Moral positioning and consumer gluttony aside the irony of the situation is that the wishlist and the wish for a world without wishlists are just that: desires. Nobody's desire takes priority and it was never my intention to imply as such.
I find it alarming that many people who commented on the post in question didn't really read much meaning out of what I'd put forth. They'd merely skimmed and replied in defense of what they felt accused for. I realize that the tone was overly simplistic in the end and probably was the cause of that. Again, that wasn't my intention. It was however alarming and even a little hurtful that some people decide that it's time to get in contact with me only when they want to lay down smack. I'm really glad to be here for your abuse. Really.
That doesn't mean that I'm pulling my punches. I'm not going to give alms in public here but I'm personally taking measures to make the holiday meaningful and personally spiritual experienece. I'm really sorry I didn't properly share that sentiment with everyone.
