Well, as they say, Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

- No one is trying to convince anyone to move to Detroit.
- No one is trying to change your opinion if you feel Detroit, or the people of Detroit deserve to die because the free market determined it.   Just don't donate or help if you don't want to.
   (For that matter we would not have National Parks, or clean air if the free market were left unfettered. See the tragedy of the commons).
- No one is stealing any money from your online wallet.
- I would also doubt that the folks who are giving advice on how to start a business or charity have actually done it.  There is no one prescriptive way to start a movement. As a successful serial entrepreneur I can assure you that in some cases it is still OK to brainstorm on the back of a napkin.
-There is more to this plan than has been presented on the one page site. 

Now, having said all that, upon trying to get past the low signal to noise ratio of the reaction to this project so far and pick up something useful, I  accept the aversion to an anonymous charitable project asking for donations.  Even if I was initially annoyed.  Though there may be a bit of irony seeing as the bitcoin community revolves around anonymity from its founder to its transactions but either way I understand it now. I would add that if there is interest from a charitable organization, or a dedicated individual we would be happy to work with you and discuss the plan.   However, at this point I personally prefer to be like Batman instead of revealing my Bruce Wayne identity. 

Please feel free to comment, but please just refrain from donating or getting involved instead of going back and forth with antagonistic posts on grammar or spewing other irrelevant points.  If you have other valid constructive criticism, fine but I'm guessing it's probably time to move away from this thread altogether.
