User blog comment:Jkphantom9/Shane Newville: "An Open Letter to All Who Treasured Monty Oum"/@comment-26397825-20160513004857

I'm going to stay out of this one, simply because I've been there. I've written a letter like this, and I've looked back at it a couple of years after the fact and thought to myself "Oh my fucking god, what was I thinking".

It's too soon after the fact, while he's still angry and upset. His emotions cloud his thinking. I'm not saying he's wrong, nor am I saying he's right. I'm saying the letter is too emotional, and while it felt good to write it out now he may turn around after he's had time to work through everything (however long that may be) and say "What was I thinking?"

So I'm staying out of this particular letter simply because I know the story - not his story, but the emotions behind it, the feeling that you have to say something, anything, and how you can lash out at pople while doing so. And personal experience has taught me that after everything has been said and done, after everything has calmed down and you've worked through the emotions and problems, a serious look at the letter leaves you thinking 'What the hell?".
