It seems we are not allowed to speak about anything negative elsewhere. Please do not speak badly of Tricky Dicky and co.

Ive had an abusive message from people on there. I'm actually shocked. They have the audacity to call me a troll but then send me messages. I found it quite funny because they were racist - im actually white but have features that make me look different. Idiots.

Don't think he knows that Nerf. I think he has even less clue than the average layperson.

youngcynic · 04/01/2015 00:42

I note that the baby's father has now set his facebook profile to private. Previously all the posts were public including photos of him showing they flew out to NY first class and they were staying at the Hilton.

GraysAnalogy · 04/01/2015 00:45

It really doesn't matter what sort of holiday they booked though, how they flew or what class. Thats irrelevant. All that was beforehand and anyone can save for that sort of hol. What is relevant is the abuse of trust and money.

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/01/2015 00:46

What do I need to do to get my member ship approved over there?

forago · 04/01/2015 00:47

They really don't understand the meaning of the word troll on that site .....

I know its wrong but i really had to do a lol at "deformation of character"

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/01/2015 00:47

Not when one day he's posting about planned 5th Ave shopping and the next day he can't afford to buy his own pants Gray

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/01/2015 00:49

Reference to the parents being self-imploded was quite enjoyable earlier too

GraysAnalogy · 04/01/2015 00:49

That's fair enough arsenic but mentioning what was booked prior just makes us seem stupid IMO. Belittles what's important. I'm poor but would be able to save for first class and all that. However your example is different.

youngcynic · 04/01/2015 00:50

Surely though if they can afford these things they aren't short of a bob or two. I personally would use my savings and/or rely on help from family/close friends before asking the public to hand over money. Also looks a bit dodgy that now there are threats of them being reported for fraud and media outlets being contacted he has now making his account private. But that's just my opinion, of course.

Nerf · 04/01/2015 00:51

Grays, that's awful. No one should be personally attacked.
Probation, arsenic, just felt the need to pedantically point it out.
I still feel that people are wanting to donate, and have been saying they don't care if the money is used for living costs. Lots of assumptions here as well over them having Sky to pay for or HP etc. Tbh I don't think that it's a bad thing if they can avoid getting into debt by having wellwishers help out.

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/01/2015 00:52

(that last in response to forago)

GraysAnalogy · 04/01/2015 00:52

Some people do though that's mt point. I know friends who have saved for the holiday of a lifetime, and I mean they've left themselves with nothing to be able to afford the holiday.

Anyway I'm fully in agreement with this thread it's ridiculous what is going on, just wanted to point out that maybe perhaps we shouldn't be focusing on the couples choices beforehand. :)

GraysAnalogy · 04/01/2015 00:54

Ive reported it nerf but doubt anything will be done. I particularly liked 'pki bug eyed bitch Confused

If I were the couple Id rather people like that kept their money!

youngcynic · 04/01/2015 00:54

Initial donations were made on the premise that they would cover medical costs, not to ensure that the couple don't return to debt.

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/01/2015 00:54

Probation?? Confused

Sadly there's been racism aplenty. Gray isn't alone there Sad

IgnoreMeEveryOtherReindeerDoes · 04/01/2015 00:56

Arsenic did you get approved over there yet?

GraysAnalogy · 04/01/2015 00:56

young I know but what I'm saying is just because they could afford the holiday doesn't mesn theyre loaded. That's all im saying because people have implied it. I agree people shouldnt have to pay to prevent them having debt.

Nerf · 04/01/2015 00:58

Probably - weird autocracy!
Cynic, yes initially, but he has refunded someone and changed the information now. (I know, I know)
Gray, I hope you get a satisfactory response.

GraysAnalogy · 04/01/2015 01:03

My friend hasn't been accepted to the group yet if anyone on here is running it. Haven't joined myself because don't really want anymore abuse in my inbox. I haven't got a anon account. Wish I'd have made one now!

ArsenicFaceCream · 04/01/2015 01:11

Yes thanks Reindeer

GraysAnalogy · 04/01/2015 01:20

Almost tempted to ask for a refund to prove a point but not sure if that's being childish.

Tinkerball · 04/01/2015 01:20

I read both threads but couldn't find them, this makes sense if they have been pulled, it would be interesting to know the real reason, I see the McCanns have been mentioned on this thread and is there a connection, I'm confused.

bloodyteenagers · 04/01/2015 01:24

Wow over 300 members in a couple of hours.
No media coverage. Just from the back of this thread and of course the Huns getting their knickers in a twist.
That's a lot of disgruntled
People asking wtf.

Personally if I had donated I would be asking for it back. Would rather make the request now before it gets caught up in an investigation. Under investigation doesn't help RMH.

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 04/01/2015 03:08

I've been thinking about this today, came back and poof! I can't believe the other thread was deleted! That sucks!!

Anyway, what I was thinking about was the fact that they are, presumably, just here on a tourist visa. So, doesn't that mean they can't accept any payment at all for interviews? Because, if you're here as a tourist, you're legally not allowed to earn any money afaik.
