hello. first question

For me, one of the main things is that they're likely endangering themselves by going off with a few surface-level answers. I want no part of their self-harm.

They also pollute the search results when others look for answers and there are 50 threads on the same topic, each with five posts. Not conducive to deep understanding.

Just dont want to waste my time with someone that would rather ask questions about the basics than read about them.
I dont momd helping. But lots of these new fuckers come in here like they are owed something.

They aren't owed shit. If they are nice and follow the culture of the board they'll come out ahead, if they dont, well 👋

And the culture seems to be: research research research and THEN if you are stuck ask for help.

You go to any narrow/specific interest forums on the interwebs and you will find a core membership of XYZ% that interact, exchange information, and build a community amongst themselves...Then there is the continuous flow of peripheral new users who parachute in from out of nowhere, flail arms, demand basic information and evaporate from the site as quickly as they appeared never to be seen again...this site is no different...GLPs are a popular subject right now in web searches. A lot of those searches lead here. As has been said in many posts, most of us would gladly help a new member on a genuine health journey...That said, we also need to understand that the vetting process with these casual newcomers can serve a purpose of sorting out likeminded people wanting information on health from people on a whole different mission...is what it is...

I remember the analogy of showing someone how to put on a parachute but not how to jump.

This is not a safe hobby for someone who doesn't make a lot of effort.
It is generally why people like to see new comers do a little homework before letting them just see our test answers on the quiz.

Seems like most were nice to OP, just not necessarily the way he wanted.


It is really a pretty helpful community and I have definitely seen worse.

you're doing that thing again where you can't tell the difference between women. I block mfers just cause it's Tuesday. I blocked @BNLFL cause a bit demanded it. I blocked @Calm Logic cause his info was costing me too much money. Sometimes, I pull up the member list, pick a letter at random, type it in, and block the first person that pops up, just so I can feel something again.

I actually UNblocked a long timer that I blocked my first week here, because I hadn't heard anyone reference him in a long time, and found out he rage-flounced months ago. That was kind of fun.

Hell, that's not only true of these fast talking newcomers, but also of people that I know in the walking around world...I have said to more than one person that I interacted with about GLPs when they said, "I will just buy my GLPs from you"...ABSOLUTLY FUCKING NOT!...If you are not willing to go through all the curves; sourcing, testing, crypto, equipment, reconning...then there are plenty of less stressful avenues available to get GLPs...
