Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
Why has it become socially acceptable for online funding campaigns to be made for everyone and everything? Social media is flooded with them, each one asking for thousands of dollars, and it feels excessive.
I especially cannot understand when a campaign surpasses its goal and people keep donating, rather than shifting the money to another cause -- or the organizer shutting it down.GENTLE READER:Well, greedy people who are perfectly solvent but want more, and expect to get it from acquaintances, friends and strangers alike -- that’s who. Oddly enough, they are not the arbiters of proper behavior.
We received an invitation to a local wedding, and it is clear from the timing and information on the couple’s website that most invitations were sent much earlier. We would like to attend, but my wife is concerned that there is something unseemly about not being included in the initial invite list.
