I'm sorry for making you feel that way, but from the position of a dev, it's exhausting dealing with entitled people. Indie devs from all areas often receive rude comments from people who think they can guilt or bully devs into making what they want.

The person in this post and I already apologized to each other. However in the future if another person shows a lack of respect/consideration, I want to continue to convey how I feel about this stressful position without having to do fake customer service pleasantries to someone who was rude to me first.

You say learn decorum, but consider that the dev isn't in a position to stand up for themselves (customer service pleasantries) but as their close friend, the least I can do is stick up for them and say what a good chunk of devs are thinking. If I was in her position, I wouldn't be able to "clap back" either. But imagine you see your friend being treated awfully at their customer service job. That's how I feel about this and I always will.

You might leave this reply still thinking, "Well, you still didn't have to be so rude/aggressive," and that's fine, it just means you can't understand my perspective. It's fine if you want to blame me, but I have absolutely nothing to do with Salvus Aries, so direct your distaste to me instead of this project. It makes less sense to me that you'd say you regret supporting the project and then compliment the actual dev for their reply.
