really didn't appreciate that last paragraph

Now, it’s very easy for me, someone who is not building a political action campaign around this topic, to tell someone like Scott that he needs to do better this time. But I’m going to do it anyway. I want this to work. I want the needle to move faster towards preservation of our gaming culture and towards the fulfillment of the copyright bargain with the public. So, please, let this go better this time around.

Ross devoted a year of his life (so far) to making this thing happen, purely out of his own passion for games. He gave it his all and the thing almost failed due to factors outside of Ross's control. And then you want to turn around and tell him "that wasn't good enough, do better next time" while sitting on your ass writing your shitty little tech articles for your shitty tech blog? dude even acknowledges how cowardly it sounds, and then proceeds to say it anyway. fuck all the way off.

Completely agreed. Nothing was added by this blog post, for anyone who wasn't following it, but it was a decent enough summary. Then that last paragraph comes out of left field.

Ross has championed this for all our benefit, at great personal cost.
