...you are swearing off hunting for the season because you can't find shit even though the season is booming for everyone else and you're checking all kinds of new promising habitat but you know there are loads of real-life productive chores for you to tend to so you don't break up with your fiance while simultaneously planning the next big hunting trip!

When you drop by your favorite spot to just look at your "little buddies" knowing that you still have to wait another day or two before you get to take them home.

I doubt it is the stereotyping that you actually have an issue with. It is probably more the intolerance of the comment.

First you would have to define "shroomer", anyone that picks mushrooms could be considered a "shroomer".
The intent was to make "shroomer" another word for loser drug abuser.., not on my watch.
We are all "shroomers" here, respect.

i remember once when i was in the car (not driving) i asked my brother to have a mushroom spotting competition with me. he politely declined. i remember yelling out mushroom names... "YES! coprinus comatus! species number 7!" i lost count of the amount of times i was called a loser during that car ride.
i was so pumped when i got to 10 species. that was my goal.

Herb's right, my definition of a Shroomer is something along the lines of a "loser drug abuser" who consumes hallucinogenic mushrooms, (can't be considered a shroomer if you don't use mushrooms)
It's a crowd I have never been a part of and never want to be a part of. Although I have met a few people from this site (at other mushroom events, a couple of whom don't know it...) and to get real life perspective on people sometimes changes things; But I will say that a majority of you, base on the post I read - are not people who I would want mushroom with... This forum puts my tolerance to the limit and then some and one of these days I'll probably get feed up with this site and move on... My addiction is identifying fungi and at the moment this is another outlet for it.
Also anybody that picks mushrooms should be considered a Mushroomer, not a Shroomer.

Just what exactly constitutes a "loser drug abuser"? Anyone who consumes magic mushrooms? Does that make Gary Lincoff and Paul Stamets "losers"? Does ones academic achievement allow them to forgo the dubious title of "loser"? What about the Native American losers who consume hallucinogenic sacraments? Are you implying there is no valid reason to search for and consume hallucinogenic mushrooms....or does it depend on intent and/or a host of other factors?
While I do detest the "Hey, Maaaaan, how many of these mofos does it take to get it kickin'?" types, I equally detest the "OMG...I can't believe you do DRUGS!" types. Both groups are equally worthless in my eyes.
My passion used to be drugs; now it's learning to ID mushrooms. Compulsive behavior is bad whether it is drugs or mushroom identification...I guess I'm a loser at most things I do...

thanks Bob.you hit the nail on the head there.
last time i checked it was called" THE SHROOMERY magic mushrooms demystified" if you intolerable straight edge "mushroomers" dont like "shroomers" why are you here? i dont get it. to sit here and diss people for their OWN CHOICES is completely ignorant and very closed minded.maybe you need to eat an ounce of liberties and lose your ego.
or maybe just simply be acceptive of others,which this world needs more of.

No kidding... let's get back on-topic. There are innumerable active threads elsewhere on this site where people are pointlessly arguing. Take the argument there.

You can all etibem, i am a bit surprised by your response. i agree that there are some people using this site that cross a line of comfort that people can identify with, for everyone that is different, but to lump folks into one category or another based on a personal choice (and for some it is a very meaningful one), i don't feel is justifiable. there is a perplexing dichotomy to your statement considering your contributions here (not sure if you've actually id'd any actives, if not, i suppose you could argue that you have not contributed to something you don't believe in). regardless, i appreciate your knowledge as do many others here i am sure. and i for one have done things i would classify as 'loser-esque', but it's very easy to remember the negative and forget the positive, human nature i guess. sorry to comment off-topic, but you know you are an addict when...
...you implore others to stay on a forum when it seems they may in fact dislike you very much.

... when you tell people that they can find mushrooms at the beach, just to keep them out of the fields and gardens you enjoy searching.
... when you hide mushrooms around your technical college, (although i don't think this makes me an addict, more just wasteful) i wonder what people think when they find them...

Liiiike I just said. Let's get this thing back on track, not further off track.
You know you're an ADDICT when you get in arguments/flamewars on internet message boards over your deeply-held feelings, even though everyone else is also passionate about their opinions and will not change their mind just because you made some inflammatory posts on the internets.
