    Yeah i was “taking part in i” and/or being lazy. I had a Red Wings rebuttal for you, but then realized the date. (The day of silence) Anyway, Wing’s game on now. Gotta go watch!

    I gave the benefit of the doubt and observed the day. Would be too depressing to believe that everybody is looking for immoral ways to serve their own selfish needs.
    The only thing I did different was not link to their site, if anyone is interested enough they can type the address in the search bar.

    My thoughts exactly.. talking about the event is what will really pay hommage to the victims in the end…

    i initially had the button up in addition to my own VTU memorial donations banner. i removed the one day BS banner after reading John’s post too. it’s hard to believe that someone could do this just to gain back links and PR, but if you really think about it, why else would they do it? silence is not an answer. everyone pays respect in their own personal ways. someone linked to my post saying that i hadn’t looked at the other side of the story before taking down the button. what other side? i posted a freakin banner telling people to donate to VTU! and i didn’t post anything else that day! i don’t get it…

    I don’t doubt John, but do you really think that’s all it was? Regardless, I thought it was the proper thing to do..regardless of the alleged bunk website.

    As it turns out it was good I participated in the silence, since I slammed my car door on my middle finger that day and I couldn’t even move my right hand :(
