They said "We'll give you $45,000 to come and speak". He said "OK" and gave it all to charity. He had no way of knowing that the people he was dealing with had questionable authority to dispose of it in that way.
At least then we'd have proper government appropriation of funds ... we'll call it the Gaiman Initiative. Give Neil Gaiman all your tax money, and he gives it to the charity of the day. Sounds like a better usage of my tax dollars, I'll say!

I dislike his works, and really hate some of his fans. I'm not sure I hate him personally.
