>>7558390To be honest, we barely have a history, but I do get the solid impression that he really dislikes me.
We had one negative interaction several years ago. One. It was stupid.
Since every interaction we have had was public, I don't mind talking about it.
I was in the ACBA facebook group, Boog made a post about some guy who wrote a blog post criticizing the group, mildly, and the guy linked that blog post to other groups.
I told him that I felt he overreacted and that all he really accomplished was giving the guy visibility, since it was a blog with less than one post per year and nobody cared what the guy said anyway. He was a nobody. I also said the group would do better by not reacting so badly to criticism, because it made them look bad when they do that.
The entire exchange was civil. I was banned and blocked from the group very shortly after that.
Probably doesn't help if people are telling him their stuff sucks next to mine. That'd piss anyone off, but he shouldn't reasonably hold that against me.
>>7557111The thing is, I have been ramping production.
I've already made in less than 5 months more than 70% the volume of what I made all of last year. Last year I made more than 3x as much stuff as I did the year before. I've also repeatedly tried training people and they just can't get up to par in any reasonable amount of time and I don't want to pay someone to practice for half a year plus while I have to take time out of making stuff to tutor them, or sell stuff that isn't as good as what I make mixed in with what I make personally.
I'm also actively in the process of getting one piece set for mass production.
