It is normal and expected, for example, for the Board of Directors on a
non-profit to also donate to that non-profit. It shows support. So I
don't see anything out of line here.
However, giving, and how often, and how much is ultimately up to the
individual. No one here is truly in a position to guess how much any
other person can give at any particular time.
So my feeling is and has been that yes, it is a good and valid
suggestion to make. Whether, and how to implement said suggestion is up
to each individual.
I think the problems come when someone suggests something, and someone
else takes it as a command. In reality, no one here has the ability to
make commands or demands of anyone else. We pull in one direction, or
we don't. All, many, some... or none of us.
