"Fair Exchange"
Marker, there is a "rule" a doctrine called "fair exchange" that has guided humanity since long before the first bed and breakfast owner or mechanic ever served a cup of coffee or lifted a spanner.
Fair exchange was born out of the philosophy that the basic definition of criminality is "to get something for nothing" and to give something for nothing is, by logic, creating a criminal.
Now, compassion, something given for free to someone truly in need, like a child, or a population destroyed by war, disease, acts of God, etc. or to a truly disabled person, unable to survive on his/her own, does not make a criminal of that person or those populations, unless the aid continues beyond the point when the person or population are able to survive on their own. This would be called sympathy. When compassion becomes sympathy it no longer helps anyone survive. Sympathy suppresses individuals and populations.
It was with humble appreciation that I have stopped using my "signature" (web site) in my posts here.
Why, because a decision was made that my exchanges to the HUBB were no longer "fair exchange" for the valuable promotion I was receiving. It is not only "rules are rules" it is also "bills are bills" and the costs of maintaining HU are not payable, even by the most valuable written contributions provided to adventure motorcyclists et al.
So, I understand and am happy that Grant and Susan have permitted me a start at an adventure motorcycle related business, and I will open discussions with them regarding what they would consider as fair exchange for the use of my "signature" (web site) in my posts.
I do not expect compassion nor sympathy from Grant or Susan, and my right to post here is given and can be taken away by Grant and Susan as I am a guest in their house. I hope I have not scratched their furniture.
