      “Why” was a typo, fixed it.

      Don Quixote is a famous literary figure who creates monsters out of his own failing perception and then attacks them.

      he’s an analogy of you fabricating points I haven’t made so you have something to struggle against.

        Har har har.

        I’m honestly curious what point you think I’m responding to that you didn’t make.
        You did actually use grossly inaccurate financial data when the tax documents were publicly available.

          “I’m honestly curious what point you think I’m responding to…”

          are you? you don’t sound very curious. you haven’t asked a single question.

          “You did actually use grossly inaccurate financial data”

          your make-believe is showing.

            From your source: "After a decade of professional fund-raising, it has now amassed $400 million of cash as of March”.

            From you: “they have at least 400 million in reserves now”.

            Their financial audit, that I linked to, shows that they have nowhere near that much cash. They don’t even have that much total assets if you count their endowment, real estate, and computer hardware.

            The entire reason for my comment was that I read that number, thought “wow, that number seems preposterous”, and looked up their financial report which shows that indeed, it’s a totally bogus number detached from reality.

            You seem deeply upset that someone might not just accept your opinion at face value, and it seems to be making you respond like an asshole instead of “not responding because you don’t care”, or actually giving some sort of response.

              “You seem deeply upset”

              nope I forget you’re here until you comment again and I have to correct you all over again.

              correcting people is fun for me, so this isn’t particularly upsetting.

              “your opinion”

              not my opinion, dozens of accurate numbers from two articles, one of those many numbers in one of those articles you have picked out to focus on.

              One of the articles overestimated a budget by 100 million, four instead of three, that’s not going to bother me too much.

              you seem deeply upset by one source’s overestimate.

              “that number seems preposterous…a totally bogus number detached from reality…”

              yeah who the heck could write four instead of three?

              how could anyone make that mistake? they must be nuts!

              adding one number in hundreds of millions of dollars of asset valuation?

              how could that even happen?

              guess we’ll never know…

              “giving some sort of response…”

              you keep whining about receiving a response (desperate), but you still haven’t asked a question.

              do you know how responses work? (that was a question. see the curly thing at the end? there’s another!)

              go ahead, check your comment. not a single question, you’re just rehashing you’re earlier mistakes I have to correct all over again.

              which is fun.

              I’m down.
