Hate is a strong word.

Scamming, in my book, equals dishonesty. Blatant Misrepresentation.

Honesty = Reputation = Everything, in any regard of life. If I felt I was deceiving people - or being dishonest witrh them in any way, I'd stop doing what I was doing and do something else in an instant. Life's too short for that shit.

To equate pro-am content with scamming is asinine. It's fantasy - there's typically a disclaimer that says so. And, that aside, that's like saying "Forest Gump" is a scam because Lieutenant Dan didn't really get his legs blown off.

To say "caveat emptor" is an excuse to scam is also ridiculous... the idea is a general rule of doing trades since before the ancient Sumerians.

I agree peeps need to keep tabs on themselves, but to insinuate that the industry is inherently dishonest is profoundly stupid, imho.
