From what I've been able to gather over the years, Mike Rowe's a pretty thoughtful guy and I wouldn't classify him as a DB. I thought his explanation was cogent - his main argument was that people shouldn't be pressured into participating, which I agree with.
For the record, I'm pro-ice bucket challenge. It's been a great campaign and I have used it as a way to introduce my three-year-old son to the idea of giving back and charity, and he's asked a lot of questions about these matters (as three-year-olds do).
So yeah, it's a good thing overall, but a person should be allowed to not participate without criticism if that's his or her choice.
