I am sorry you are offended. Those who cannot donate should not be offended. When 9/11 occurred, I was in a financial postion that precluded me from donating anything above a token amount.
OTOH, had I seen at the time (and I did) people encouraging others to donate to some cause (or expressing dismay that others have not donated), I would have shrugged my shoulders, thought to myself "I've done what I can" and let it go.
And I'm still pretty.

Your prods have come off as a bit sanctimonious and self-promoting. IMO. I have no problem with the pledge to match (if that is what is was; I'm not fact-checking your offers here but this is my recollection), which is a great move and should be commended, but the Get Off Your Ass And Donate Already and the Anyone Who Hasn't Donated Is A Chump messages don't hit your best note. People are aware of the offer. Why not just leave it at that?
