[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not punish the FOOD INSECURE PEOPLE because the people running the program are a**holes or used the wrong tone or whatever, am side eyeing every single person who wrote that. [/quote]

The FOOD INSECURE PEOPLE can benefit from OTHER ORGANIZATIONS that I would be donating to instead of the a**hole one.  I'm side eyeing you right back for thinking that it's ok to treat people who are GIVING YOU THINGS like garbage.[/quote] Please stick to charity galas. If you are so offended by that letter then you need to stick to organizations where you’re probably fawned over and worshipped. [/quote]

I appreciate this comment.  My take on the email was that it was direct and informative, and likely written by someone who doesn’t have either an UMC professional background or a communications team.  It seriously blows my mind that so many people are reacting to it as though it was insulting on a deeply personal level.  [/quote]

Your take is that being rude and unhelpful is necessary and effective? That's a poor take. It blows my mind that this is how your mind works. Do you have to communicate with people in your line of work?[/quote]

No, my take is that the email was straightforward, and not designed by or for upper middle class people whose fee-fees are easily primed to be insulted when their pantry clearing efforts aren’t met with praise. Do you ever get out of your insulated environment where everyone is highly educated and has access to a communications team?
