It does. If you've never donated to Wikipedia, then saying you'll never donate means nothing, as you weren't likely to start anyway. It would have all the weight of a vegan telling us they're going to start boycotting a local steakhouse.

Me donating or not donating does not make Wikipedia more or less political.

It's so dumb that I have to explicitly state this, but apparently is necessary.

But it does mean that your previous statement doesn't mean anything.

It's like me pledging to stop donating to the Urbandale High School Band Program. I've never donated before, and I never planned to anyway, so why even make the statement?
