I’ve been here for a while, and while I often don’t like how he writes when criticizing others, Necere is actually very smart and a pioneer of the field. He does come off as blunt and very direct, almost aggressively, a lot of times. Kind of reminds me of my old man, who speaks his mind and doesn’t give a crap whose toes he steps on. Not exactly about what he’s saying, but how he says it kind of thing.
Anyways, he also does have a good point on the focus of the patent and it would be interesting to me to read an actual discussion of the matter. Especially since they have more experience than most peeps here. Last month was a crap fest thread focusing on the smaller guys infringing on original creators rights and if anything should be done about it. This thread, while not intentionally created to, is now in the opposite direction on whether someone could potentially be overbearing in their own interests to the detriment of the community. And to clarify, there hasn’t been what I would consider any real evidence to support that.
I’ve never interacted here with Josh, but from all I’ve seen he’s a great guy that helps several members here and does deliver an awesome product. My only thing with him is he is almost too polite and maybe a bit thin skinned. Ive noticed he tries to avoid issues with those he may or may not agree with.

“nothing has been gained from it. You don't act as my civil servant, and the issues you're pressing aren't why I visit this site or something I care about. I don't care if you want "answers".”
You may not, but there are several creators here that could learn from this. Not just in this instance, but many others that have been brought up over time. I do agree it could have been handled a bit better, but this is a valid concern with both guys already in the market and those that are trying to get into it.
