Cetin,
Your saying is interpreted by me - and I guess by others too - as an understatement: You think that some or all of those who have criticed the MVP program are mainly attackers, who are jealous in the first place. If that's not the correct explanation of the saying, then please tell us what the Turkish saying is really about.
Let me state that the responses of the MVP's have been quite 'defensive'. Denials ('I have never ...') and rejections ('that is not happening') are abundant, and I suppose they are correct. However, what the critical people search for, are reactions like "Yes, there are risks at stake and we MVP's have to be aware of those risks and take measures to prevent them". Such reactions would relax the discussion. Now, instead, reactions invoke reactions invoke reactions. And mine is the last, up till now.
Groet,
