I don’t have anything against trading, collecting, breeding, multiplication or even distribution and sale of seeds here on OG in #trading-post category. If you do it as individual or just for the community (giveaways, auction of few packs) you can do it freely, if you do it commercially you better support us first and let me know.
F2s and hybrids have been made for years and I don’t think they can jeopardize someone’s business (after all the same can be said about clones, etc.) I’m not judging ethics or morality of it… But unless I’m contacted by anyone “officially” claiming that topic here is infringement of his copyright or intellectual property it is all green light.
But what I really care is how people treat each other. Don’t forget that your freedom ends where another’s freedom starts and we need to respect ownership. So just don’t judge how anyone is treating their ownership. If they want to give it away, that’s OK, they don’t want to offer it for free for your project, then fine. They want to sell it for million dollars, that is purely up to them.
So please stop attacking each other with labels like cash hoarder and stop competing who has done more for the community. It is just about respect.
You can criticize some facts and point out to something irrational in their statements, but do it just once then leave it as it is… Don’t push it. We don’t have any power (or privilege) to “teach” other people or change their behavior. Never demean to insulting others!
There is slightly more tolerant approach in #sharks-tank, but here outside the Tank we won’t tolerate any abuse.
