Since assholes generally don't know they're assholes (have no idea why that is) I'd say your comment is a nice thought but a tad naive. Assholes will never stop being assholes. They'll never stop posting as assholes either, and never stop making their assholish comments.

I'm sorry, are you addressing me personally? If so I rest my case on assholish comments.
But on the off chance you mean "you" as in "you all" I'd have to agree with you.

You first. I'd love to see your answer. Me, I've pondered that question for pretty much the entire dozen+ years I've been in this business and still haven't got an answer. However, I've been in several other businesses mostly in mainstream and I'll say this: there are a certain amount of scammers in every industry. Why? Again I have no idea.

I'd say it's about even. I know a lot of people here who I would have no trouble doing business with. Many here I HAVE done business with over the years. Which brings me back to my earlier point about learning to be a better judge of character. Perhaps you should try it as well?

Doubtful. Rip somebody off, take payment on a service and then don't deliver, etc, and you're pretty much going to be labeled a scammer by everyone, including me. Maybe a fellow scammer might see it different though, I don't know.
At any rate there's no point in dwelling on why there are so many scammers around. Better to learn how to avoid them, at least in my opinion, which is why I posted.
