The reason this forum exists is to have frank discussions about what we like, what we love, and what we think should be improved before with throw our money at them. Unfortunately the individual you are referencing has repeatedly shown us that he has tolerance only for abject praise. He received exactly that in large measure on this site the vast majority of the time. But I have no predilection to censor my opinions to please anyone in exchange for updates or information that should be offered up willfully and plentifully by the head of a company seeking our commerce.
One would think that an open idea exchange of what this narrow customer base wants and expects in exchange for our dollar votes to make a company popular and successful would be EXACTLY what any company head would gleefully seek. But the individual you are referencing here has shown no appetite for anything even approaching even the most benign constructive criticism on these pages. And I, for one, have never read any critique written here regarding his work that wasn’t offered respectfully and humbly, and yet anyone brave enough to offer this seldom received anything other than scorn and offense.
In short, if blind worship with no opportunity for criticism is what is required to coax this gentleman back to our community, that is simply too high a price to pay in my opinion. Others may disagree and decide that surrendering their truthful voice is somehow worth it, but I’d be willing to bet most would support my position on this. But I’ve been wrong before. Seldom, but it has happened (as difficult as I know that is to believe)
Cheers,
QGF
