"Moral judgements" was your statement, not mine.Originally Posted by Y33TREKker
Um, OK.That that hasn't stopped you (and others who also still haven't gathered it correctly) from making responses implying I'm the person who doesn't understand what's being said though is only one of the types of responses I've been referring to.
This is an online forum. Nobody here is in position to judge anybody, other than as a peer would in any social situation.Requesting donations that include no implied "moral judgements" directed at those who do not donate for whatever reason.
You seem overly sensitive to simple salesmanship. You are being sold all the time. From TV ads implying you are smart for driving car X, to Girl Scout selling cookies, to public radio pledge drives, you are being sold. Requests for donations are the same thing. People are trying to convince you there is something of value in exchange for your money.Seriously, is that hard to understand what's being implied by some who donate saying that THEY do so because it's the "right thing to do" while in the same breath describing those who don't as not "getting it"?
Simple as that, and what it would seem MOST would innately consider "acceptable".
What you seem to feel is some sort of judgement is nothing more than salesmanship. The fact that the salesmen in question are "volunteers" doesn't give them any special status, unless you make it so.
