But honestly I don’t know you or your motivation. and they way you go at him, and your timing, makes it seem personal.
@readalot is strident in a way that it is really hard for me to be. I blame my Southern upbringing. But what is it our feminist sisters say?
Well-behaved women seldom make history.
It's definitely not evenly distributed. One readalot badgering all the sources here equally would be spread too thin to have an effect. So I figure there are reasons Primal's getting a lot of attention right now. Not to put words into his mouth, but I've thought about it before and made some guesses. Maybe he'll share his actual reasons.
* New source: more opportunity to influence before bad habits form?
* The source is already being righteous in some areas others aren't -- testing finished product, for example, and not using EO or guac. So the goal is closer.
* Impact: Primal's getting a lot of attention and business, and that means more people may benefit from improvements
* They're actually present and responding, god bless 'em
* Their own stated ambition to be the absolute best and change the game. Cynically, that sounds like bluster, but if we were all complete cynics, we wouldn't bother doing any of this. He's taking them at their word on this.
So it doesn't seem "fair" to me, but it doesn't seem personal, either.
One thing I will say seems less than optimal: if I were
@Primal_Pharma, and putting in all the time here to be part of the conversation, I'd want some way to make announcements without them getting lost in all the debate. I think that might be part of what's pissing off some of the other members. Some people just want to hear about sales and new products from the source, not read 10 pages of discussion every day. They're actually doing their jobs during the day, presumably, and engaging in other frivolous pursuits.
And the way things are now, there's a perverse incentive for the source to
not engage in discussion so their marketing channel becomes less noisy.
Maybe Meso works the way it does with source threads for good reasons, and that's a bad or previously failed idea. But if there were such a thread, I'd subscribe to it.
