Seems like exactly the right place to be having this discussion. I am willing to concede that I could have approached this topic with greater empathy and may be entirely wrong, but nonetheless there's an important conversation to be had. Personally I believe these type of requests should be limited to registered charities that benefit the many and not the few. I can't help but think that a number of people have donated after reading about Scott's struggles with mental health and that Mind would have been a more appropriate beneficiary. Lastly maybe BRP would benefit from having a fully-costed business plan appraised by a bank, having conceded that business acumen lets him down.
In these dark, dark times of under-resourced services and finite availability of charitable donations there are surely more deserving recipients of your money, than a mans business.
