are... nor do i care.when the guy called me and emailed me to do this "linking" thing, he did not have the specific hospital named on his site. and i was not about to have my readers going to it and getting screwed.
and that's very nice that you "know for a fact" that i was told what "hopspital" it was... interesting... very interesting.
no. i did not receive a "run down" of how the hospital rated with others...
not for nothing, i really don't care.
his site did not have callouts - and you had to scroll and scroll and scroll to try and decipher what the hell he was going for.
whatever. feel free to trash my website... any publicity is good publicity.
best-
erin
that said.... talk amongst yourselves... love me? hate me? bite me?
