Oh boy! Sparks are flying...
You guys at it, why bother, we're in the 'green' forums here... sure, it's disconcerting concerning the threats about the GT, but in the end the smurfs got scared and never showed up. Blue is a dying species folks, so let's not get our socks in a bun. You guys vented here, that's good. I don't know which SPs got threatened 'before' the GT even, but if they did, they gave away their numbers to the smurfs somehow, or how else would they get threatened? They'll learn to avoid them in the future... Ban the numbers from your phones girls.
As for clients who have been close to some smurfs... well, the boards are here to share your experiences, why you would chose to hang-out with some other hobbyist and share personnal info with them outside of an event like a GT, that is beyond me... I guess some of you are kind gentle hearted spirits, so trustworthy and all. Shame. It's this same naivety that will end you up in a bait and switch scam. Careful careful. Your life is private, leave it so, don't share to much with either an agency owner or another hobbyist. As for what you share with an SP, that's up to you...
Most agencies don't want anything to do with the smurfs anyways, I can name one or two agencies who really don't appreciate them... I'll refrain from naming them... But some agency owners have gotten into big fights with the smurfs for the bullshit they've pulled.
Well that's my grain of salt. Why don't you all take a deep breath and simply ignore the poor bastards, because you're giving them the only thing they wanted. Attention.
