First of all, provincial Polish ruminations about supernatural 
reincarnations as seemingly lesser animals or insects as punishment for 
not donating to Linux is pure hick-town ignorance.

Who do you imagine I will stand in final judgment before?  Maybe some type 
of ancient Polish oak tree God or an infernal, all powerful wolf/human 
hybrid or something?

There is absolutely no reasonable reason for anyone to donate to a Linux 
developer of any type, whether it be a distro, program, etc..., unless 
they just wish to waste their money.

*Especially* not the ones who beg for your nickels and dimes like a common 
street urchin drug addict.

It they enjoy what they do and want to do it, let them proceed as they 
will.  If they find they need to transfer some of the monetary debt that 
is required of them to do something no one asked them to do in the first 
place, let them fuck right on off.
