That's right. If you're offended by us giving to charity and announcing it, that's your problem, not mine, as it doesn't actually impact my life to any measureable degree. I find your attitude churlish, self-centered, and incredibly short-sighted. I'd like to sit you down with some of the kids who will benefit and have you tell them that you'd rather we hadn't done this, since apparently you feel it's more important for you not to see the announcement than it is for the kids to get some light into their pretty crappy lives.
See? You don't have to care about my opinion about you either.
I'm sure glad Bill Gates and his wife Melinda don't listen to this kind of nonsense when people criticize them for publicizing their donations. Largest charitable foundation in existence. Yay Bill. Personally I want to know what companies or extremely rich individuals are acting like good citizens. I want them to serve as rolemodels for others, or, if you will, create peer pressure for others to give.
