30mg of oxy and a blunt later...

[dimon114]

Well I had a panic attack when I learned about this (used to get them all the time, but this is the first in almost 6 months).

Made a bunch of angry rant posts, then decided I really need to calm down cause my hands were still shaky after an hour.


Now I regret said rants for one simple reason. SilkRoad (not the market) is so much more then a way to get drugs - it is an idea, a symbol of freedom; and allowing myself to point my emotions at a part of SilkRoad (staff) was a weakness, a misteak on MY part.


I can't proove that the current staff is running a scam, or that they are negligent, but either way they represent this community/idea more then ANYONE else. Because of this any insult/claim directed at them has a direct effect on SilkRoad (the symbol, not the market).


Just a few hours ago I thought I would be homeless by the end of the month, but it appears there are still options for me. I told my landlord that I lost my job, and to my surprise he said that it's fine and that he had tenants who didn't pay for almost 6 months (I always pay a couple days early).
My partner, who I thought wouldn't even believe me about what happened (not a tech-savy guy) showed immense understanding and even offered to help me get back on my feet.

So maybe it's just the oxy talking, but while the staff of this market bears the name SilkRoad it is important to at least pretend we trust them to solve this problems. Instead, it is wiser to direct all energy to solving our own personal problems, created by this crisis.

I'm not sure if I will ever use the market again, but I am a part of SilkRoad for Life!

Bump.

Figured this might get read now that most people calmed down.

[Herby]

bump

[TSCrew]

bump

Read my post scammer.

[Pigstick]

bump

Read my post scammer.

No experience with Herby because he required FE but I will say that I have only vendor I have lost money to was to TSC on BMR. I am not the type to ask twice for something and I certainly dont mean to hate but judge not and all that shit

You must be high. They do not represent this community the vendors and the buyers do without us they would be nothing. We are silk road not a bunch of people who capitalized on the OG DPRs dream. No one man is bigger then the whole.

I saw a whole page of 1/5 for scams on Herby's page. Can vouch he was a scammer and him being in the best selling listings make me sick. Multiple QP FE'd

well that's just denying a fact. when you read "defcon" on the dark net, you think SilkRoad. I'm not saying they created it, just that their immage is directly linked to that of the community.
So any judgement made upon them (sr staff) will translate into "dark net people are sketchy fucks trying to make money" to the masses.

SR should be proof of our leginimacy, not a reinforcement of the "drugie" stereotype.

Amen, 30mg of Oxy made me much less bitter about losing all the coin in my wallet.

So we are just suppose to hail our so called leaders with no judgment? They can do no wrong? We are the silk road and they are the ones fucking up the name, not us. I'm not saying who did what but WHAT happened and now US unwavering followers take the brunt and they get to sit high on their commission. I'm sorry but your view seems very fraud to me   

Edit: and why the fuck are we trying to please the masses?

SILK ROAD IS A FANTASY WHO HAS HAD ITS TIME AND YOU LIKE EVERYONE ELSE NEED TO FACE FACTS BUDDY SILK ROAD IS JUST A PLACE TO SCORE DRUGS A COMMUNITY IS SOMETHING YOU INTERACT WITH IN REAL LIFE

IS EBAY A COMMUNITY OR IS MYSPACE A COMMUNITY???

WAKE UP ROADIES YOUR VISION OF A UTOPIA IS DEAD - YES THAT PUN IS INTENDED TO MAKE YOU THINK PAST YOUR NEED TO GET HIGH

HAHAHAHAH YEAH

FISH AND MICE MAKE A CAT LOOK NIIICEEE!

[dimon114]

a community is just a group of people.
when did I say you should " hail our so called leaders with no judgment"? I think you need to re-read my post.
 
@The Cat
please the masses and INFORM the masses are the difference we are trying to make
can I inquire as to where you get your crack? Seems like some strong shit.


Anyway, the main point of my OP was that SilkRoad 2.0 (the market) is not SilkRoad (the community). The difference is the former can be hacked, raided, robbed, etc...

Tensions were and are still high at the moment. Any post made in anger yesterday was very justified. Thank you for your post OP.

That was definitely an exception. Death threats are not allowed. Anger, however is to be expected after this.
