Yeah I know some people are saying that, but my point is they're the extremes and so by paraphrasing that POV just makes you come across as a troll (combined with some of your other posts). Having said that, I read over the thread again and it seems more people took that view than I originally thought so whatever, my post was prolly a little out of line.
I agree with the rest of your paragraph, though I don't think there's anything wrong with urging people to think their donations through and become a little more educated on the subject. This is obv wildly different from Kony, but at the time I don't think it made you an ******* to call people misguided in their donations (since most of them were!).
Anyway I'm sure this thread will cycle the same argument for a few hundred posts.
