And what do you imagine is the clever scam here? More charity?

I respect your support for leveraging social media for public charity, but I doubt Pulte is the right guy. I am getting a lot of complaints, and his reaction to criticism is unfortunate. Key criticism: using charity for self-promotion & data mining at expense of other charities.

I would think it obvious to you (maybe not so much to less experienced observers) that data mining is not a thing here. And all charities do self-promotion. See Jerry Lewis.

Fair enough. The "data mining" criticism (as you note, an over-expanded use of the term) I received was more about people feeling they had to give up private information they didn't realize was a precondition of receiving charity than the idea it was a means of money-making.

Recipients of charity/money/gifts normally need to provide name, address, phone number, email, depending on the situation. You can't even win a large slot machine jackpot without giving up your personal info for taxes. Normal.

True. Also necessary to make sure the recipient is not, themselves, trying to do a scam. It's more of the p.r. side of the equation on that issue, in terms of public expectations, especially in an age where people are accustomed to being misled into giving their information.

You are never going to satisfy Mr. Adams. if you do not believe exactly as he does on any given subject then he pushes back. Its a shame really to know Dilbert is this condescending.

Scott is just a very effective advocate about topics he is passionate about. He strongly supports more charity, by whatever means achieves more charity, and sees Pulte as a template for more charity. He may be right. Either way, Scott would have made a very, very good lawyer.

As to any disputes, only the participants know the whole story. Just like every other dispute. But obviously it didn't start over nothing.

@codeofvets is as close to a modern day Saint as there is. Calling her a Grifter and stalker placed Bill among the biggest douches of our time. Doesn't mean Pulte is not doing good things but it most certainly makes me pause.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
