I'm incredibly grateful for all the haters who have inadvertently helped disseminate the more important aspects of Stefan's work.

true dat

Let me see, on my own subscribed list I have at least 10 different people constantly asking for donations, all putting out formidable bodies of work. Giving $2 to each would make sense, but apparently this is not good enough for some. I have never heard GirlwritesWhat or AVTM or anyone else claim to be sad about any donations given. In fact Im sure no one has, probably the real reason for the outrage. People inherently understand what ingratitude looks like, and called it for what it was.

Stef is a smart dude and has a lot of great stuff to teach. But he also has a bunch of personality issues he is blind to. Sadly this has shown them all in the worst light.

Why are comments critical of Sted being removed?

Isn't he a libertarian? I thought libertarians upholded the right to free speech...

More and more FDR reminds me of Scientology.

How long will it take for you to also delete this comment, Stef? Hmm? Or will you let it up to "prove me wrong"?

You're pathetic, really. Your parents should have beat you up more as a kid, you insecure bald narcissistic fuck.

People were nasty on the Facebook post. Call it internet bravery.

Still, Stef could refuse the funds via paypal if it costs him more than $2 to process it and it was his choice to not sell his products in the traditional way. Maybe it's time to sell premium podcasts and start selling the books on the open market.

Selling t-shirts,mugs ect & having followers organize "money-bombs" would also help FDR.

"standing in the corner punching themselves in the face" I LOLed

Stefan talks about the low rate of donation.

Still believes that people can uphold society without taxation.

It should be proof enough that the world either isn't ready or incompatible with your dream.

Unless, of course, your dream isn't the goal, but rather the journey itself?

I've been trying to add you as a friend now simply to be able to comment on your posts and show my thanks. And of course to debate the trolls! Let me know when that is possible since you are still currently at max.

[Wayne McCracken]

I don't think anyone is going to be convinced that story is real. It's just too "construced". But you totally have the right to express your opinion and like/dislike whoever you want. I just don't think telling people to look up that clearly fraudent story is helping your cause.

[FDR Skeptic]

Seems like the top comment (60 something upvotes) asking why many good comments were deleted is now gone as well..

when we realize compassion then we can fully communicate with each other which I find always leads to an agreement.
