Nov. 4th, 2010 12:59 amTuesday I tried to plug FictionAlley’s Pepsi Refresh Project entry and made a complete mess of it.
Charitable giving is a very sensitive and personal issue for everyone. We all have different definitions of what is and isn’t an important cause or a “real” need. There have been some good posts on Dreamwidth about the topic of fundraising and non-profits in general and the absurdity of the rhetoric (and some of the assumptions) in this kerfluffle. And some of that rhetoric was mine, and for that I’m sorry.
On the other hand, FictionAlley shouldn’t suffer further because I was outspoken.
Tuesday night I went on sabbatical from FA. FA is still dear to my heart - obviously, or I would not have spoken passionately, if inappropriately, on Tuesday. But this is the right thing to do for the time being.
The opinions expressed in my post of 11/2/10 and in my comments, as well as in this post, are solely my own. I deeply regret the embarrassment I have caused FA and any ill-will my post has generated.
