I don't think I've made fun of him as much as i've made fun of goons for making poor investments in similar situations in the past. This guy is probably smarter than doobie, but its still a dangerous situation hes throwing money into. And doobies is going to be impossible to not compare any small time food project on kickstarter brought up by goons. Also whatever happened to that Jose guy that people gave money to, to open a hotdog cart in like guatemala?

Gimme a sec. just depart the thread dude, there's nothing you can say that's gonna change peoples' minds that either you 1) erroneously believe you've got a good shot at success with this, not to mention the effect it'll have on your relationship 2) erroneously posted this thread in GBS in hopes of raising pitybux by the virtue of being a "fellow goon" as some kind of tribal appeal If you don't care about either of these viewpoints, there's no point trying to change anyone's mind when you don't have enough information to convince anyone you haven't made a huge loving mistake in either case. By all means, go do what you want, quit getting defensive and cut your losses. If you're gonna do it, loving do it, stop endlessly justifying your decision because we all know it's based on feelings and not data, preparation, or significant relevant experience.

First up, I have definitely brushed off criticism from posters who were offering sound and helpful feedback. I'm sorry about that, this has been an experience that I should have expected but underestimated, and some of this got to me despite my best efforts before any of the current posters arrived. Next, you aren't wrong about the holes in our plan. Someone said something about owning my decisions like a man; well yes. We are impatiently rushing a schedule, and no one is forcing us to do that besides some minor circumstances unrelated to this thread. I recognize that you all have a right to an opinion about our business plan the moment I post asking for money, and I've tried to do my best not to tell anyone not to have that opinion. You can think were greedy entitled impatient idiots, hell you might be right, but the point isn't whether you'd do this, or whether you think I should have never gotten to this point in the first place. I was dismissive because we were already here, not because I thought your process seemed too hard or overly conservative. You are right that we are rushing into this, that our plan is fraught with risks and potential disasters. I tried to argue this by shouting back the measures we've taken to try and mitigate those risks, but it's important that I acknowledge that I do share your concerns. I know the goon in a well story quite well, and I'm aware that I'm the goon and that I pissed off the guys with the rope. I just wanted to be clear that I don't want any rope, and while I may have tried to be too heavy with the marketing bravado to admit it initially, I'm perfectly aware of the chances of escaping this well through the bottom. If you don't wanna support that kind of foolhardy overconfidence, I do not begrudge you that. We have a chance, and none of you are wrong that it could be a better chance, I'm sorry I dismissed that idea. But overconfidence or not, were already doing this for the summer, and perhaps questioning that commitment led me to be kind of a shitpostin dickweasel

If anything, his backers are proof he will be paid whether or not he creates a product. Instant success.
