Will stated it much better than I can.

If you can afford a buck or two - or 20 or more, let the folks at truthout know that you appreciate Will's work and make a small - or large donation.

I sincerely hope this thread stays open. I/we are not looking to take monies from any candidate or from DU. Please do not decrease your DU or political contributions for this cause. Just give what you can to counterbalance this heinous attack on a good man.

Will,

You've been hit below the belt. Let your corner crew go to work.

13. I'm taking my daughter off life support. Truthout comes first

I can always get a cat or one of those little trained monkeys later to care for me in my old age.

14. Please stop.

Mods may not be around to lock this thread, so take it from Will himself:

PLEASE don't go howling to my boss. I'm not going to get fired or anything. That isn't the point. The point is I used to be comfortable posting here, and now I'm not, because I don't want this to affect my real work. And it sucks.

[ibegurpard]

15. I don't see why

Truthout is a worthwhile organization that could always use some more money... but I DO agree that some of this has become pretty hysterical overreaction.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

16. There isn't a place for comments on the site where one donates

I just donated. Will will simply be able to inform Truthout that they are going to see a slight surge in donations over this issue and that it is out of support for him so as to allay his boss's fears that Will exercizing his free speech right might cause his boss economic harm.

17. Locking...
