Just thinking aloud about the often repeated evangelical "not homophobic because I'm not scared " - I wonder if donating to gay cure organisations is thus not discrimination but simply altruism to cure people.

Lays it all out quite clearly.
You might want to go and read that Oatmeal comic again dude.
Nice one.
I want to be wrong on this. Fewer bigots is always good.

In my estimation you are wrong on this. I've searched and searched and can find no actual evidence of bigotry. Just zealous forum SJW bitch-hunting.
why do decent engineers like Keely and others mentioned near the beginning even bother working with him in a collaborative way.
he by his own words is not an engineer at best a tinkerer.
seems if he was the Judas the internet has made him. I would not want my company to be associated and if he asked me for help on a circuit I would of told him no and perhaps more if the stories are all real.
just an observation, I really do not want to be championing someone I have no real interest in but also dislike the way at times people are shredded by internet trolls.
A quick trip to TGP suggests that the (massive) US market is incredibly forgiving of even the dodgiest characters. You can only really decide for yourself --- the evidence is that "the market" doesn't really care enough about this kind of thing for it to stop it.
but engineers from my experience are a different breed a product we distribute when it was launched 6 years ago several companies jumped in and cloned the control board which at the time the product was as close to a game changer as you can get including the gen1 mistakes and still 6 years down the road its like daggers at trade shows from our guys even though they have pushed on through 4 generations of product and are the market leader.
Even now the Chinese are still cloning the g1 circuit complete with mistake rather than reverse the new G4 circuit and each new product meets massive disdain and a good amount of ridicule.
maybe the pedal industry is completely different but it struck me as strange as Keely etc have built their own following and without really knowing seem to be well enough respected for what they do.
anyway don't want to dwell on something forever.
Couple things i noticed:-
1. From watching this it seems obvious JHS Josh doesn't really know what he's doing and uses people around him to get what he wants, he mentions this quite a few times throughout the episode
2. Stating you want to make a pedal/pedals that sound horrible doesn't work for me......??! I think he was trying to be funny but i feel he really made himself look a bit amateur and that their pedals are truly thrown together with no real experience behind, no wonder JHS keep doing updates of their pedals every year, think they're all on v4's now. Get it right the first time!
Just don't like the 'he's a bigot/homophobe' smear angle, because there is no evidence. Present evidence or silence your weary minds.
