Pirate, nice reads man; you pretty much nailed it in the last 2 post.
out of icmag, very few people knew of Moonshine, if they did i am pretty sure most wouldn't have question his judgment or questioned his ethics or genetics.
shit, there's thread on the Farm asking "who's Moonshineman?", and there are a lot of sharp growers and long time vets there, so to say everyone or most knew of him up until recently would be a flat out lie.
for future reference, speaking for myself, i think it would be best if the Mrs or the Mr speak for their company if RDMI is not willing to answer certain questions that is to be expected from customers who's invested their time and money into the company itself. and if the Mrs and Mr does not choose to answer them, let that be on them and not on someone who has no value other than stirring potential customers away.
i think what most don't get or seem not to understand is how is someone more than willing to take all the fame for something that he himself didn't create (but is more than willing to share), but don't want the responsibilities that come with job. seriously , did you expect for people to spend there money and not ask any questions period? if it really was like that, what purpose does the description for these strains serve? answer would be to give someone an idea of what to expect with the finish product if one decides to purchase such product. also, most don't provide us or some with all the rest of the info that one may feel he/she may need, such as sensitivities and specific flowering methods that some of these strains require, to grow them successfully that some of us outside of clone only land are not familiar with.
honestly, if these questions irk you that much why keep up with playing such role if certain aspects of it is so offensive and intolerable?
