Wuzzerdad,
You wrote "I do feel I have not been an ahole here about asking "her" to provide information about her status to back up her request." However, in your posts, you have referred to the original poster as a "spoiled lazy child with a bad attitude," "full of crap," a "spoiled brat," an "ahole," and a "lying sniveling POS," among other things.
I don't know if the poster is running a scam or not. If you suspect she is, all you needed to do was do one posting saying that the story seems suspicious and leave it at that. People on PunaWeb are pretty savvy for the most part and we can figure out who's on the level and who's questionable. Several commenters offered generic advice, which is probably all the original poster hoped to receive. But I think it is your barrage of personal attacks and condescending comments that many of us find so offensive and unnecessary. With all due respect, sometimes the best response to a posting one considers questionable is no response at all. I applaud your generous offer to buy a scooter for the poster, but when it became clear you had concerns that were unaddressed, maybe that would have been the appropriate time to take your own advice ("Get over it") and move on, rather than continuing a barrage of negative comments that have done little more than tarnish your online reputation.
