I have never accepted money from anyone to express an opinion of any kind.
Accepting money is not what's at issue. Nice try, I suppose this sort of slimy, intellectually dishonest behavior usually works for you.
I'm pretty sure you're trolling now. You have exhausted my ability to presume good faith. I give up on trying to reason with you.
In all the years I've been posting on Internet forums and blogs, only two people have ever exhausted my presumption of good faith. So congratulations.
