I don't understand what you all see as the problem.
Other than the above quoted admonishment to 'shut your mouth', all of the comments on this thread have been polite, calmly stated viewpoints from people with vastly different life experiences. No one has raised their voice, flown off the handle, tried to force their opinion on others, or been "un-nice" to anyone in any way.
Why should people here be discouraged from offering their opinion or asking a question about the rationale behind, and appropriateness of, anything related to quilts and quilting...donations included. We are here exactly for such discussions, are we not?
