I'm prepared to get blasted for this, but here goes.
I think we are getting too critical of everybody and everything. It used to be if somebody had a bitch, you would find it on here, read it, make a comment and go on.
Now it seems that people are over analyzing every last miniscule piece of everything anybody says in their posts. So what if somebody uses BTT a little too often? So what if somebody's price is too high? So what if they post knives individually? So what if it's the same knife they couldn't sell last month?
It used to be that this forum was useful for finding out who screwed who on a deal. Now it's hard to tell by the topic title without reading the entire post to find out that it's someone's idea of a sly joke and not really a negative post.
Let's post something about every deal we have with everybody. Every time. I think we get the picture after the same guy posts a real sweet recommendation about the same guy over and over again. Maybe it's sucking up for the next deal, I don't know.
The GBU is becoming a butt smooching arena. I guess that's fine. If that's your thing. But it used to be a person could glean a lot more useful information than you can lately.
Why can't people go back to the practice of making a "good guys list" post and just update it when needed.
I want to be able to pick out the people to avoid in the easiest manner and not have to read every single post and decipher what people mean by their message and whether it's tongue in cheek or not.
This board is not our right. It is our privilege. We are making it look like a whiners board.
Venting over, comments commence!
