But I don't think the way he is being portrayed here is accurate.

How is it not accurate? Nothing in his emailed response showed any understanding/appreciation of the anger that was posted here. Many of us here had some legitimate concerns and he addressed none of that.
He clearly thinks he did nothing wrong in milking us for all the extra money that went well beyond just getting a place to live. When you total rent and the deposit required there was quite a bit of money left over. Lets remember he was given close to $5,000 tax free.
He could have told us why he didn't set a limit for donations. That alone doesn't make him look good in the eyes of this community.
He created the gofundme page because someone told him too. Would he have jumped off a bridge if someone told him also? Not likely!
A person who says "flame away" or "chill out" clearly doesn't give damn what what we think!
