Are you sure about that?
Because I think the sarik is talking about the whole idea itself, which according to what I understand from this complaint is
- 'Donate' money for the 'Give kids a random present'
- Blog author invests time to handle the flow of money, orders toys and selects/distributes to kids
What saurik is saying is that the first step, 'Donate amount of $currency to send a random toy of roughly the same value to a 3rd party' is pretty much a sale. The author itself is comparing his idea at one point with Amazon, purchasing gifts for someone else.
I'm sympathetic here and don't like the outcome, but I think your comment is incorrect: Saurik didn't confuse different things here. We might argue about whether these 'donations' should be considered sales, but - you misunderstood the argument, I think.
