When you're in an official capacity to help there is always attendant liability if someone takes someone's advice and has a disastrous outcome from having done so. That's why the lottery's job is complete when they deliver the money, and leave it up to the recipient to seek out assistance if they believe they need it.

You'd think it would be good PR to have some mechanism to advise folks and help them out.The average Joe or Jane who win, and not just the big jackpots, will need help to handle it.

As I said in another thread, no one is going to run me out of town. I make my own decisions, others don't. ALthough I would most likely move pretty quickly into my new large house 'just out of town.'

There are 2 specific rules posted that have been violated in my opinion by Chewie. It was a question that he did not have to respond to if he didn't like it. He degraded the original poster with the drug issue. An opinion is not mental or physical injury or insult. It is an opposition of another view, usually done civilly and without degradation. You don't need a perfect world to have dignity and respect, you need common sense and an open mind.

Four4me-I think you hit the nail on the head with your comment. From reading rundown's comments I get the feeling he/she has some serious mental problems and some issues with his/her father. Factor in the extreme paranoia and obsessive/compulsive behavior I also think he/her needs to see a doctor and get on some DRUGS.Who brought the subject of drugs up first? I think it was Chewie.Anyone worried about losing lottery winnings (when the odds of winning the lottery in the first place are stratosph... [ More ]

Barista, a forum is where people debate. You cannot butt into a forum. I don't know what part of this you don't get. A troublemaker on the other hand is a person like you who instigates an issue and offers no substance to the issue. I stand by my Bank of America stateent, as well, Visa announced about a month ago, there system had been hacked as well.Barista, you can talk all the big talk you want and try to appear smarter than you are. I'm not impressed. Do not call me a fool again, because... [ More ]

No trolling. Don't make posts that are inflammatory just to annoy people.No personal attacks. Criticize ideas, not people. Flaming will not be tolerated. This includes any material which is vulgar, defamatory, inaccurate, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, or violates any laws.Chewie has violated both of these rules. Search under his/her name and read his posts. Vial, crude, condemning and unkind.

If I'm a fool in your opnion, so be it <<< Jorli D, that statement that you made yourself, is not my opinion. The logical conclusion and the simple fact is, you did stick your nose in where it didn't belong! And now it appears that you yourself Jorli D, have come to the simple fact and logical conclusion that you are a FOOL for doing it! So, I guess I do have some logic after all!Oh Jorli D, before I forget, there is one more thing that needs clearing up! Yes, you may have been contacted in mids... [ More ]

I think that there is only 1 way to deal with nasty people.1)First be polite and remind them to behave.2)If they do not listen to good advice then give them taste of their behavior by even dirtier insults to their postings.And If it was a real life teach them lesson in such a manner that they will forget what rudeness is.

Chewie is trolling and making personal attacks. Those violations are listed under the rules of this forum. Being caustic, vial, cruel and nasty to another member is not something to praise. Chewie has made a racist coment based on a news story, and he simply responds to posts with insults and then he attacks the sanity of the poster.Chewie needs his own website and I have a few suggestions for names for that site.
