metronegativeon I Just Gave Up $4000 Per Month to Keep My Freedom of Speech

I am having trouble phrasing it but.... a long time ago I had the opportunity to make lots of money through a popular Facebook game I created. OfferPal was interested in having me sell credit card leads. I didn't like the idea of irresponsible younger people signing up for credit cards and giving their personal information out and accumulating debt just to get more XP in my game so.... I declined. This guy did that but then took the high ground and reversed. Not because he didn't like selling leads but because he valued his freedom of expression more.
