I feel like the author went to the effort of writing what I was too lazy to. I don't want to donate to WMF simply because I don't want to confuse their metrics into believing this current campaign is working. I've donated before, I'll donate again, but this round has been so disgustingly crass, that I want nothing to do with it.
