Be cautious

--- Quote from: persimmon on September 30, 2019, 02:29:02 AM ---I haven't been attacked on this forum yet (knock on wood), but I can understand why some members might feel the need to defend their reader(s); it's likely the criticism crystallizes this kernel of doubt about the prediction/outcome they've received from that reader, thus causing that knee-jerk reaction to silence the naysayer rather than consider the alternative. Still, if a reader has worked for someone then it really shouldn't matter what criticism others might have posted with respect to their experiences.
My motivation for sharing my negative experiences comes from a place of hoping that someone, somewhere, won't make the same mistakes, and hopefully save a couple bucks in the process. However, if another member is convinced in their heart of hearts that the reader I may have had an awful experience with, is indeed genuine (or accurate), I would never want to take that away from them, or dump on their hopes.
With that said, and maybe I'm biased here, I don't think that new members should necessarily be seen as more suspect than veteran members.

Likewise I have, and others have a right to say hey reader x was sketchy too without people defending that reader. We all have a right to say whatever is the truth and our experiences. I think that this is a little unfair, so you're saying we should have untrue reviewing because others wanna defend a reader which makes others uncomfortable to post?

I'm gonna get spanked here, but I disagree only because prior to this recent drama, we absolutely had newbie shills getting booted only to set up new accounts and then proven, by the admin, to be generated from the same IP address. So yeah, it was a newbie thing. It's not to say that a vet couldn't go rogue. It's possible. A newbie could be a booted vet returning, but they would still be a newbie by staus.
Fidget is not a shill and needs a drink.

After rereading my comment, I wondered if it even made sense. Lol
