“What everyone forgets....” why do you keep feeling the need to speak for everyone? You don’t realize this, but you’re literally the only person on this board who feels the need to involve themselves in every conversation. I’ve been defensive to no one, I’m simply not going to be bullied by you.
Here’s the thing, Wayne, and I genuinely hope you can try to understand this rather than just follow your instinct to continue to argue- we all have our own personal lives that call for varying degrees of discretion. My current situation in life, for reasons that are absolutely none of your business and require no explanation to you or anyone else here (though you’re the only one who seems to think you deserve one), is one that makes me feel i cannot leave reviews. The truth is, I’d love to contribute more, but I currently cannot. I deliberated for quite some time before starting this thread, as even that was riskier than I’d care to be right now. I was able to get to a place in my mind that I felt comfortable starting the thread, although I will say I revealed more than I wish I did in subsequent replies to the thread. The truth, whether you like it or not, is this is precisely the reason the site allows you to pay for private access if you feel you’re unable to leave reviews. I’m genuinely sorry that I cannot contribute more at this time, but I can assure you my reasons are valid and it’s not simply because I’m selfish. I truly envy you for being in a position in life that you can be so open on here and not fear any consequences. Sadly, I’m not in that position. You’d be doing yourself and everyone else a favor by considering what I said and resisting the urge to attack every member who doesn’t meet your contribution standards. Some of us simply cannot. We are all in a position in this hobby where we need to assess the risks we’re willing to take. I went right up to the line and even passed it in some of the things I said over the course of this thread.
I have no desire to bicker back and forth with you. You’re obviously an excellent contributor to this board (and others), and I sincerely thank you for that. Please just understand that some of us do not have that luxury.
