This is a thread about being Carbon Neutral. Please post a new thread about FeedTheChildren if you want to discuss that. (for the record, I have personally already donated to that charity as well)

^And that's the bottom line. While I totally disagree with the whole "carbon offset" nonsense and I know that it's a complete and utter scam (as is "global warming"), this is a privately owned/run website and the owner(s) have every right to do as they please. You want to throw your money out the window, have at it, but I certainly support everyone's right to do what they want with their money and their website. This site has, in fact, been very helpful to me and that's what matters to me.

By God I think you are onto something--except instead of wind it could be powered by the keystrokes of all the long winded posters like myself that just won't let a dead donkey be...

Supporting cleaner, renewable power sources is what this post is about. If you want to use snide comments to attempt to slap us in the face for doing so, you are on the wrong site.

I can honestly tell you I have no idea what you just said.

I think what you are doing is a step in the right direction and if more ppl would take the initiative to help the environment we would all be alot better off.

That isn't what I was doing but maybe you have ESP and know exactly what's going on in my head. Doesn't matter. I support your right to do whatever you want with your site. If you want to tell me that I don't have a right to have an opinion and only you do, that is certainly your prerogative. But please, tell me now and I will never offer another opinion here ever again.

This was not a snide comment in the context of this conversation?
