Don't let the old guard intimidate you guys out there I know you have seen them attack other members but guys like myself stay on the sidelines and make contributions when we have to especially if it's about a safety issue it's too bad this board allows this type of behavior I will continue to inform the general membership with or without the annoying comments from the ole boys club, they can dilly dally all they want
Just curious, you claim to "stay on the sidelines until you have something to contribute", but you just joined in Sept. How have you been on the sidelines?
The reason the "old guard" is trusted is because they have contributed, good and bad, for extended periods of time, and like the BBB, their reviews are trusted. And until they are found out in a blatant shill (Slothy), their words are trusted. They are the reason this board exists, without trusted, tempered reviews, this is just Backpage.
So, if someone questions a new poster who's only contribution is a BBFS reference for an SP he has never even met, well, sorry if you don't understand the doubt.
But, please, prove us all wrong. Come aboard, write some reviews of your experiences, good and bad, and keep posting under the same handle and build a reputation. Then, when you post a message like the one starting this thread, people will thank you for your contribution.
