I am tired of pretending to put up with you, and if you don't like that and are offended by that revelation, then fuck you.

My tolerance ends where people try to take advantage of me or others. And haranguing me with your constant, repeated fake requests.

The scammers using GAZA as their latest ploy are the largest problem, so for those who are, in fact, in Gaza, there are relief agencies from around the world working to do all they can for you. Many of those agencies have resources to connect you to in order help even more. SEEK THOSE OUT FIRST. Yes, they may be overwhelmed, but they are trying.

I receive tons of these (almost entirely a scam) messages requesting money for families in Gaza. There is nothing in any of these to tell me that you are real or are some sort of scammer, other than the fact that the are just copy and past messages with the only thing changed is the names.

1st, as bad as things are for the people in GAZA, I do not see how so many of the victims of Israeli genocide even have daily access to the internet when survival is far more important.

2nd, there are a million scammers out there for every legitimate request. I have a severe loathing of scammers, because in cases like this, they crawl out like cockroaches in the dark. And they are more than happy to make money off of the suffering of others. And we are currently living, here in the US, under a regime that is entirely predicated on such grifting. And in so doing, they poison the well for that handful of legitimate people out there.

3rd, I, like most of the people in this world, have little to nothing to give away in the way of finances for what is more then likely a scammer taking advantage of a horrific situation. And every one of them have identical messages, verbatim, other than the names of the people, which are the only things that are changed.

The romance scammers, OF sub hunters, and P4P people out there, The following goes for you as well.

SCAMMERS BE AWARE THAT I WILL REPORT YOU AS SPAM AND BLOCK YOU. AND IF YOUR PROFILE IS USING THE SAME IMAGES AND OTHER ONES SUPPOSEDLY FROM GAZA, I WILL BLOCK YOU BEFORE YOU EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO SEND ME A PHONY REQUEST.
