What did I say that was disrespectful? I commented on her post. Maybe you should warn your members not to post things. That may get them a bold response. I've done nothing wrong here but state whats on my mind. She shouldn't went into details about her private life. If she didn't want anyone to comment on it. Whether the comments were good or bad. Sorry!

@slotbeuker, I said maybe just maybe. I dont know why he left her. Im sure he had his reason. But for someone to be gambling and not knowing their finance situation. I think its time for a timeout and get yourself together. Just my opinion!

@wnanhee what is the definition of sin? Please tell me.

I've long ago quit using real money to gamble online.  Heck, if I had money to gamble, I'd just as soon spend it on something like some marijuana so I could enjoy it longer, so it's just as well i am broke.  I am not broke because of gambling.  I'd have found other ways to spend money.  To the friends I have here on LCB, who talk to me more than my family does, if they have a gambling problem I would encourage them to step back away from the computer.  As for me, when I win on a free chip, if I win over $100 I can get $70 in the bank and I do that.  If I have less than that, I just recycle the free money on playing.  The only person who ever complained about my spending on gambling was my hubby, jake, and what I say to him is when is he ever going to get a job and pay a bill.  I'm here on LCB and joined to find bargains and chips.  What I got was just that and so much more.  I've seen post from people contemplating their gambling problems and issues, and never seen anyone encouraging them to try again and spend more money.  Most of us here try to be encouraging for all our problems and to be happy when we share our triumphs.  But a few here seem to be all about being grumpy complaining devil's advocates.  That's what sucks.  I don't see how it makes anyone feel better to read some of the discouraging and hateful things I've seen in some posts.  Dabidog, thanks for encouraging us all to be thoughtful and to step back from the freechips rush to think about our friends.  But in my opinion, perhaps you could have said it a little differently and gotten more people to actually understand what you are saying.  And why.  Even chocolateman has some good points, they were just not said in a very good way.  Just saying....

Okay, maybe you didn't mean this in a judgmental way.  I just had my feelings hurt by what you said.  I have been through a lot in the last few weeks and I when i first read your comment I felt you judged me as a wife and a woman.  You are correct you have every right to post a on this thread whatever you may want. 

The whole reason I commented on TaaaDaaa's is because he is my friend and I was pretty much going through the same nightmare.   I wasn't looking for sympathy.  I was just explaining why the money was not in my account when they withdrew it.  That's all.


Second, When I got this reply from the casino.  I did not pout or speak badly of Tropica.  I posted their reply so if anyone else ever has a chargeback with a pending withdraw they can search this site and maybe know what to expect.


The point is neither you or I have gotten to know each other very well, but I have made some wonderful friends on this site and they do know me.  We don't just share gambling experiences....our friendship goes beyond that.  We actually care about one another. 


Now when I read this my first thought was:  Do not judge others or you will be judged.  My second thought was Forgive others or you will not be forgiven.  So bottom line is if you were trying to hurt my feelings by your comments.....I do forgive you.  That may have not been your intention but to me it is water under the bridge.  I do not hold grudges and I don't want to start now.  Either way, I am not here to fight with others.  I hold no hard feelings towards you.  You have your opinion and the right to post on this is a forum.  You are correct that whatever we post can be read by anyone and commented on by anyone....good or bad. My whole posting on this subject was to share my experience and help anyone in the future with the information on chargebacks.   As you said, I can post what I want just as you can.

As for my friends who supported me with your kind words I am grateful to have.  Bottom line is LCB to me is the by far the BEST gambling forum on the internet.  I hope we can all remain civil and get past this.

Cindy - What you posted was why your account was empty - you didn't go into the "whys and hows" - damned right too.  It's none of our business. 

I personally think the comments by chocolateman were unnecessary - I was quite taken aback when I read the new posts on this thread.  The reasons your husband left are nothing to do with anybody but you - you merely stated a fact - he cleaned out your account and without your knowledge and this is how your chargeback nightmare began. 

Fortunately, the majority of members are supportive.  I could ramble on and on but I won't.  Suffice it to say Cindy, we are here for you.

blue

Show her how much you are there for her. Replace her money back into her bank account,

Chocolate Man.. you should either apologize, or stay out this topic, cuz that statement to Blue was some bullsh*t.. just my opinion sorry if i was direct, kind of upset me reading all this and then this statement you posted.. looks like an attack..

chocolateman ,

I dont like one bit how you addressed members in this thread. And i dont like how you addressed my Moderators.

You are entitle to your opinions, and thats not the issue here. The way you expressed them is what I mind.

Consider this as a last warning before you earn yourself a vacation.

Thanx Lips for closing this thread.

If anyone wants to discuss the original issue be free to start a new topic.
