We're not kids, and we know we're not living in an ideal world. We all make mistakes, we say and do stupid things. Should we be punished for the first lie/mistake we make, or only when we lie/make mistakes most of the time?
In the last two years, I've paid less than 20 or 30 dollars for Instapaper, and every single penny was worth it (I can't emphasize enough). It was the first "mistake" I remember that Marco's made running Instapaper (which was for the longest time, a one-man business). If he makes 5 or 10 more mistakes, I'll move to a competitor. But punishing him for just one tiny overreaction? That's not reasonable IMO (considering that I don't expect to use products made by übermen (super-humans), and would be quite thankful if others didn't expect the same thing from me). I'll accept his apology (and understand his line of reasoning) and move on. He has 50 +'s and on -, that's still 49 +'s!
