CCF refused D&D donations

It's not 'funny', though. Other religious-based charities might, but the main flack against D&D has always come first and foremost from Christian denominations. There's no history of animosity between us and other types. I'm sure somewhere that there's been a Jewish or Buddhist screed against D&D but if so it's a drop in the bucket compared to the stuff that's been generated by the various Christian denominations.

Rich Burlew seems to be publicizing this story, with a call to donate to a different similarly-themed children's charity.

It seems that this thread is becoming a 'religious issues' one, and although there has already been some useful and substantive discussion up to this point, (particularly on the issues about taking reports at face value vs doing additional digging for information), I think I'll close it now before someone steps over the line.

There has been a fair chance for people to air their opinions by this stage.

No. No no no! What you said was good, and I said so.

We use colored text when we want to be sure something moderation-related is seen. That doesn't mean it is something bad.
