Yes Markus, For some strange reason it happens to me to, could it be the server is down or something like that? But thanks for publishing the donate page, that's really nice of you. Just my luck that the server would go down just when I wanted to use it as proof, but hey, these things happen.

[videoblogging] Re: I am so disappointed in You all.
Josh, you can be critical of emotional responses someone expresses in
frustration over pressing issues of life and death. However, you
really violate social civility by imputing "evil intentions" to an
expressed passion to do good and save lives.

We Americans deserve to be criticized for spending 1% or 2% of our

Saying members of a vlogging community that glorifies the values of
sharing and helping seem unconcerned with two billion people who live
on $1 a day & die by the millions simply because they don't have
access to clean water is not "insulting" them. It is a "challenge"
and "wake-up call" challenging them to do better.

No one, no group should be offended if basically valid criticism is
expressed in a socially "impolite" way. ("You smoke cigarettes! How
stupid can you be? Don't you know what they are doing to your body?")

Most human beings are only concerned with materialistic matters. If
you traveled in poor countries & saw women sleeping with her four
children on the street with only cardboard boxes as covering against
the cold, you'd have a more informed understanding of the hostility
directed at selfish materialistic Americans.

This is really an ugly personal attack. Paul does incredible
sophisticated vlogs that are largely ignored by the mindless mobs on
the Internet.

We are all "interested" in helping charitable causes. I set a
several fund appeals aside around Christmas intending to send them
contributions in varying amounts--Jimmy Carter, the Humane Society,
Amnesty International, the Gay Community Center, etc.
Actually, the easiest thing in the world is to "not act" on your own
charitable impulses. I hadn't written the checks & Paul's
frustration and emotional over-reaction at a total, absolute, zero
response from the 2,500 or so people on the list motivated me to get
those checks written and in the mail.
I felt so bad about Paul's "zero" response, I gave $20 just as a
token of support even though I'm not familiar with that charity & am
very selective about the groups I support financially.
Yes, Paul certainly wasn't "politically correct" socially. I agree
that his anger might have been counter-productive. He's not going to
be voted "most popular vlogger of the year" by folks on this list.
That said, I respect his genuine "good" intentions. I don't know how
much he will ultimately raise for his chosen charity but his anger
reminded me of my own uncharitable negligence. He raised a lot more
than $20 for all the causes listed above.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: I am so disappointed in You all.
You know Jan and Josh, I typed a really good come back for that, but to be fair I couldn't be bothered to post it as it will only be ignored anyway. I have had some positive feedback from this, not as much as a galacticast episode yet, but it's getting there, lol. Many thanks to those who have sent money to the charity, and to those who have sponsored me through http://myrednoseday.com/pjkproductions site on the Comic Relief website. I will thank you in front of the misunderstanders, as outstanding members of this group. Randolfe Wicker and Adam Clarke. But unfortunately when I ask for help in getting this Project popular, not me, by digging or whatever, even those people who did digg the story, there hasn't been much come back, maybe digg is more cliquy than this group. As for sending me jokes, recorded or otherwise, I have had one response which is a maybe. So what is so wrong with asking for talent? By asking the great and the good to be un-American, maybe a little too sensitive for the sensitive Mr Leo, when he does such good work over seas, for this I apologize humbly, maybe I should have put it this way, stop acing like a load of wet Brits and stand up to the mic, y'all!! Y HA!! BANG BANG!! As a man who has finally been taken seriously for testing for a real mental illness, Manic Depression which left me the other morning staring at about 10 boxes of over the counter pharmacuticles, thinking, maybe it's time. Then seeking help, and getting the Red Nose Day Buzz, thus distracting me slightly, you might just understand ever so slightly just how much this project means to me.

Yup. That's it, Josh. As a recovering masochist, this tactic rests particularly uneasily in my psyche. Do you see how it comes off, Paul? Marketing by insult doesn't work.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: I am so disappointed in You all.
Red Nose day is meaningless in the US. I happen to be in the UK right this
moment so I know that it's a big deal here - you can buy red noses
everywhere ("at least 60p to charity") etc. but it's a strictly British
institution and you can't expect Americans to even have heard of it.
Everyone is bombarded daily by requests for this or that donation (of time
or money), to think about this or care about that. We all have limited
personal bandwidth, and we choose the causes and institutions that are
dearest to each of us. I donate considerable time and energy to the
international school in India that I attended (as is evident from my
website). I'll probably be involved (again) with the Democrats Abroad next
year, getting out the vote. I give to Planned Parenthood even though I no
longer live in the US and it's of no possible use to me personally.
So, no matter how noble the cause, I'm all cared out. And, knowing the
caliber and characters of the people on this list, I know that the same can
be said of many or most of us: we are plenty involved and already giving far
MORE than the human or American average, in our time, our money, our
expertise, and our passion. We just happen to be giving it to other things.
So you can't expect us to leap up and take on a new charity activity just
because you ask.
And I'd agree with Josh that your insistence on the Digg aspect makes me
itch. How is helping your site get traffic going to actually help raise
funds on Red Nose day, especially when the UK media is already inundated
with coverage for it? In any case, it's not a Digg sort of thing. There are
zillions of articles out there on "how to get Dugg," and, from what I've
read, this topic doesn't strike me as one that's going to be a winner. You'd
be better off trying to get the UK media to talk about it, and you have
already had some successes there, so I suggest you go for that.

