Your questions have been answered elsewhere in other threads on this topic so the information is readily available for you to find.

Your points are taken but it is not going to change the here and now of how the essay is being distributed.
I agree. He was under no obligation to publicly reveal what he chooses to do with the proceeds. But he DID make a public statement. And a political one at that, while at the same time attempting to say that he was writing it to 'provoke a constructive debate'.

And I would love to be pointed in the direction of the 'answers to my questions' The only thing I could find was a post I believe from you where it was made clear that he did not want anyone to think he would be profiteering off of this tragedy.

That again, is quite different than making a political statement, by sending the funds to a political organization instead of a charity.
