Last question then. Humour me, would you interfere if I offered to make a donation to a Russian charity in a thread which I opened in order to sell my Decathlon? And you were making that decision prior to reading the above and you happened on the Decathlon thread and I offered no explanation in it of why I thought donating to said cause was good?

True, or at all.

Thanks for that. 1. There's a straightforward Dickensian critique of charitable giving focused on the suppressed motivations of givers. 2. There are actual and obvious questions here about whether donating/giving in this case prolongs a miserable situation, and I don't mean that as an example of some general effect of giving, I mean in this exact case. I've been doing this on this thread because really why not.

Not to do with you in particular. To do with the donation mentality. I don't like that people don't see the limitations on their actions or have a bit of modesty about the effects of their actions in real terms. Charitable actions cause dependencies, shunt or defer issues where other types of actions are required. I don't have a connection there though and you do.
Exceptionally nice.
