my discontent with the shroomery
    #8143526 - 03/13/08 09:01 PM (16 years, 18 days ago)

After being here over a year here is what I have come to see:
There seem to be clicks within the community that seem to feel they own this forum and ignore other posters ideas or comments
there are elitists just like everywhere else in the world
Its just generally not as an open/caring/kind community one would think it would be

what? to be respected you have to have a post count up 5,000+ or something

Yes I know what you are thinking: well if you dont like it then leave.
well by posting has drastically decreased throughout time and I really only frequent out of boredom

thats just my rant and honest feelings

As above, so below. Or something like that. Everywhere is the same.

indeed
however, I feel that some people here who use psychedelics have become such elitists thinking everyone else just a slave to the system or that others are below their awareness
or some other bullshit
I would think that if anything, psychedelics would not induce this
I guess its just a combo of personalities and the internet

I love this site. I see what you mean though for sure...
I don't feel like I receive much respect. Oh well. This forum site is still the best around. Can't complain.

Exactly.

Don't ever think any place will be different, because it's not, it only seems to be.

One thing I am discontent with is the sponsors. Dealing with some of them is like dealing with Mexican immigrants. It sometimes takes weeks to get a question answered; it's not uncommon to have a shipment go out a month later... as an online seller myself, I have questions answered and orders shipped almost always in 24 hours...

Sorry, I just find it pathetic.

Agreed. This is the only forum I ever read or post in anymore, because it's the only place where ego is out of the picture.

I agree too. It's pretty cliquey in all the other forums, which is why I like the anonymity of this forum.

You still don't understand that some people are in a different state of mind then you... I don't think you understand how wrapped up people can be in their own head and their own form of logic.I frankly don't care at all wether people are different or not I don't judge but when I see someone disrespecting sadi system then I feel I deserve the right to renounce ones way of understanding, expression or cognitive comprehension because I feel I shouldn't be judged. But one's ego still repulses the idea of being told to back off in fear response or reflection and insecurity... If I insult you then too bad... you probably insulted me as well, so we can have a commentary about it, if it happens.

and plus, some members also want to at LEAST respect the certain forums purpose and sometimes come to some understanding that this MESSAGE BOARD FOR PSYCHEDELIC DISCUSSION should be used for something USEFUL.

Instead of preferences or equivalences.

haha, yea, I know what you mean. It doesn't bother me in the least though because it is the internet after all.

I used to be a longtime poster on here for years and recently got my name changed due to some personal reasons, but I now get treated like the new kid on the block even though that couldn't be further from the truth.

Sometimes I find myself thinking along the same lines, but more often than not I decide that I only resent certain people because they're so God damn witty/intelligent/funny/etc and I'm a dull person for the most part. Then I come to the conclusion that it's the friggin' internet and allowing something so trivial to affect you in a negative way is weak/stupid.

... I don't like posting in here. I feel like I'm hiding, who the hell hides on the internet? :lol:

Are you sure you're old enough to browse this forum? Because you really need a mental age over 18 as well as a physical age to get the most out of it.

To be well respected you don't need a post count of over 9000 (I have less than 1000 and I have some of the best ratings on the Shroomery), you do need to have posts that contribute to the discussion and that respect the tone of the thread and the posters in it. Quality not quantity. It's called good manners and it's what kept most of us from bashing eachothers heads in for the last 5000 years.
This isn't elitism (please look up that word in a dictionary) it is however holding everyone to high standards. Respect is not a god given right, it is something you earn by your actions.

Please also note that criticism can sting, but to develop a tough skin for that and learning not to go crying to mommy anytime someone speaks a couple of harsh words is all a part of growing up.

Finally look first at yourself when there is a problem only then to others. This is a humbling experience, it even fucking hurts at times, but it will make you a better person.

PS it's spelled clique. Good spelling is the first step to having others respect you more. (Sorry, that did make me sound like an asshole. But that's kind of the point of this piece. educate yourself, don't go crying ELITSM anytime something goes over your head.)
