Hurricane Katrina affects us all!
Or so says vittrawhitetail in a "heart-in-the-right-place,-but-your-post-is-not" over at customers_suck. [here]:

Most people join in the outpouring of support, but some object:

Look, hippie... Those of us who get the enormity of the situation have already donated or are getting ready to.

And I don't see why we should post how much we gave because it's not a contest or a feel-good circle-jerk hempfest. It's real goddamn life. I didn't give to "celebrate". I gave so they can get water and first-aid and the help they need. I'd "celebrate" if Superman came down, turned back time, and stopped the thing, but it's not gonna happen.

Others are against the idea on principle:

Personally, I think its rude to tell people what to do with their money.

Seconded.

Honestly, this community is about sucky customers, I don't expect to have someone shoving a donation box in my face and naggily guilt me, get enough of that at the mall.

Mini-wank, bite-sized, really, but F_W is slow today.
