This is pointing out something that seems to be deeply human, it's not intended as a personal dig, because I think I'd be in the same boat:

It's interesting, not unexpected and not un-understandable, that your opinion started changing as the dollar value decreased. I greatly dislike what this says about the effect of money on the human psyche. It's as old as time, but this hack hasn't been patched and I don't think it can be: Humans will sell their souls for a price.

I forgive you for your lapse in judgement. You are human after all - not intended as an insult ;)

> I forgive you for your lapse in judgement.

I "don't forgive you" for considering this a lapse in judgment, because you still have some things to learn. (I'm kidding of course. All of this framing is rather silly.)

beej was doing what was best for them at the time. There were no victims. beej sold a service to an enterprise until it didn't make sense anymore.

Moralizing something that happened 20 years ago is wild. It literally does not matter. beej didn't kill anyone, didn't ruin their self esteem, didn't steal. This is not "soul selling".

Money isn't evil. Working for money and selling for money are not evil. You're going to have to do a whole lot more to meet that threshold for most people.

We should stop casting stones at people unless they're really assholes. This is nothing.
