wow, so I'm an arsehole

she probably has breast cancer and is keeping it a secret or something.

I have to agree with the others here. You really made it sound like you wanted her to work for your donation -- asking her to explain why her charity is better than another. Then you indirectly imply that she needs help on her sales tactics, by asking if you could help her improve on them. Then to top it off you act condescending about the amount of money that was already donated.

All you had to do was click the link, donate the money. Or click the link, and decide to donate to your church instead. Instead, it sounds like you wanted some type of acknowledgement from her that you were doing her a favor, or willing to do her a favor. That isn't what charity is supposed to be about.

Do you still have feelings for her or something?

Lets recap

She sends an email soliciting donations and links to a donation page

You respond with what makes your charity better than mine

She doesn't answer your question but thanks you for your consideration (should have been the end of it)

You reply back offering to train her in fundraising (arrogant asshole move)

She replies back "You don't get it, it's just a website to donate" meaning donate or not I don't care and I don't want your sales training..

You reply back "I get it, you suck at soliciting donations and have only gotten $25" and offer once again to share your ubber sales skills" (dumbass arrogant asshole move)

She proceeds to bitch slap you via email

You get all whinny and post this silly thread

To summarize yes you deserved the email bomb, and a swift kick in the nutsack.


In the future when you turn to her for a booty call, maybe she will offer to teach you how to masturbate

Bravo sir, Bravo.

This thread has been useful to me.

I can now add the OP as someone who I never wish to encounter again in my lifetime. I am gracious.

Thinking about donating, I message her, stating I normally give to my church and cancer missions are part of their overall plan. Putting the message in a "devil's advocate" form basically asking why I should give to her organization instead of my church, she just replies back with a brief "thanks for your consideration"

So I reply back asking her if I can help her on her sales tactics. I had my wallet open ready to give $25 as long as she acted like she really cared, instead she gives me no reason to donate to her instead.

WTF dude...I would have never talked to you again after that bs. You should donate for the cause not the person.

I am doubting you really donate anything. Most that do don't have this mentality.

thats whats i was thinking. but yeah the OP deserved it.

I could see, finishing a race, giving it your all, and getting a decent time, only for your coach to say "you could do better" kind of insulting at first, but my intent was to say I believed in her enough that I felt she could achieve even better results... Is that wrong?

You are like the one legged runner trying to tell everyone else how'd you have done it faster if they'd let you compete.
