I've been out of this thread for a while and while I don't know Vixen -- she may be completely truthful or not, I don't know either way -- I'm definitely with Angelus on this one.
Speaking as an outside observer who just now read all these posts and threads regarding Vixen's health issues, several things concern me:
1) There's a lot of general information in here about Vixen and her health, but nothing specific about what's actually wrong and what actually happened. Why not?
2) Some people are claiming the reason is that we have to respect her privacy in regards to her health. Why? Is there some sort of stigma attached to this condition? She's an open-minded nude model who has shown herself to the world and gone public about being sick... so why hold back on what it is that made her sick? How does doing that "add" to her privacy when we already know every other detail? It doesn't make any sense.
3) Also, if privacy were really the issue, then why are we finding out about this at all? Why post any of this on a public forum to begin with? When someone is truly interested in protecting their privacy, they don't say anything about their problem to anyone, period.
4) She has definitely and specifically asked for money. I know some people are splitting hairs and getting into semantics about what exactly she asked for or how it was done, but the bottom line is that she's getting into graphic detail about how much all of this is costing and how much she has and how much she's putting on her credit card and how much she still needs. She's even putting her mailing address for donations. Again, this is all coming from someone who's supposedly trying to protect her privacy.
5) I'm having a hard time reconciling the fact that she seems to not care at all about her privacy in regards to financial matters and opens up to the whole world about how much money she has and needs, yet she steadfastly wants to protect her privacy regarding her heath.
6) There's just something suspect about someone who says "I'm sick, I need money to get well, can you send me some?" but won't give any details about the situation at all.
7) Wabbit04. You are very diligent in your defense of Vixen in here and that's commendable, but since you're a relatively new member and only have 16 total posts in his forum, and all of them are about Vixen and this medical issue, I wonder what your agenda is, specifically? Where did you come from and how do you know Vixen and why is her health of such intense concern to you? Some explanation from you would be nice as well.

Has anyone in here actually seen Vixen or any proof that she is sick, beyond what she herself writes on her forum board on her website? I can't imagine she'd lie about all this, but how do any of us have any idea about how much this costs, how much she's gotten, and do we know if all of this is going to her medical condition? Theoretically, she could have been cured months ago but still be saying "I need another operation and another $10,000" and keep saying it for a long time.
Those of you who dismiss all this with a "who cares, if people want to donate, that's their business" attitude don't understand the situation. If someone is asking for money for charitable purposes, they need to disclose everything about that cause. It's actually required by law. In fact, there are a large number of state and federal laws, many recently enacted, that govern online solicitation of charitable money. This is done to prevent abuse and fraud. You can't just say "I need money" and not say what for. Especially when the audience being hit up for this money is comprised largely of people (to be completely blunt) who are 100% trusting of a busty woman in their forum and who can be made even more gullible by the thought of that woman in need.
Also, it is a federal offense and FELONY to scam people out of money via the internet, which is exactly the reason The Owner just put in the new rule disallowing use of the BEA for this kind of activity.
My point is that all of this, while probably legit, has several red flags as well as the potential for big-time fraud. All charitable donation money needs to be accounted for and properly reported and recorded, something I'm betting is not being done in this case at all. I also hope Vixen is reporting all of this money she's been getting to the IRS. She does NOT want to get the government involved and investigating her in this matter, because they won't give a rat's ass about her "privacy".
