I advised him to focus on telling us about his project and how it adds value, not focus on personal issues of why he needs funding. I feel that was pretty good advice honestly.
As I said in another comment, I could have probably worded it better, and can acknowledge that. But quite frankly this type of post is not new for this particular user and at some point it needs to be pointed out.
Yes, I could have done so better.
Thanks.
100% you had some good advice in there as well and something for him to take on board but as you know yourself the message can sometimes get lost amongst the drama.
:D
All we can do is keep trying to improve and work together for the best outcome. Have fun.
