I can't really change my member status to source/vendor, you know. Long before I ever made my first post I told Millard my plans to be a source here and he had no issue with it.
I'm not responsible for whatever sources in the past have done. Posting with a source account instead of alt accounts/recruiting shills is, as you can obviously see from us having this discussion, not exactly an effective way of manipulating public opinion in my favour, and you'd be delusional to think that's my goal.
Whenever a 'follower' has defended me without reason, I've shut them up myself, I don't need g2g fans. I don't have any respect for mindless g2g haters either. For the better of Meso, members should be held to a certain standard when vetting sources as well, and low quality posts have recently been drowning out the vetting by respected & knowledgeable posters in various source threads.
If you're actually interested in having this discussion (which goes for everyone else), I'd be happy to take this to any other thread as to not ruin PPL's further, up to you.
