I sent a kindly worded mailer back to the EFF stating my long-standing support and how I was concerned about their chosen tactic and abuse of the facts. I made it clear that my donation and public support was at stake. They blew me off and I haven't given them money since.
Every time they send me something asking for money, I send a kindly worded email back summarizing the situation, which they also do not respond to, but still ask me for money.
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I'm not surprised.
