Default Re: Send a message to Kevin Everett

Clark, I'm trying to figure out where your logic breaks down if you apply it to say - a woman getting mugged on a crowded street.

Lots of other worse things happening in the world? - check

Many others around who also know about it? - check

Random element that caused you to know about it? - check

The only argument I can think of is that stopping a mugging is a lot better than just making someone feel better with a nice email. But philosophically I don't think the level of niceness/impact of the deed should come into play. I guess another argument could be that 1000s are already emailing this guy. But if everyone took your attitude, that wouldn't be the case.

Thoughts?
