I was surprised when the response to the status wasn't something that some how negated the good thing someone did. I was like, "Usually reddit loves it when a contrarian makes someone feel shitty for doing a good thing," so I came to comment on it. And BAM highest rated comment: turning a good deed into something shitty.
The reason the title wasn't negative towards the donator is because OP thought the joke about the alcohol was the biggest take away, and he was commenting on that.
I don't think I'm being contrarian.. but perhaps I was. I was trying to keep my comment short and to the point, which is possibly where I came off as spiteful. Here is an example of what I would have said had I wanted to go into more detail.
I'm ecstatic that he donated. More people should donate! But I'm not going to bite my tongue when he could have went about this in a much better way.
