Inquisitive Infiltrator posted this.

To me, Bloomilk is easier to to deal with then any other site, and it just so happens that it gets ALOT of Traffic, more then other sites.
Honestly, You can promote the V set on Amazon for all anyone cares, but not doing it on a site that gets more members everyday, and that is easy to navigate, is kind of silly.
It would be one thing to keep things top secret (which isnt happeneing, ala 'Rogue Mod'), but its another to alienate the members who dont frequent Gamers.
I like Gamers, I think its a cool as ice site, but Bloomilk is more accessable.
Either way, Im not shelling out any more money until I know what is going to be in the Set, and I mean everything.
Telling people to get over it is just another way of asking someone to kindly 'Shut up', and if I want to express my opinion on a subject that concerns my A) Money, and B) SWMs, then I reserve the right to do so.
This isnt a debate on who sucks, or whose site is better. This is me saying that you attract more bees with honey, then you do with......eh, you get it.
The more the V sets are promoted on Numerous sites (bloomilk being the obvious number 1), the more likely Gamers will be to get to that magic number.

END QUOTE

This is what I see.

He likes Gamers.
He thinks BlooMilk is easy to navigate.
He wants to voice his opinion.
He wants to see the entire set before he buys it.
He thinks more sites promoting the V-set is better than less.

Mybe my trolling glasses aren't on, but I don't see it.

This quoted post seems very thoughtful and respectful to me (they may also be expressing some disagreement implicitly, but again, they are very cordial about it). Was it taken down from another thread for some reason?

Y'know what, you may have a case but that doesn't matter here. If you do have a specific issue with the fact that a BlooMilk Moderator thought this (and other posts) were enough evidence to lock the thread, then please, contact us via PM and we can discuss it. We're really keen to see that we can discuss things and see the best for all you awesome BlooMilk folk. Buuuut, the issue I see here is to start up a new thread simply to public discuss the above. While, as I said, you may have a case and that could be discussed and talked through at great length through this thread, I think that the danger is that it wildly flail into a full scale arguement that we've had before. I know that's not your intention but that could happen.

Please people, be mindful of what you say!


Look, I'm gonna give my oppinion of the whole SWMgamer thang. I love gamers, I love what the guys are doing, I love BlooMilk too. I think BlooMilk NEEDS dnemiller, billiv15 and the rest of the gamers crew. I really want to see them here as much as possible - they are great for the game. They know so much and they give so much. Its an awful possibilty that we could lose input from guys who know so much about the game. I want to learn - they want to teach.

I'm a BlooMilk'er through and through, but I have no issue wi' gamers and what they do. You don't have to agree with them! and they're fine with that (I am sure), but we are all SWM brothers. Sometimes brothers fight, but we're still brothers.

(Could be argued that I should have said 'brothers and sisters'... my apologies to the sisters out there.)

I think we need a BlooMilk FAQ for the Vsets as all the things Inq.Inf. brought up have already been discussed at length. I'll talk to the Mod folk.

I think it was the other comment he made in that last thread that was taken as a bit persnickity (sp?) opposed to the one quoted here.

Well Inquisitive Infiltrator did apologize if he's comments were taken the wrong way and that should have been the end of it, however I must admit i did not think it was trolling either but starting new threads like this really does not help the site or this what now seem an endless problem here. The best way forward is for Inquisitive Infiltrator himself if he has an issue with whats happened to PM a mod and sort it out privately.
I hope the thread in question is reopened

Sorry guys. I was going to post that in the other thread, but it got locked before I hit post. It just seemed too silly to lock a thread over.

Ya'know I went back to re-read the other thread, and the comment was made that Inquisitive's POSTS (plural) were trolling.

If those are an example of trolling then everybody's posts are trolling.

I can certainly see why viewing that one post in isolation would not look like trolling. (Can one post actually be trolling?). If you don't understand my concerns with II, please send me a PM if it seems worth your time to ask me why I think he's trolling.

If you prefer, I could have asked the mods to simply remove the thread altogether. Either way, I have about 0 tolerance left for people bringing up the same issues over and over again, and the same negative characterizations that have been addressed repeatedly, to that specific poster over and over again.

In the end, the thread was requested to be locked. Normally, whoever opens the topic can make the request to have a thread locked, but in this case, a representive of SWMGamers asked it to be locked. So I locked it. Going 'round and 'round about the whys of it is futile. The thread had several posts that could be considered trolling and baiting and had gone off topic several times. In the future, I hope the we, the SWM community can discuss relevant topics without these kinds of posts.

I agree with you 100% and now I will go ahead and close this thread before it gets out of hand. If you have any more questions concerning this topic, PM billiv15 as he said.
