On one hand I don't blame TD for getting angry and turning his back on the AH community as far as this goes.
On the other hand, I believe that TD should just 'suck it up' and move on.
I'm not trying to be rude, and believe me I understand that as a hobby, TD wasn't looking at making big profits (if any at all) from the AH community but he needs to understand that in doing so, he was spreading around good word of mouth and advertising his company. I've had my hands in running businesses in the past and I've dealt with my fair share of complaints and ignorance (and the two usually go hand in hand) but turning my back to an entire community that is willing to purchase my products.. well that would just be economical suicide on any company's behalf!
IIRC TD does do a lot of business for commercial clients so this decision may not affect him financially that much, but if he wants to try to continue to get a part in the consumer marketplace, then this kind of behavior will severely limit his potential.
TD, you've been a great contributor to the Aces High community. Don't let the ignorance of a few people dissuade you from doing what you like.
