No twisting here. I have re-posted your quotes below just so we are all on the same page. I did not miss the point of your post, which seems to be that the other poster's negative energy should be used more productively. Perhaps I'm wrong, so let me know if I've mis-interpreted.

Bringing up hate for Nike doesn't seem to fit in to this picture. What good does hate do at all? Are you saying that it is ok to hate the right companies/people? I hope not. Perhaps there is a general disdain for private wealth as both of these posts seem to allude to. Or maybe I'm way off the mark again.
Regardless, I still think this is a good thread, and I do gladly recycle, though I'm a long way from as "into it" as others may be. For the most part, it seems to be a noble cause that I will help out with, as long as it is efficient to do so (i.e. I won't recycle if we end up burning 5 gallons of gas to save 4, etc.).
