Stan can't be responsible for problems and business partners situations really to expect that would not be fair
Someone who expects every lead to materialize and every third party to deliver on its promises clearly has no experience with startups. That isn't how things work in business. You're lucky if 1 in 10 of these things ever develops. Kudos to Stan and the team for continuing to keep us in the loop.
Here is my take on it. Everybody here seems to be so intent on hearing the latest news and grilling the inner development team and inner consulting circle about what's next and why isn't this happening and when is this going to happen and why aren't we doing this.
Then when they try to include members in the loop or help with decision making process or getting your assistance with various things, I see people complain.
It must be a really difficult position for them to be in, and I do not envy them.
If you truly care about the project and where we're going, you don't have to agree with everything but I would say that people should really strive to bring value and positivity and assist however they can in making that dream come true.
Well said. I'm sure Stan and others have rhino skin and will continue to use humor, reason and positivity to inspire, inform and entertain us all. For other businesses seeking to leverage the enormous value in the forum, well they can take the best and leave the rest. It is for us as a community to try to set high standards for ourselves across every aspect of our communications and expression.
If every individual makes a genuine effort to be courteous, open-minded, supportive, patient, positive, forgiving, generous, constructively critical, honest, creative, analytical, truth-valuing and a million other inspirational things, then the strength, depth, quality and value of this community will continue to grow. It's up to us.
