I wrote my post for badger. I don't really need to be validated but there are two points which I consider super important:
1. Truthful information. This is why sites like this exist imo. If we had truthful info everywhere and everything was at face value, there'd be no need for these kinda sites.
So like badger said, let's say we have a difference of opinion. I think every conflict or bad behavior of sellers should be aired out, and they don't. Okay, so then they don't do it and I will do it. Easy enough, right?
But no, once I post truthful info, it's like a red cloth for those guys. They attempt to normalize, diminish, excuse, justify and minimize the issues I post, truthful issues that inevitably arise between sellers and buyers in this biz. And it's not like it's only 25% of my posts or playing devils advocate occasionally...no it's the response of literally every.single.critical.post I make.
It's like a bat signal especially for guys who like to post that same gif. It's like they're treating me as an arsonist and a perpetrator when I'm simply doing a report of a cr!me being committed. I'm not the bad guy here!
They are the ones always reminding that the world isn't ideal yet they seem to want to have this perception that orgs/girls can't do any wrong and don't fart.
They don't want the truth, they are only how concerned this truth makes some people look.
And thats a a problem.
They literally rejoice when there's an opportunity to show that "see some other entity is doing it it's not just this business". If that's not an attempt at normalizing bad behavior, I don't know what is. Just because other people lie doesn't mean we should. Just because some others engage in the same behavior doesn't mean sellers are justified.
After all, no one is going to justify a violation of a woman by saying oh but someone else is also doing it? I hope not. So what's the difference? Bad behavior is bad behavior.
If truth is then batted down and diminished, what is the point? People then will be reading lies, which defeats the purpose of this forum.

Second point is double standards. This is a two way biz and the protocol and criteria for protocol should be exactly the same for both sides. What's allowed for one side should be allowed for other side, and if something is not allowed for one side, it also shouldn't be allowed for the other side. It's a very simple concept. Do unto others and all that.
But yet, every day people exhibit double standards here. As a recent example, the same people who consider giving advice on prices to a provider grounds for "don't tell me how to live my life " and then insulting customers, see absolutely no issue with giving advices to mongers about anything else. Well no, either any advice can be replied to with "don't tell me how to live my life" and vitriol, or no advice can. Not even badgers advice to "lighten up". Cherry picking and choosing means engaging in double standards.
Both sides have to play by the EXACT same rules.
If one side is playing by different rules, once again, what's the point? They can just have rules that are extremely favorable for themselves. And yet again my attempt to have these rules be equal and enforce a fair protocol is met with utmost resistance.
I'm sorry, what's the value of a forum if trufhul info that is negative is always going to be attempted drowned out and no one wants to subject both sides to the same rules?
And we can't really discuss particular girls in details?
Friday shill threads and pointless small talk? I guess.
