Mods.  Can we have downvoting for rude responses?

I hope not.  Don't let a few people stop you from contributing here. 

I concur with the above replies. Even if you opted not to respond to criticisms (or even to questions), you could at least continue to post product announcements and updates. Simply put in your signature (or append every post) with a simple message that you no longer post replies, just to reduce the chances of anyone saying "you never respond to posts".

At least try that for a couple of months and see if it works for you or not. I can appreciate that criticism of anything a person takes time to produce (even if it happens to be shoddy to others) can be demotivating or worse, but I'm sure even some of the very poor addons some devs have expected us to pay for still took a lot of time to create, even if many of us will have considered them poor or a rip-off. Not that I'm excusing that part of the market, but I bet the percentage of simmers who could produce even that level of addon without having to learn new skills is very small.

I play (ice) hockey, and if some of the fans I've heard criticise players' abilities or efforts actually tried to learn to play, they'd have a rude awakening!. I feel the same would apply to most aspects of software development.😊
