Does anyone remember the guy that was selling domain names about the VT killings, trying to profit from them? |
| there was a guy who was trying to sell all kinds of domain names related to the tragedy at VT. It happened right after the shootings and his webpage was had a bunch of gun myths on it. There was a thread about on here somewhere, just didn't know if you guys remembered it. Anyways I emailed him telling him that the facts on his website were not correct and how that it is despicable to try and profit off of such a tragedy. He emailed me back saying the only ones offended were "gun nuts" and that people like me were what's wrong with this country. It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. |

my latest response to him(2 seperate emails). He hasn't written back I answered you by saying that you are no better than him for trying to profit off of the deaths of these people. That is the plain and simple truth that is self evident by the domain names for sale on your website. I did not run away, I am right here. Tell me one thing. Are you, or are you not trying to make money off of this tragedy? his latest response Hi rcr29, Nice job of completely avoiding the subject. You took someone who has committed no crime, not even an parking ticket, and compared this person to a mass murderer. This is patently ridiculous, and I asked you to explain yourself. Sir, the problem in this country is YOU. People who make absurd, untrue, attacking, statements based on a story they were fed, then run away when challenged. I asked you a specific question, and I challenge you to answer it. How can you compare someone who has committed no crime, caused no damage, and never received even one complaint from anyone at Virginia Tech to a mass murderer? Right this moment, I am challeging to answer the question I asked, not some other question you'd prefer I ask. Fred > You are trying to make a profit off of this tragedy. That is plain and > simple.
