Answer the question you keep ducking:

Is it OK to buy ad space representing someone else without their consent?

We already said he was right. Many times. So what am i ducking.

Oh and i said TWICE before. YES it woukd be ok for my mil to take out ad space in my name in a community company program.

Yes its fine with me. No i have absolutely no problem with it

Questions???

Well, there's some truth in "advertising" then.

You just proved my point. You, and he are creating a problem where one didn't exist. Doing something nice for others doesn't enter into your worlds. Very sad.

Ha. Nice assumption. Not gonna bite. I just don't want people putting things in my name, with well intentions or not, without giving me a heads up first. Not a lot to ask, not a bad thing to require at all. It seems you are easily blinded by the emotion you attach to the holidays. I understand.

Yeah doesn't seem like he could handle this with grace. But in an adjusted reality where you don't go to the internet for trivial things like this, a quick light conversation about this is all that would be required.

Based on the presented evidence, your conclusion is solid.

Hey! I hear there are some federal judgeships open ...

The OP's behavior is negative behavior which I do not tolerate.

If the MIL is passive aggressive, then that is negative behavior as well.

My eyes are wide open. I'm not blinded by anything. I don't think you really understand at all.
