I found this at the top of my new replies list this morning, I had mixed feelings reading the recent replies, a few empathized with the guy, most others reinforce their hate. Something is clear, some fellows here are elitist in the sense they do not have any shame to show their hard feeling against someone that does not share the same opinion, that is by definition discrimination, lack of tolerance and disrespect. America is made of the opposite, it is a great mixture of cultures and talents. This hidden corner of the world is not the same with this lack of openness, and excessive zeal for the wrong reasons. The guy did a mistake and he did it in the wrongest way possible, so what, let's be it, forgive him and move on.
I know you're not directing your comment only to me but I am in that group that you're talking about.
This is more of a statement example.
Like others have mentioned the letter was just emotionally driven and had gross overexaggerations. It also mentioned "us" as if he's speaking on behalf of the rest of the community.
There was poor logic in his argument.
If he had thought it out and made a more logical argument without the aim to hurt Bro's reputation it would probably have been taken better by the community.
"This is an open letter regarding the change in the rules requiring entrants in future bro sales to have 100 posts on GH.
I think that this is unfair for the following reasons:
1) There are other communities of equal value to the hobby. Saying that the discussions had on /r/MK are of less value than those of GH for the hobby is insulting. A big portion of the posts are done in Off-topic on GH where members can farm post count anyway while a lot of thediscussion on /r/MK is directly related to keyboards.
2) The required post count is arbitrary as there's no guarantee the posts will generate relevant content. As I mentioned earlier, the posts can be done in unrelated sections of GH.
For these reasons I think that Bro is not making a valuable change in the community through his new rules and they should be changed to either accept similar contributions in other communities relating to this hobby or abolosihed altogether."
See how different that could have been written?
I don't even think that OP mentioned the change in the rule and just went on to say that Bro let down everyone and is just pandering to elites.
Yea, okay.
