lol, it doesn't make me mad. I just can't figure out why you get bothered by what people do with their money. You still haven't even tried to answer that question. Your previous response--that someone willing to give up $10 to Rivendell should be willing to give you $50k--is a way of making fun of those people but it is unresponsive to my question.
Why is this any different than people putting up money for causes they believe in? That's obviously why people are putting up $10 here.
