It seems to me that we're talking about two different ends of what I see as an arc. You're talking about the first punch, where someone is still on their feet. I'm talking about when someone's been stomped on . . . for a while. Like, they're still taking a kicking and their eyes swelled shut a long time ago.

Note that I never said anything about giving up, just that I think it's understandable that "a sea of shit" could really wear a guy down. Not everyone is cut out to stick it out. To think that everyone has it in them to "make it" if they just "keep hanging on" is pretty unrealistic, in my eyes.

Let's not forget that Phil Fish isn't exactly a saint. Dude has been known to regularly fly off the handle and sling mud at people and tell others to kill themselves. He's just as guilty as everyone else.

I'm not really familiar with the guy, honestly. I was more responding to the situation, which used Phil Fish as an example. If someone is a part of the problem, then of course it's silly to expect to be treated differently.
