I find it very unfortunate that you were not able to convey the points you wanted to make without pouring so much distorted emotions all over it. Meaning, that for the most part I agree with the necessity for action, I agree with the idea that we won't solve this by drinking kombucha and singing kumbaya, but you've gripped so hard to your ideas, and to what I can only describe as self boycott, that in this post, you've finally punctured the boat's hull.

Regardless of the snarky remarks against helpie, I won't say much more than this: I sincerely thought you valued people more than money, and this has disappointed me profoundly. But I respect your choice to set your own system of values. How horrible of us to treat people like people and not just like avatars.

At any rate, I saw that Ned responded here, so maybe this tantrum worked out in the end. And believe it or not, I wish you well, I always did, even if we started out with the wrong foot and ended with a twisted ankle.
