I didn't see any announcement made by you to be honest, so I can't comment on that nor say I agree/disagree with it. I don't have access to see the patreon donations so I don't see who donates what apart from their user name and little gold icon.
My objections were to you accusing us of only caring about what is effectively forum drama/controversy, and controversial threads, to generate revenue. I reject that in the strongest possible terms, because it's not true. We don't use advertising, if nobody wants to donate then that's absolutely fine, I'll make up the difference if I have to. As as been stated, Tibs runs this place at a loss; he doesn't expect anyone to donate, that people do is a bonus, and we are eternally grateful for it. But I don't begrudge people who don't want to, it's your/their money.
I appreciate you not wanting to leave. FWIW neither I nor anyone else I can think of would want you to.
