Let's talk about the "Valentine Hearts Scandal"...
Today i got a heart. I know for a fact that i don't deserve one. I am rude, obnoxious, and spend most of my time here baiting those i believe to be trolls. I know i am not popular, and i am happy with that.

So, this got me thinking. I started looking at different posts, and notice that no one with a star (that i can find) is without a heart.

This leads me to believe that the Admins are gratuitously GIVING away hearts! Who paid for these hearts? Abramoff? Bush? Indian tribes? Oil Companies?

I'm contacting Rawstory!

3. So, what you are really saying is...
"the only way ret5hd can get a valentine heart is if he buys it himself".

Is that what you are saying? Do you talk that way about people all the time? Do you always have such disregard for others feelings?

7. no one should ever take me seriously...
and no one should ever worry about offending me. my hide is at least as thick as an old piece of rhinocerous leather. read my OP...i spend my time being sarcastic and rude, and expect the same.

thanks for the heart.

4. I took mine and gave them to people without one, all total strangers....
Edited on Wed Feb-15-06 11:47 AM by DaveTheWave
....versus giving only to people I knew that had some already. An idea I got from "Heidi" and "Call Me Wesley".

8. Same... ( I was handing them out like hotcakes)
Edited on Wed Feb-15-06 12:22 PM by Prag
Except for a few really, really special people and "Name Removed" I gave
all of my hearts to those who needed some Valentine's day cheer.

(Oh, yeah... and LynneSin since she was raising such a fuss.)

;)

13. I didn't say *where* I got the money I donated...
*snicker*

My heart handing orgy did have some personal rules, which I won't go
into now.

Everyone I gave hearts to deserved one in one way or another.

Because, I <3 y'all!

11. I gave a few of mine to people I didn't know.
Everyone deserves a bit of cheer sometimes.
