I actually regret this paragraph for the opposite reason: the risk it came across as a veiled side-swipe, or (even worse) someone might take me to be offering gratuitous commentary on their private life. (I have disclaimed accordingly).
Pablo has interpreted me correctly. I agree donations etc. are different from the others, but I aver they are similar in that they undermine ‘corporate professional’ type norms that larger EA groups are well-advised to adopt, if not to the same degree (FWIW, I think voluntary overtime is at least slightly worrisome for similar reasons).

And what evidence is there that donations undermine professionalism?
