George, I sincerely hope you don’t take my comments as condemnation. I recognize your great work and contributions and good cause here. If I came across as rash please accept my apology; It was not my intent.

Not at all man
Don’t worry about it.

Perhaps a nice graphics of the grey statue crying image as a tribute.

I’d prefer to keep myself as far away from that as humanly possible. I have nothing to do with it, and don’t want to give anyone the impression that I do.

Are you going to make one for Josh that say “I am Josh Cornell”

Thank you, George, for spelling “Byron Preiss” correctly. So rare these days!

It takes a special kind of joie de vivre to see a charity drive for parks and get upset about it

I don’t think anybody is upset, just expect more. If Josh (if that’s his real name) is OK with it then why the heck not. Be best!

Yeah it comes across a bit petty and trollish.

I took this idea to Josh and he liked it. He especially liked that all the money was going to charity.
I wouldn’t have done this if he wasn’t cool with it.

A bit of creativity might’ve gone a long way. Perhaps a nice graphics of the grey statue crying image as a tribute.

While Josh’s attitude was remarkably egotistical, we can’t deny that a few of his ideas actually provided ideas, if not entertainment.
Otherwise, the only reason I’m not getting this is because we’re trying to pay for our wedding.

Yeah it comes across a bit petty and trollish.

Hey guys, I’ve started raising money for parks which have been heavily damaged by shitty hunters over the last year or so.
The community will be buying memorial benches, bricks, or trees in as many parks as we can starting with the FOY and Fort Raleigh/Elizabethan Gardens
There is a little more information on the facebook page:

Here is a mockup of the plaque for the FOY:

I have also created some t-shirts just for fun. All profits from the shirts will be donated to the Cleveland Foundation in honor of the Palencar family.

Including the officially licensed… by Josh… ‘I AM NOT JOSH CORNELL’ shirt.
Thanks for your time and consideration. I’m not sure how charity stuff works on Q4T, so I hope Mark doesnt mind.

This drive rules. I donated.
One thing not mentioned is that donating gets you entries into a raffle for copy of the Japanese
The Secret
book

donated, great work. Will donate again if you run second giveaway
Would be great to add a Japanese copy considering my English reprint cost me $47 CA

Burnstyle, I can donate a copy of the Japanese book in the pool as well just let me know which edition you prefer

Wow. If you would be willing to throw in a black copy we can totally do another drive, since this one is almost over.
I’m sorry I didn’t see this sooner!

I did appreciate your making sure mentalyl ill weren’t getting made fun of behind their back. There’s already so much stigma against mental illness.
And I know the Secret thread on Something Awful makes me a hypocrit by saying this. But, if someone’s going to claim that the Chicago cask is still buried and Rob Wrobel found a dummy cask after Preiss flew out and buried it right where Wrobel was digging, I just can’t not share it
