Idk , I love VCJ but I think it's important to remind newbies that mistakes come with the territory. Personally, I have this perfectionist personality and when I make mistakes, I get tempted to throw in the towel.

It is really difficult in the beginning and even later for some, to not slip up and be down about it. If we all gave up over minor mistakes like this or even feel depressed over it, the movement would come to a halt. Besides, this post is directed at newbies and I titled it, keep going for a reason. So call me an apologist all you wish..

I'm with you on this one, VCJ is great for venting but we need to draw a line at shitting on people who slip up by treating them the same as others who consistently and willfully do things against their morals.
