I think a critical eye can be a helpful viewpoint, but the rhetoric in this article is over the top to say the least (as others have pointed out). The use of the word "voyeur" is especially off color. Sure, some small percentage of givers might fit that description, but using it as a blanket description seems very inappropriate. In general I applaud efforts like Watsi so long as the hearts of the people involved are good, and they are willing to be humble and honest. We need good experimentation in all walks of life.
