I meant "appealing to others' goodwill". Thanks to Birthe for pointing this out.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Birthe Omark : I think you forgot the genetive ? others' goodwill - but then it should be 'the goodwill of others' ;-)

You're right, Birthe. There must be an apostrophe at the end of "others". Your sugeestion 'the goodwill of others' is, no doubt, more elegant.
agree Brian Young : agree, also with Birthe's remarks
