What you would have preferred to have done is not the point, Donkey.

The point is that you're claiming to have "given back" the money to Jim,
which is *not* what happened.

You keep prattling on about "setting the record straight" and
"correcting lies and misrepresentations," yet you insist on creating
your own lies and misrepresentations through your gross misuse of the
English language.

When you say that you gave Jim back the money, you are *literally*
saying that you placed the money in his hand, pocket, or bank account.

Jim never saw, touched, or in any way had access to, that money again,
so he never *got it back.*

Words matter.

We've been over this countless times before, but it seems that you've
forgotten.

What happened was that you *settled your debt* with Jim, per his
instructions, and to his satisfaction.

You did not, however, return the money to him.

When you insist that you *gave Jim the money,* you are creating a false
record of what actually happened.  Stop it.

If you want to set the record straight, say that your debt was settled
to Jim's satisfaction.  Or say that you eventually gave a total of $100
to others at Jim's instruction.  But don't say that you gave Jim back
the money, because that never happened.
