No one said anything not assisting. I think Scott and I both agree this is a tragedy and should be opposed. But we also would rather the people trying to help (again, not blaming you) would just sell us on the merits of the case instead of pushing our buttons like con artists.

He should fight. But I think it's dirty pool (not by you) to put up a picture of him crying about some unrelated matter to tug at everyone's heartstrings. The tragedy's there without the cheap button-pushing. It's like putting up pictures of cute babies or smiling kids or pretty girls while the voice over tells you to vote for candidate X. If candidate X is so great, let her advertise on her merits without trying to play games with our hearts.

It's funny, but I resent someone trying to manipulate me in a good cause even more than I would for a bad one.
