Yes it is a good thing he did with that water project.
But it doesn't automatically exclude.....or include.....him as an elitist as far as character goes.
Well that's the nature of name-calling. His charitable work doesn't include or exclude him being any number of things. But the name-calling "elitist" word came up, and now all of a sudden you're deciding that's neither a proven or disproven thing. Same if we called him a different name. In other words, it's completely and totally moot. (And "elitist" is code anyway.)
So if I say (and this is completely made up and not real) RR is a terrible gossip, yeah someone can say his posts don't prove it or disprove it. So the name-calling just hangs there in the air, when it's actually not based on anything real and is simply someone's negative opinion motivated by an ad hominem dismissal of the guy's character.
So does his charity answer the question "is he an elitist"? Actually there is no such question. That was just some mud thrown. There are no questions left to answer when it comes to that...in fact, there is no real question in the first place. Just, as I said, an ad hominem attack.
