Simply because I'd hate to spend my money on things your baby isn't going to use, is afraid of, allergic to, has too much of, or simply doesn't like. I really don't want to "waste" my time buying gifts you are going to "donate" or give away. That would make me sad  . I feel that the vast majority also DON'T ENJOY wasting money or time so I like to let you know what Gucci does or doesn't need that way he WILL USE WHAT HE IS GIVEN ... Just because I am saying DON'T BUY HIM BALLS, doesn't mean he wouldn't love a Bargain Toy from the Clearance rack.. it just means he DOESN'T LIKE BALLS and he is TERRIFIED AND TREMBLES WHEN THEY ROLL NEAR HIM.. I wish others wouldn't read so much into the Don't list. They are just Guidelines for most of us. I think some people list expensive things their Yorkie would "like" because they may very well get a buddy that "WANTS" to buy them something extravaggant .. I personally don't list super expensive stuff.. but for those that do.. I am sure "MOST" of them do it for Ideas NOT because they are expecting to get a $100 Fur Coat for their dog  . If they are EXPECTING IT, well then yeah it's rude but I highly doubt that, that is the case. I just hope we can all have fun, like said Many times here.. THE GE IS A CHOICE, you have a CHOICE TO SIGN UP OR NOT.. I really don't think that complaining about why you don't is necessary .. Just "DON'T" Sign up simple as that. |
When you donate to a forum though and that is one of the main plus' to donating, I think you have a right to voice what you dislike about it. Obviously people WANT to sign up (brings me back to my first sentence) or they wouldn't be even taking the time to post a thread or a reply so I don't think it's fair to just say "just don't sign up, simple as that".
I think every concern should really be taken into consideration (it seems it is) and I really think everyone needs to stop being so immature over others opinions.
