Fellow Pyro Hurting! IMPORTANT!

Folks,

 

Everybody knows MinamotoKobayashi and his rocketry/shell expertise. An artist. But then he went and got himself a dose of esophageal cancer. He mentioned this offhandedly in a September 2020 post that all of us, myself included, glossed over. We could have done better, earlier.

 

"Guys, at this point here is the time for me to step in. Honestly, I no longer recognize the forum where I landed a few years ago. For some months I have perceived among users only hatred, rivalry, competition, subterfuge, selfishness, nastiness. These are flames starting from nothing, where no one has done anything wrong. In a world where most people, myself included, have lost both their jobs and their freedom due to Covid19 issues, adding as well that doctors recently diagnosed me an esophageal cancer at an advanced stage, predicting me a life expectancy from 1 to 5 years maximum, I would say that I have other much more important thoughts that are buzzing in my head currently. I proudly brought my 5 cents to this forum asking for nothing in return but a peaceful and quiet coexistence. I have seen similar degradations in other forums, and I was hoping APC would not end up like them, but apparently I was wrong. Excuse me but I have a strong desire to spend my last days in a peaceful environment, away from the chaos and evil of every day. If in here will be no longer possible to create something so simple and priceless, I will be forced to leave this forum as well, and to keep in touch with the people I care about only via PM. A beautiful crap, indeed.
Let's try to look after our compatriot, as is practicable. He's shared a ton of new knowledge in his posts and videos. A truly artistic scientist-experimenter. Who always shares his comps and methods.
And now he is in trouble, with worsening cancer. He'll kick its butt, but the process must still suck. If we can just stay on his side and help out, if possible...

When we find out things like this, we feel bad if we treated that person poorly. But anybody could be in those shoes, and some of probably are, right now. That's why pouncing on others is something I call out. Getting kicked when you are already down hurts way more. I missed that post. I would have remembered, having been diagnosed with the precursor condition, Barrett's esophagus, which was discovered by accident. Guess I'm lucky.

 

MinamotoKobayashi, if you read this and want to communicate, I have an ear for you. I wish you the best possible outcome in this bad situation.

 

Dave.

Your tutorials are one of the best and a real contribution to this forum. Every greenhorn in this hobby could learn something from your posts. I wish you all the best Minamoto and hope you get well soon.

Mina, my heart and mind are truly with you.

Cancer can be healed!

 

 

 

Like your posts and Tutos: a peaceful steady pace atmosphere, I feel you could be like that in real life.... so Please read SeaMonkey's post twice, I couldn't say it better.

You'll get through that sh..!

Haven't seen the original post, thanks for bringing this up.

 

MinamotoKobayashi, I wish you all the best, spiritual and physical strength for fighting this.

 

I never wrote much comment on the work you published, but I always admired it. The ideas you shared where very interesting.

For some months I have perceived among users only hatred, rivalry, competition, subterfuge, selfishness, nastiness. These are flames starting from nothing, where no one has done anything wrong

I noticed it too. But as you pointed out yourself, this is not an APC problem.
It's at work, in traffic, everywhere... I dont know how to handle this, I just take cover when the shooting starts ;)
