Yup! The power of being an anonymous patron/fan/customer is great for that! Just removing yourself from the picture.
And I mean, yes, the statement can be true... but in those cases, if someone's avoiding them that hard, getting nasty about it probably isn't going to succeed. (To be clear, I don't think gently holding someone's face in your hands and explaining in perfect Nonviolent Communication will work either. Sometimes, unfortunately, all we can do is just walk away from someone and accept that only they can do the work.) I'm not arguing whether the statements are TRUE or not, I'm arguing whether they WORK or not.
