This is my last post ITT, I am using up my more than 100 words one time, now.

wtf, I really see no other way to deal with this Golem.
Perhaps the forum moderators could look into the possibility of the post above having racist overtones and take the appropriate action as they see fit, or not.
(As in the Two Plus Two, Terms & Conditions, Section 7: User Content and Conduct, Sub Section 1.)
I am an atheist but if you Google SageDonkey Hendon Mob, look at my surname and then look up the meaning of Golem it should be pretty obvious what I mean.
Thank you

Your conduct ITT has been appalling IMO. You have been prodding me over and over in an attempt to antagonize me. The topic of charity donations is a serious one. Yes we all interject humour and banter from time to time but what you are doing ITT is immature and destructive behaviour. You should read back what you have posted, I am 100% comfortable with everything I have posted.
What makes it worse is that you are a forum moderator.
Not everything is a game, and certainly not charity that affects people's lives.

I'll start by saying that, for me, contributing to effective charities helped to alleviate my concerns about the ethics of my profession.
The above post was going to form a very small part of my longer post, which I will now not be doing. abarber mentions "alleviating his/her concerns about the ethics of his/her profession".
Clearly this is only one factor of a number of factors as to why he/she contributes to REG. This factor is something I referenced, using slightly different language, in my OP. It really has to be a factor, however small or large and it would not apply for instance to someone whose profession is a baker or a school teacher.
I won't be posting the long post now regarding REG's links or my other thoughts on a range of connected issues. The reason for this is that a small minority of posters ITT are displaying a form of nastiness that is unpleasant and only serves to be destructive.
I accept this is a chat forum and there will always be a wide spectrum of views, personalities and motives for people posting, but in this particular thread which is on a very serious topic, those kind of posts are not helpful and will only serve to stifle debate, ideas and viewpoints from all people.
It is a shame for me that I won't be making the post as I had a lot of ideas and positive things to say. The founders of REG are extremely intelligent, able and successful people so the chances are that any ideas I may have put forward they have already covered or considered etc, and as I've said previously I have great respect and admiration for what they have done with REG and their dedication to it and their desire to make the world a better place.
With Dan Smith too, the bottom line is that he donated 100s of thousands of dollars of his own money and raised awareness of some very important charities too, so big respect from me to him for that.
That's it from me on this thread, I will ignore all future hatred against me from the small minority of posters who think it's fun and acceptable to behave that way and I wish everyone including them much peach and love.
Kind regards,
SageDonkey
