How do people know to give if someone doesn't ask?
-
If you don't ask, you don't get. We were all within our rights to tell him to go fuck himself, but some of chose to help out. No matter how large or small a donation we made, we did it freely, knowing we wouldn't see anything in return, but had the opportunity to help a fellow cyclist, and forum member, who has had to deal with some shit, try and get his passion/craft back on track.
What makes for uncomfortable reading is your complete lack of compassion and lack of faith in a fellow human being. None of us were duped, we gave because we could and wanted to.
Sorry to be blunt, but there was no need for your comments, so (un)kindly, fuck off! -
"soliciting"-> asking, "exploiting" -> giving without expectation, "unethical" -> seems to be back to the asking.
It's worth also considering that not only has the ask been transparent - no false promises given, and doesn't target any individual, but many of us know BRP to some extent either online or IRL, and really we can make up our own minds whether we want to freely give him money or not. It's a nice thing, if that makes you uncomfortable maybe reconsider why.

It's not the giving that I have a problem with, it's the asking.
