Could it be that the message flew right over your head too since you're not the one in the arena facing the music? Perhaps you have forgotten that you're on the sideline yourself. Cheer as much as you want, but don't come in here pretending you know what's happening behind closed doors more than others do.
If you read the post more carefully you'd notice I never said I did
It's the people crying "ttll is like Gumdrop a pure scammer", that claim to know what's happening. And since they don't acknowledge the key factual difference of paused Patreon for
several months...it's erroneous and incredibly self-conceited
If we're just throwing around grossly out of context quotes to suit our arguments, I'll play devil's advocate:
"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body; it calls attention to the development of an unhealthy state of things. If it is heeded in time, danger may be averted; if it is suppressed, a fatal distemper may develop." - Winston Churchill
Lmao.
True Churchill would have never used the quote you wrote to describe the haters here. Real criticism is valuable insight that you provide to the receiver, with the goal of
improving a part of their life. Slandering someone as a con (when the evidence disproves the notion) or constant badgering of "you're taking too long", only provide mental anguish for the recipient. Most importantly where the motivation behind the comments is to make the hater feel better about their inadequacies by bringing others down. Definitely unlike true criticism, where the goal is to lift someone up by showing where and how they can improve. This is also why well-intentioned criticism is very descriptive and specific.
Lol the "Man in the Arena" was defo not out of context. As a matter of fact this thread desperately needed this quote to provide much needed context
It should be used a lot more often to remind people in this cynical modern world of outrage mobs that you shouldn't listen to haters and bend to their will and allow them to bring you down. Obviously with the key differentiation between them and genuine criticism I laid out above.
