Inflators in Anti-Inflation Guilds
((Had to move it off the GD. People can't read.))
Let me place it first in some context. I allowed an inflator go in to an Anti-Inflation Guild named AIR. I am disturbed at the lack of cognizance and ability to read through the surface of most. Especially the ones who are loudest in their complaints who do not do anything to begin with.
First, I rather call them out and see exactly what they are doing to help things to begin with. Next, I have to establish my reasons for allowing someone like that in.
Citing my post here, I must state first and foremost that within anti-inflation guilds there will always be spy inflators. I've acknowledged that fact and in a sense am using it instead.
I rather have an inflator step in to that guild and contribute to the discussion. In doing so it allows me and the others to see what they think and adjust our programs and projects accordingly. It allows us to be more dynamic. Hence we have a few projects in the wings already planned out, while also doing an information campaign. One of which would be this one. Check the second post.
In the end, am I a true anti-inflationist? I doubt it, I can establish the fact that inflation can be a good thing. What I do not like is that I can not trust that the one I sell to when I attach conditions to my sale would not screw me over and would not be grateful about it. I am a sucker for lost causes and it is unfortunately tilted in one direction. The odds are stacked against anti-inflationists. So, I help out.. Besides, gaia is supposed to be fun. Everything I do has to be for ME. My Enjoyment, else gaia loses its interest and I leave, taking away from the market and sales the items I have stored.
My deal has always been more in making people work for the sale price I am giving them. I mean, I tried to sell a December 03 for 40K in December in the exchange, my method of pricing is that the harder my conditions are the greater the reward. That is where I take my fun from.
I got out of topic, my apologies. In regards to DS(name shortened), who is a self-professed inflator. Yes, I let him in to AIR. Why? My reasons are simple. He came in without pretensions of being an anti-inflator, he contributes to the discussion rather than staying in the background. In that sense, he has contributed more to the cause of anti-inflation than whiny idiots around that b***h about prices and do nothing about it. Do I condone what he does? Of course not, it is absolutely hypocritical to the values he purportedly has. But will I attack him for it? Not worth it, I rather see where he goes off next and make plans accordingly.
So tell me, what have you done(those that whine and b***h about inflation without action)? I have projects that I am willing to fund but do not have time to do or to maintain. I already have too many projects I am involved in at the moment to begin with, one of which is a link I placed here earlier. The others have my mark but will not bear my name in it. I like being in the side-lines, but this, this is insulting. How people could not think beyond the surface and see the merits of keeping close an enemy/problem that is named. It is insulting when people imagine I might not have realised who he is.
Yes, I want a discussion. That is how ideas can be refined and projects can be implemented. Good day.
((Note: My gripe is not about the anti-inflation/inflation war. My gripe is that people can not seem to digest the thought that it is best to be able to talk to an opposing view.))
