Joe Clark finds me patronising

Joe Clark is using micro­pat­ron­age to sup­port the fund­ing of a research pro­ject. Micro­pat­ron­age is get­ting lots of small dona­tions from many people. If you par­ti­cip­ate you will not be fund­ing the Open and Closed Pro­ject, but sup­port­ing Joe as he tries to raise the money some $7 mil­lion dol­lars cana­dian for the life of the pro­ject (or at least CA$400,000 for the first year).

I par­ti­cip­ated, not because I am friends with Joe. From what I know about Joe, if we phys­ic­ally meet, viol­ence (of a verbal nature) is the most likely out­come. But because I believe in what the Open and Closed Pro­ject is try­ing to do, write stand­ards for cap­tion­ing, audio descrip­tion, sub­titling, and dub­bing. And know that Joe is pas­sion­ate about the cause and is the best per­son for the task.
