As a new member, our opinions are less valid in the context of this forum. This forum is about spreading knowledge and harm reduction. If we cannot validate someone’s knowledge level, we cannot know if we can trust it. In another thread, a member was telling another one a grossly wrong amount of GH to take. They were rightly called out. We can all trust, but we need to verify, That’s what post history helps with.
When a good number of senior members speak up, I can validate their experience. I can read their other post, their cycle logs, and get a feel for what their strengths, weaknesses, how they are biased, or if they are just a complete dumbass. It doesn’t matter how much we know or think we know. It doesn’t matter how long we have or have not lifted, If no one can validate that over time, there is an inherent distrust. I don’t want them to trust me. If I’m asking a question, or commenting on an experience and I’m wrong, I’d rather a “hey dumbass, you may want to look over here instead” than quiet observation of watching me fail.
My advice is to get some thicker skin. If they are responding, they care. You may not like how they care, but it is likely in your best interest.
