This is a conversation I recently had on my blog. I know it's probably in bad character to be posting it here, but I was shocked and confused that it got to this point. I personally shouldn't have kept the argument going (I wasn't getting anywhere anyway) but the obnoxious side of my personality was actually enjoying the stupid little debate. I have deleted the original replies on my post, because I don't think the person involved need be mentioned.

The conversation begins with a reply to one of my recent blog posts:

Re: Put your money where your heart is

For those who don't know... The World Wildlife Fund ... was created by "A HUNTING GROUP" who's primary interest is in "saving the animals, so that they will still be around during their "HUNTING " season, so that "THEY" can "KILL" them. Yes, it's the one with that cute little Kowala Bear on their envelope! This was exposed by several Animal Rights Groups, and I never heard of the "other two this adoring fan has just mentioned. Be careful, and wait for Terry, his wife to tell you what orgs. are legit!

I.M.B.E.C.I.L.E, I think I'll wait and listen to someone who knows how to spell "koala".

littleblue, thanks for idea to donate to a charity in his memory. I think I'll do just that when I get home.

Re: Put your money where your heart is

Thank you for understanding the simple goodwill I was posting about.

Thank you for not taking it out of context.

Thank you for making me smile after I was saddened.

Re: Put your money where your heart is

For your information, all of the writers use "spellsheck," and mine has gone on vacation! Anyway, I am glad that you careabout the Animals!

This mornings news telecast clearly stated that Irwin's own Wildlife Warriors was the "only" organization to send the contributions to for Steve. It was on Channel 2, here in Calif. I think thatis CBS.

If you have the address, please post it!

Thank you,

Re: Put your money where your heart is

Now stop for a moment and think about what you are saying. . .I don’t believe the WWF was ever a Hunting organization. However, even if you were correct, is it not a good thing that an organisation who started life in such a terrible way would choose to mend it's ways? They are NOT in the business of killing koalas.

Now a simple example. . . Just because Australia used to be a "jail", do people choose not to visit us because of our past? There were some horrible human rights violations here, too may to mention, shall we boycott my country because of it's sordid past.

I gave the link to Irwin's own Wildlife warriors as well as the Australian conservation foundation. You have a choice as in "informed" consumer to ignore any links that make you uneasy.

Now I hope you don't have a mobile phone (many parts in mobiles and other consumer electricals are produced by companies who currently make land mines).

Please don't use my blog as a place to sell your wares. This was a good hearted post, not an advert for the WWF, it was meant as a way for people to use their grief for good.

Thank you

Re: Put your money where your heart is

Dear littleblue, I financially support over a "DOZEN" Animal Rights/Welfare Organizations! So I "DO INDEED" put my money where my heart is! No one should belong to that many, because it is to much to handle EMOTIONALLY! Three is a good number, but it just kept progressing, because in the very beginning, I did not know to "ASK THEM NOT TO SELL MY NAME!

This morning on the T.V. news channel, they said that Irwin's own Wildlife Warriors was the "ONLY" ligitimate organizatin to send contributions to. I think that is a "GREAT" idea!

Perhaps the WWF has mended it's ways. I certainly hope so!

Thank you for caring, littleblue!

Re: Put your money where your heart is

Please post the address, where to send the money to.

Re: Put your money where your heart is

Again I’d like to point out that this was a good will blog entry. I wanted to divert some of the sadness into something productive. I feel that you have taken it out of context and used it for your own rant.

I'm glad to hear that you support various charities, but that really is not of my concern.

Please remember that you can not believe everything you hear in the media. Each charity is a business after all, and they obviously want to promote their own cause. This is the precise reason I gave multiple links. I have nothing to gain I just wanted to change the mood.

You can get the address from the link in the original blog entry.

Enough Now.

Re: Put your money where your heart is

That is "Not quite enough! HOW ho you know that the World Wildlife Fund, has stopped HUNTING for sport ... are you a member, and if so, of course you would say that!

They "don't" kill Koalas.... Well does that make it "Just fine" if they go about shooting to kill every other animal that they see? (I do not know that they are still doing this, but the last sentence pertains to IF THEY ARE!)

"It is nice that I support the many Animal Rights/Welfare Orgs; but that is not of your CONCERN! If you really cared about animals, I "think that you would be elated, rather than take such an attitude.

I think that you "ARE" a member of the WWF, so get the!!!! off of my web page, and go spew your propaganda to the devil, when you meet him down the road!

Re: Put your money where your heart is

First of all, I would like to set some facts straight.

• I am not a member of the WWF and have never been. That is not of your concern. I never intended to be a voice for them but you leave me little choice.
• They were never a hunting organisation if you'd like to read their history please go to the following link WWF and EPA History . That is if you know how to read, you seem to have a problem understanding simple sentences. Maybe you could use some tutoring.
• The symbol for the WWF is not a Koala as you suggested. (Oh my apologies you called it a kowala) it is a panda. Go to the following site if you'd like some information on why the WWF use the panda as their symbol. WWF Panda
• I noticed you had some trouble following links when you wanted to get the address for the Wildlife Warriors. It's quite easy, just wave your curser over the underlined words, click and BAM! you'll be transported to the other site. amazing isn't it?
• I'm having a little trouble understanding the third paragraph in your reply. Who are you quoting? I think you are trying to tell me how proud you are of yourself. I'm not quite sure.
• And finally I AM NOT ON YOUR PAGE. YOU ARE ON MINE. So I will use a word I think you were afraid to in your reply. . . GET THE FUCK OFF MY PAGE!
• How did you know the devil was my friend? I told him not to tell anyone.

Please form an educated opinion and don’t get into little fights that were never meant to be fought. You my dear have taken something simple and beautiful and turned it ugly. I am also to blame because I continued to fuel the fire.

I ask that you not reply to my page again.
