Not a great sign when people outside the creation process have to analyze old posts word by word, like they've been written by Shakespeare.
Wouldn't it have been better for the dev to post something at all instead of ignoring the people that pay him in order to create? Why should people have to take a guess in the first place?
If payments are monthly, posting monthly is a must. Patreon should automatically block payments if nothing's been written in more than a month.
Unless being totally incapacitated (death, paralysis, recruited in a war etc.), I've never in my life seen a good escuse for not posting anything at all in the span of a month or not having the time to pause Patreon payments.
Patreon is not a philantropy association. Nowhere in the real - nonvirtual world would this kind of behaviour be accepted, let alone encouraged, like I've seen so many times on this site. Who are the employers that pay you monthly and wait half a year for you to send them an email?
The community (both players and devs) has nothing to gain in the long run. What progress would one expect in a society that runs mostly on social care?
While I've seen plenty of worse offenders, I won't be giving this one a free pass. It's easy to lose trust and very hard to reestablish it.
