    If you ask a very successful person to tell their story they will recall the days in which they struggled. They will recall their triumphs, times in which the odds were against them and they were set to fail but did not. The impetus for continuous improvement is rarely continuous success.

    In fact if you look at the work of many successful woodworkers you'll find that their best work was often during times of struggle where they were finding their way.

    It would not occur to me to sell my tools because of strife on some forum. The enjoyment or accomplishment that a hobby may give has nothing to do with some guys you don't even really know.

    Remember that you do not really even know those who are making trouble for you. For all you know,a heckler could be some out of line kid.

    If you would honestly pack in a past time because of comments on a forum about said past time you are already done. Holy cow, we all need to stick to our knitting. Perhaps you should quit engaging on forums?

    The guy already apologized and explained that he was having a bad day b/c PTSD. What are you piling on for?
    It's easy when you are whole to assume everyone else is. It ain't so. If a guy with PTSD in a wheel chair wants to work wood, you could show a little compassion instead of taking cheap shots.
