Hey now, that's not a fair narrative of what this is about. It's not just another run if the mill gift certificate promo here.
And we come to forums to talk bikes and Rivendell is quite the story.
If you read through, even some detractors wish Rivendell well but Rivendell in the end a business and in the public domain people have every right to question their ways and even stop correspondence with them.
There's nothing healthy in suppressing what is definitely true either, no matter how hard it may be for some to read.
Rivendell lost a lot of faith when they asked for money the first time, people have every right to question it when they do it again.
If one were really wanting to help Rivendell you wouldn't go to a forum and ask why people are questioning them, you would tell Rivendell that obviously that their asking for money is having a big negative effect and you would give them advice on other avenues to pursue.
Again, if you read the thread more than one person had done just that.
You can't downplay it, Rivendell is in a mess and it's perfectly fine if we discuss. Even better when we can be humorous about it. I'm pro mechanical pencil by the way.
