Such a vague post… What am I supposed to do with this? Who are the “handful of personalities… hall monitoring”? Who do you consider “real” members?
Maybe you are exactly the problem i mentioned. Not everything is about you, your interests, and your expected standards. So maybe you aren’t suppose to do anything with “this”, but take a moment to reflect on how you are being perceived. Rabbit ears and thin skin is a bad way to go through life.
In a community of this size to have a handful of people try to dictate standards for the rest of us, says more about you, your personalities, and unclear motivations. I don’t think there is one single person here buying gear that wants “less safe” products, but yet a couple of malcontents, with seemingly personal grievances, try to hide behind the harm reduction philosophy to push personal agendas. A little self awareness goes a long way. Your games are transparent.
Every single vendor on this site has had issues. are you advocating digging through the archives and creating running tallies of every mistake they made so we can spam their thread on a daily basis? If this is the case, lead the charge. We can all go to the local pharmacy instead. The methods being used in this thread seem a little petty, hostile, and unnecessary.
I personally don’t care what you think about me. My only motivation is keeping a fair and balanced forum. I’ve personally watched you, and a handful like you, breed mistrust amongst members and create a toxic environment for anyone that holds different standards and opinions than yourself. For the record I would feel the same if you were showing up everyday to cheerlead. My feeling about you are nothing personal because I don’t know you. They are honest though.
