I made one post to RL and got banned by Dunkle the Soup Nazi. So no love lost here. Checking PP showed it's not uncommon (being banned), so I guess I have some company in the No Soup For You category.
Interesting, that Dunkle also wants to be Mother Teresa of Haiti and save them from themselves, and started the Rennwish charity.
I noticed one odd thing about that though -- the Rennwish Headquarters is located in Naples, FL. But he lives in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I google the address and see that it is a Beachfront condo. Pretty nice. But why would a guy living in Portsmouth, New Hampshire declare a beachfront condo in Naples, FL as the headquarters for his personal charity? Unless he wanted to expense the cost of the "headquarters" from the donations to the charity. So next I find a copy of his IRS Form 990 filed November 15, 2010.
Go here to see it yourself:

For 2009, it takes in $26,976, and has $7,163 in assets ($34,139 total).
Of which $17,215 helps Haiti, $580 is spent on "Professional fees and other payments to independent contractors",
and what's this? --> $12,215 is spent on "Occupancy, rent, utilities, and maintenance". $3,676 is left.
So it looks to me like Rennwish is paying for his wintertime beachfront condo in Naples (how opposite of Haiti can that possibly be?).
If that's not the case, I'd love to hear his explanation.
Certainly it doesn't appear that 100% of every dollar is going to Haiti as he says it does.
Maybe he's not Mother Teresa, more like P.T. Barnum.