[videoblogging] Re: I am so disappointed in You all.
Paul, I think what you are doing is fabulous. I posted a message telling you that this appeal made me realize how important it was that I get my annual donation off to Jimmy Carter whom I trust 'more' than I trust comic relief. I have Jimmy Carter's last appeal on a "check-to-write-tomorrow" table in my livingroom and will certainly do so tomorrow. Don't be disillusioned by the failure of others on this list to sign on and donate. Like I said, I get dozens of fund appeals. Generally speaking, I usually prefer to give money directly (in hand if possible) to activist instead of giving money to "ANY" organization. First of all, you have to realize that "our" rich world stands by while 5 million people (most living on $1 per day) die because they simply don't have clean drinking water. I'm reminded of the observation that if a millionaire gave just one-cent to every beggar in India, he/she would have gone bankrupt without having really done anything to mitigate suffering in the world. There was a wonderful short film on The Sundance Channel this month. I don't recall the title but the film focuses on a boy in the back of a classroom whose teacher tells the class that 'today' she is going to give them the most important lesson they will ever receive in life. When she reaches his desk, she only has one "reason for life" booklet left. She tells him and the ignorant bully sitting next to him that they have "to share" the last booklet. The ignorant bully, who isn't even reading the booklet, refuses to let him see it. In frustration, he rushes out of the classroom and through the hallways of the school. In every room, students are engrossed in this booklet "The Lessons of life". Finally, he knocks in desperation on the door where the school administrators are having a meeting. His teacher answers the door. he tells her that the fellow sitting next to him in class "refuses to share" the booklet with him. "That's the most important lesson you can learn about life," the teacher replies and then closes the door in his face. It's a wonderful six-minute-long short film. Your complaint makes me think of that movie and how true it all is. People will spend thousands of dollars on gas-guzzling cars, over-priced clothing, lattes at StarBucks, etc. but few will reach into their pockets and make a $20 donation that might actually save human lives. Sad but true! Just to lift your spirits, I'm going to make a $20 donation.

Please, please, please, just read the e-mail, that's all you need to do, please try to be completely un american about this and at least give me some help on this, I don't ask for much, just that you read the f'ing e-mail. All I want is support not money, I rally should be typing this is capital letters, really. JUST DIGG ME FOR f's SAKE, make this popular, not for me, BUT FOR THE CHARITY, that's how thing usually WORK right? And send me any jokes that you feel would make people belly laugh, there is an incentive for you all. But hey, I suppose all that motivates this group is money, or toys (gadgets) or a discussion about being banned from youtube, big deal, I just expected something more from the 1000's of people here, who are selfish enough not to share their success with anyone less worthy. The best way to proceed with this argument is to stop saying hey, I never saw the e-mail and taking steps, personally if you want to, to get these posts to greater media, posting diggs and technoriaties or comments on vlogs etc. This is one of the reasons i got into vlogging in the first place and to be ignored by the "great and the Good" ha, is just not good enough. I have seen it before in this clique, a community, ha! So log as you can't hold a get together in NY, you are forgotten and ignored. This group IS made up of more people from outside the US than you think! Stop being so f'ing selfish.

[videoblogging] Re: I am so disappointed in You all.
Hey Paul, This is the first that I'm seeing the post. I didn't even know that you were sick. Besides, you know how many posts flow through the group. You also know that sometimes posts are delayed from appearing through no fault of the postee. If you posted this Friday UK that is in the early morning California PST (i.e. 2-3am) I'm not reading, I'm sleeping! Literally! Also I have to say that if I see something titled Charity Event that generally means it is something to attend and since I am on transportation lock down I might have ignored it even if I had seen it which I didn't cuz I was sleep. Titles man, descriptive titles go a long way to drawing attention. Let me read what you have proposed and we'll see if we can pass it down the line and get some reactions. P.S. If it ever comes up in Parliament I would like to propose that the UK switch to Pacific Standard Time. I realize it would be a major disruption but sacrifices have to be made to promote international unity. Or effective group communications. Yeah, the finger is waving. In a Moe Howard kind of way but lovingly none the less.
