I just thought it was rather amusing that someone would look down on people publicly giving to charity then publicly stating they give to charity!
I dunno, for me its partly the whole £3 thing that everyone seems to be doing. Especially when some people that I know that have done it spent more than that buying bags of ice from the supermarket. It seems - to me - to be very "look at me, I gave to charity, I'm saving the world" and I don't see a one off £3 donation as so horrendously noble that it needs shouting about on the internet.
I get the whole getting more people to do it thing but I don't see 'charity coz its fashionable' as a positive thing. I also know people who donate silently and whose donations equate to quite a lot of people donating £3 publicly and who do so on a monthly basis, not a one off coz it's fashionable basis.
If you think that shaming people into making charitable donations is a positive thing there's no hope for you.
