Ah, but does the blockchain show what all of these loans have been used to fund? It's interesting that you think you have things figured out, when in truth you're just fumbling around trying to make puzzle pieces fit when you have most of them flipped completely upside down.

I've wasted a ton of time on you already, with your bizarre accusations. But not as much time as you seem to have wasted on me. EVERY dime that passes through my hands on this blockchain goes to the rescue. It's how I've been keeping it funded. People have loaned and loaned and loaned money to me trying to help keep these dogs fed and vetted, and others have loaned money to get Steemhouse launched so it can generate income not only for me to use however I wish (mostly on the rescue) but for others to earn as well.

I don't think you appreciate how desperate the situation is with this nonprofit. Not receiving adequate funding means living creatures will suffer, which is the opposite of rescue and I can't allow that. I have to keep them fed and vetted at all costs, even if that means borrowing money from everyone I know to make it happen. Repaying that money from the TARC account is not at all inappropriate. Neoxian has funded emergency veterinary surgeries, electricity to the rescue to keep the dogs from freezing on cold winter nights when I was so far behind that I'd received a disconnection notice, and plumbing supplies to repair waterlines that froze and burst in the basement of the facility. Yet you infer that somehow this is misappropriation of funds?

I also think it's funny that you believe you can extrapolate income data from Amazon by looking at book rankings. I'm to the point of just sitting here scratching my head, wondering why you think your calculations are even close to being accurate. I'm also to the point of realizing your accusations aren't worth defending TARC against, because the bluff and bluster may fool some people, but for anyone with knowledge of how book retail actually works, it's clear you're grasping at straws. It's safe to look at rankings and know we're not making millions off those novels, but to assume you can calculate total revenue this way is just...weird. And a little sad.

I am, however, interested in your definition of "self-publishing" at this point, since you seem to be quite fixated by it. I'm equally interested to know if, on the release of Steemhouse's second novel written by someone who is not me, you will begin making claims that it is self-published as well. If you say it is not, then that's also weird, because that novel and my novel will have gone through exactly the same acquisition and editorial process

By now I'm starting to lose patience with your conspiracy theories, because they're becoming more and more ludicrous. You're naming people as if they're co-criminals with me, when you can't even fathom that several names you mentioned have physically visited this rescue, in person, and contributed mightily in various ways to the charity. You have no idea if the funds transfered to them were payment for services rendered on behalf of the rescue or even a case of them helping convert crypto to FIAT when I couldn't access an exchange--you just blow hard making assumptions and unfortunately for you, you're adding two and two and getting five.
