John:
First, why would this post piss people off? It's all in the interpretation, isn't it?
You could choose to view it as Steve giving information to his readers and nothing more. I seriously doubt he has a motive for more money from this, although that would probably be a natural effect simply from his status with his supporters. I tend to believe, and I'm sure I read it here somewhere, that Steve makes more than enough money to comfortably support himself, his family, and still do tons of good work. I have a very hard time believing he posted this for his own benefit. |
