There is a difference in reserving gratitude and flippantly stating myriad difference versions of, "I'll believe it when I see it." People are giving him a hard time for making a public pledge, a public accountability for his future actions. He is not doing it for himself as much as he is for a rallying cry to other wealthy people and to spur others to try and find ways to use the funds as he sets it all up. The extreme cynicism is a bit unwarranted if you ask me. Has he made a similar pledge in the past and not performed? No. Have other billionaires made similar pledges and not performed? Not than I know of. <s>Thanks goodness for the interweb moral police! </s>
