yo im looking for a post you made on april fools day, you said something along the lines of "look, you guys bitched about how the site was run, and now you got what you asked for. do you like it?"
but i cant find it because i cant remember exactly what you said so my searches are turning up a bunch of useless crap.
that thread needs to get linked so the OP can read it.

Crazy.
There are other places on the internet if you want an automobile.
No thats not how this works there guy. You all throw him right under the buss without a second thought because its the normal thing to do here in a belittling manner and pass it off as simple discussion and "honest responses"
sucks.

Actually, the majority does pay - without our page hits there would be no ad revenue; also factor in our donations for supporter accounts.
I have no financial records of the site so i can't comment on howmuch revenue this brings. i was referring to direct payment through supporter accounts. Which i find the way to directly support the shroomery.

2. the majority are idiots and trolls.
I take it you don't have many friends on here.
I wouldn't know since im not asking those questions to people, nor am i searching for acceptance. I'm not here to get befriended with people who live half a planet away. Im here to learn about mushroom growing and sharing that knowledge. Sometimes I even get into a trivial discussion such as this. Boosts my English grammar and sentence structure and whatnot.

Actually it's sound analogical reasoning. But "horrible" sounds more convincing.

For the record, suggesting that I go elsewhere is played out and is an easy cop-out in exchange for free thinking.
I'm not suggusting you leave, just that you appreciate the shroomery for what it is and get whatever you don't feel you can find here from someplace that offers it.

nit picking is what separates the truly good ideas from the truly shit ideas.
a lot of things seem like good ideas on the surface.
like drug prohibition
but then you look at the fine details and realize it sucks, doesnt work, and is totally immoral.
if you want to have a good conversation (which you seem to think you are missing out on for some reason) then you have to allow others to nitpick what you say and point out your logical fallacies.

I do appreciate this place in many ways, I am just also an idealist that sees ways in which the value systems we possess as individuals can be extrapolated to the greater platform we use to communicate. It's like freeing the bird in your chest.Quote:

I wasn't being facetious.
I was agreeing with you and implying it's more closer to the truth.

Yes, and the internet is still the internet when we switched from Netscape Navigator to Google Chrome.
But my point remains. Don't be nitpicky.
you should follow your own advice because in this thread you're being picky

I gave it thought. I'm not belittling him. Would you mind telling how conversation goes if it's not an exchange of ideas like I thought?

Two fucking newbs think they are going to revolutionize the Shroomery to suit t3h p33puhlz? As Teragon once said, "Shine off, you twat(s)".
Even if there were to be an election what makes you think you two month dorks would get a vote?
