honestly expressing disillusionment after investing a shitload of time and energy into something you believed in and "bailing" are two completely different things.
and frankly, if it was my call, no one would be earning $5k/post (myself included). as much of a blessing that might have been at the time, such disparity in rewards is NOT serving the site's best long-term interest.
Perhaps you were one of the ones that had posted about the 'TV's' track record I'd seen way back. Respect for having called it out, and continuing to do so.
