It’s not only that. Of course, as I said, I quit interacting with people when they say these sort of things. Here’s an analogy: just go to your local tennis club. You probably notice some people that were not elected by their community volunteer and do a lot of great work. And now imagine that someone walks up to them and says he or she wants to help. And after some talk, say 15 minutes words like fascism and tyranny start to fall. The person that wants to help says: “I’m not calling you Nazis, I’m saying your attitudes are dangerously close to that fascist ideology”. To a bunch of volunteers on a tennis club! Can you see where I am going? Now image if that person that really wanted to help also says he’s the professional and you are an amateur to one of the volunteers? And that person also says that “there is no positive energy coming from any of you about”?
How would that conversation go at that tennis club with all nice community members and volunteers that want to make the best out of it? Well, as you might understand that conversation would get weird quite fast. And I think the volunteers at that tennis club are not the ones that are causing the problem to be honest. I see this community as a “tennis club” if you like. I think we are way more open than other “tennis clubs” when it comes to asking members what they want. And I think the atmosphere and excitement with all these apps and app-stores, and crowdfunds from all these members is really great. Especially now we all wait for the MVP to go live. Look at all these weirdo’s (like me ;-)) that hang around on this forum every Tuesday night. It’s amazing.
Nicely put.
