I'm thinking there is either some way to modify code and fake your post count OR these people sit around all day making stupid one word posts and generally wasting time. Dunno, can't spend the time to figure it out either. Mybe if I was a mod

I am here every day. A majority of my posts are for helping beginners either in cultivation or journals. I have only done a dozen tubs or so but I do the best I can, or learn something in the process.
I try to make at least one person laugh, and I love to encourage new growers. It's refreshing to see people ready for bulk right out the gate.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass.

Mods volunteer their time. Maybe if you figured it out they would make you a mod.

the fuck.. ok. nice to see you too. a perfect example of what I was saying. People here just to be jerks....
LoL wow. good job shroomerites, good job. Did you know what this thread was about?
Like I said before. It's a trap people step in, being cynical and sarcastic and then poking one another when it hurts.
Getting good advice costs experience and if all your experience was positive you likely haven't done all the legwork.

I think there are a variety of reasons, here are a few of them.
Everyone pretends to be perfect, and because of this people see their own imperfections as being a much bigger deal than they really are. It makes it really hard for a person to accept themselves when they think they are the only one or one of very few people who is like that. It is terrifying and it makes people feel very alone - some people react to that by lying to themselves and telling themselves they are something great and nearing perfection, so they naturally think other people's ways of thinking and doing things are shitty and tell them so, making them an asshole. Some people react to it by just trying to make others feel as they do, thinking that they don't already - and they do that by trying to make others feel bad about themselves, also making them an asshole.
Some people just feel generally insignificant and powerless which is understandable with the way the world is, so they seek affirmation of their existence and of their power, importance and/or influence by exercising power over others.
For some it is as simple as the fact that they compare themselves to others, and feel they are doing well and are successful when they consider themselves to be doing better than others are - it takes a large amount of effort to make your own situation significantly better but only a small amount to make someone else's considerably worse.
It is very sad, because in order to understand what something is like, we need a frame of reference. For all things outside the self, we have other things to compare them to. But to understand what we ourselves are like, we have no true frame of reference except how others react to us and treat us. When someone is somewhat consistently treated a certain way, they start to believe they are that way. I think people on a forum based around psychedelics should understand more than most that perception is reality - so by taking part in that and treating someone like pieces of shit, you really are shaping their reality into one in which they are a piece of shit. It is one of the worst things you really can do to someone.
There certainly is a case to be made for simply developing a thicker skin - but people who are able to do so are people who are not treated so poorly so consistently, not everyone is afforded that luxury.
I hope this post has helped to shed some light on the issue, or at least given some people something to ponder.
