Right, I see your point! Like back when I was in so much physical pain that it was not possible for me to stand during a train ride, then giving up my seat for someone else wasn't something I could do.
I don't do cons much at all anymore. But remember back in the 90's when I decided to become a unix sysadmin, and several afpers helped out with collecting books and giving them to me? Well, today I'm working with Pink Programming to help people who want to learn programming... It's not exactly the same, but it's still paying forward.
And yeah, there are people who will twist anything to enable themself to feel like a good person without having to actually do the work. There's nothing the rest of us can do to change that.
