Edmund actually quoted some of the questions in his post - 'In reading about this in various places the one thing that no one can really grasp is just what it is that this site wants to be and what it is that they gain from it. The focus to several, based on the comments, was that: "Askartia, as described seems to be designed with a strong leaning toward marketing and merchandise."
and/or according to one Suberbacker on Kickstarter "I could not understand if this was software or a video game or and online community... as a result I could not determine what exactly I was invited to fund and what I would in true get with it?"
Edmunds's 'claim' is there for you to see in this thread... now, the inital campaign with these questions is gone and we cannot see any resposes or any other questions... I would be curious as to what the answers were ..but again it is gone.
It is reasonable that a project that proposes to be something so new unique and never seen before would generate curiosity - as well as questions from backers as to what their pledge delivers. Asking these questions seems natural and not an attack on anybody.

I do not see how it is snarky or knee-jerky to discuss the aspects of the project which are not appealing to the poster - isnt that the point of being in a forum ...discussing different ideas and opinions? The questions on the original campaign were never answered and were interesting and could have been informative if we would have seen any reply.
Ironically, assuming it is some personality issue seems knee-jerky and doesn't contribute to the discussion of the aspects mentioned for good or bad.
If I was going to pledge money to a campaign I would like to know what all it entailed. Isn't that what this thread is for ?
