I see what you are getting at, but my comment stands. Responsibility is not being taken.

It was a stupid risk, they said as much. Why are you insisting on self-flagellation?

They are the victims here (assuming they are telling the truth).

I don't blame people for being taken advantage of by a conman. I might advise them not to be so trusting, but I don't go around demanding they publicly take full responsibility for being the victim of a scam.

Aren't the real victims here the Kickstarter backers?

Because people who externalize tend to learn poorly.

A signifiant point of the post is to say that they learned something, and they hope others can learn from it too. Maybe the issue is you didn't read the full article?

What I feel is lacking from your response is looking inwards : did you actually read the post.

Answer : I made a huge mistake to blame people for not doing what they clearly did. This mistake has led to my defensive shit-posting.

I know it sounds obvious, but still.

Oh I definitely read it, not spelled it out but definitely not rushed it.

I just expressed my feelings.

If “responsibility is not taken”, hopefully the courts can give The Woodshed Agency some responsibility.
