Other people have feelings?

marshmallow said:You keep saying "the giver knew this" and "the giver knew that." Since we will never really know their side, we don't know how much of this is true and how much of it is warped by your perspective and biases. But be careful of what you think you know about what other people know, and what are your assumptions about what other people know.
As long as you believe that it's the right place to send money to, then thanks. (My name is Giles Kiser, BTW, in case you do do that.) You don't mind if I send a donation in your name to the American Heart Association?buzzard said:OK, for all you people who think SR is satan incarnate (which seems to be plenty of you). The popular sentiment here appears to be that the spirit of the gift matters more than the gift itself or the desires of the recipient.
Is it OK if I give $20 is each of your names to the Church of Scientology because I think it will make for a better world?

Thanks man, for thinking of me. I didn't know you actually cared enough to give me a gift, and I find it odd you would give to them in my name, but thanks for the gift!
Man, now I have to get you something.
Seriously, you show me that you did that, in my name (Timothy Michael, BTW) I'll get you something.
Warlord Ralts said:So, what did you get them each year after you got what you considered a crappy gift?

Storm Raven said:I may just regift it to my brother. He likes pens. I just have to double check that they didn't get him a pen too.
Then don't complain, don't come off like you did.Storm Raven said:Usually, I get them something they ask for. You see, I practice what I preach.
