Not strictly a charity shop, but I bought a very, very old large bible that was out of a church for £10 at a boot sale. Gold edging, clasps, incredible condition for something that was a few hundred years old. I sold it online to someone in America for £950. Not a bad days work at all. Cost about 60 quid to ship the bloody thing. Buyer paid.
Do you like boot sales / thrift sales / second hand sales?

why do some people, despite knowing it is wiser to just stay calm and hold strategic silence than just keep going on and on and on and in the process put everyone off in the name of "defending self", i mean at what point the collective peace, the greater good of the place/home becomes less important than their ego/self esteem?

I think that for some people 'self' trumps all, and if that becomes threatened (or perceived to be) than all bets are off. For some, there may never come a place where anything is more important.
How much do you care what others think of you/ how they perceive you?

very little. been like this, all my life. for i can show countless examples that truth eventually comes out and things like perceptions, allegations and mud eventually fall of like the dry clay under the rain.
can anyone not write, share and appreciate what they want and not get bombarded with reminders that you must do it to "improve"? does it have to be a must that one should only critique and not simply appreciate something they like and say what they have to say and not be judged as back patters?
