>There are definitely shills and hostile posters purposely trying to ruin this board but you've really got to be more careful who you throw that label at.
No, I don't. I've called plenty of anons shills, and plenty have called me a shill. We use it for that exact purpose…when we are all anons, we can only attack a particular thought as it was expressed. I can't judge your motivations. So if you say something shilly, I call you a shill. To be fair, I almost always frame it "you're either a shill or retarded."
You are making more reasoned requests for more info and personal verification in this post, and so that is why I'm no longer insulting you and am instead having a conversation.
I was particularly attacking people bitching over the specifics of the picture, as if they were relevant.
That needs to be swiftly nipped in the bud, and I stand by insulting any one who isn't smart enough to realize that it could never be used as a serious method of validation, no matter how perfectly the items appeared to match.
