Like, yes, giving people money towards their projects will usually mean they'll like you... Revelation?!

Are you saying common knowledge is insulting when voiced?
-
No, manipulating people with money then acting high and mighty about it is insulting.
-
The person doing the manipulating is the dev asking for money in exchange for friendship.

@notch LOL what a Dick, that George guy. -
Don't agree that Notch is being a dick here? He's right that you can manipulate people like this, but it's wrong to do so
-
Nah. We can agree that he is being a bit too honest. But then again I'd rather he's honest. And you're not a Dick :)
-
This is the thing, everyone's responded to me by saying he's being honest, which he is! If you give people money/adoration...
-
...they will probably like you. The dickhead thing for me is doing that (rather than just to help them), then turning around
-
...and basically calling them a sheep after you "made them like you". I dunno that just seems really dickish to me.

What is your point?
-
My point I guess is general disappointment that such a wonderful thing could be made by someone who can be quite deplorable
-
Again, how does that counter his claims? You are living in ad hominem land ATM. Last time, what is your point?
-
I don't agree with how he's insulting people because they like him for donating to their projects. That's it really.
-
I think his comment was because he gets attacked, and that it's easy to turn that around. That was how I took it.
-
If he meant that he's really not clear about it. Also, still a dick thing to do.

he's absolutely right though
-
Technically right yeah, but acting upon that is the sign of a dickhead.

I'm more upset at his admission of doing the shitty thing, rather than the shitty thing existing.
