Musings of a concerned soul
"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
Sorry for quoting Batman, but this line resonates loud and clear each time i run through posts in this part of the forum.
We were all supposed to be one happy community. A brotherhood of sorts, fellow enthusiasts that were collectively interested in helping out fellow two-strokers in need.
Somewhere along the way, money came along. As parts dried up, people got into things seeking monetary gains. No harm in that per-se, so long as there was transparency there.
Unfortunately, given the wayward costs of procurement and transportation, the prices started to get further skewed.
Then, greed got in the way where all sorts of shady-stuff happened to occur.
People who were once the thickest of friends, soon began to act like sworn enemies.
Factions developed and there were all sorts of accusations flying around.
I won't get into the pricing wars or the issues regarding the groups and camps that have developed.
My question to the community is this - how did things degrade this bad?
Was money the only reason or were there other factors involved? Does anybody even care or has everyone decided to play to their own advantages?
And where are we taking this amazing community that once swore it would stand by fellow 2strokers through thick and thin?
The above thoughts are not directed towards anyone in singular, but more towards all such members who feel that this community still has it within itself to rise above the selfish wars.
apologies in advance to anyone feeling offended after reading this. The mods can step in if things get dicey.
