<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 403919, member: 6370"]I think GD expressed everything I was trying to say and failed. To be honest, I cant even know what I would do in the situation but when thinking about it, not only could I not rule out the possibility I might have done the same thing, and that it might not be as terrible or as black and white as some were sure it was....or in the least it wouldn't be ripping her off as she got what she expected to get...she was not robbed. That and the fact I personally would have blamed myself for not being on the ball. My mother is an old lady and she is more savvy than most... so the age or who it was wasn't a factor. Though it obviously seemed to become one because this isn't the first time we have been told about his finds and congratulated him. I understand there are people who probably have no doubt in their mind what they would do in any situation but the previous thread and this one got to the point where he was being accused of robbing an old lady, lacking integrity, morals, ethics, going to go to hell and all other things. More condemnations than opinions on the ethics of the situation which I will admit freely is not as black and white in my mind though might be far more clear in others. If you want an opinion, someone says what they truly think, dont come back in and insult him.</p><p> </p><p>I offer apologies to Jack (or anyone else) for any personal attacks.
