With an attitude like that, I'm not surprised they don't take you seriously.

Even with lower performance I can see use cases where the ease of configuration works. Medium sized businesses with relatively low query volume seem like a good fit to me.

Why would you use spanner inspired system for medium size business with low query volume :)?

I like the idea of a self healing cluster where each node is equal and the amount of work required to maintain and migrate it is kept to a minimum.

I misspoke, i meant with moderate latency requirements. I have a product in mind where the queries don't require high performance. Instead i value availability without babysitting.

Do I need to take you seriously?! You don't have to play a "victim" role here You can just keep scratching someone's back. "Medium sized businesses" don't stop doing their business because of CockroachDB. They were able to do just fine with whatever systems/databases they were using prior to CockroachDB existence.

Where's the arrogance? All I see is a honest, introspective look at the development process and stability of CockroachDB.

What statements are you referring to?

My guess is that the discussion being referred to is this one: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cockroach-db/7w463Bv-Mbk/d...

Not sure where the vitriol is coming from though.

Here on HN, allegations don't usually go well without evidence.
