This is because our uncle is like family here. Him and his reps go out of there way to make themselves part of our community by sponsoring sites like the one you're on, holding competitions with prizes for the winners, and offering support to help us all with their years of experience.
Now I'm not saying he's the only source I ever order through. But he's kind of like old faithful, always there sending out great gear. So if you're gonna bash someone that puts that much effort into supporting all of us in some way or another I think you should better have some damn proof.
i guess i just see things a bit differently in general. i see your point though. but it isn't always 'bashing', sometimes there ARE (and have been) legitimate complaints. people SHOULD feel like they can raise those concerns not only with the source in private (who will make it right because that is smart business, never mind it being the 'right' thing to do) but publicly so that awareness can also rise in case the problem is not an isolated occurrence.
example:
source a underdoses stuff at 80% of labeled doses.
100 people make purchases. 10 realize something is off, get things checked, whatever, they go back to the source, he makes it right with those 10. beyond that, it is his prerogative whether to come clean on the underdosing and solve it for everyone or pretend like it didn't exist and count his bills from the other 90 peeps all the way to the bank.
frankly, i don't trust many sponsors to do much self policing. that's because they usually don't. if anything, things lean more towards the opposite, things get brushed under rugs. overlooked, ignored..... and that ends up hurting the very community they are trying to be a part of.
i'm not 'bashing' our uncle with that statement, just saying in what i've seen over the years in this game, that's pretty typical.
honestly my only real gripe is the unreasonable markup on everything. in that kind of situation, to me, that sort of counters the positive things someone may do for people or a community. but most are in this game solely for the benjamins so it doesn't come as a shock when i see it.
