Multiple posters in this thread have personal grudges against me (I have become the retirement project of one of them

) and this is obviously coloring how and what they post. Not a problem for me, but is going to leave many others confused. No cyberstalking on my part, he's mentioned other forums here multiple times and would consistently argue with me elsewhere, for the same reasons.
Yes I am sure someone has done that. We know there are unscrupulous people in this world but we have known that. However we also know that Silca would be able to tell their own products from fakes otherwise Silca needs some new staff.
I have no personal grudge but I have to imagine if you feel that way it is a good thing to look inward. I never think when having a discussion here that people have some personal issues and if they do they might be going through something or chalk it up to being an online forum and people can be nastier online than in person but I don't take it personally or let it control me. I move on to other fun discussions. If you start a discussion and you feel like everyone is against you maybe that is not them it is you and maybe try a different approach or don't and know the issue. I know I sometimes come out the same way and I know sometimes people don't like it but I have also improved certain things over the years learning more and trying to better myself.
