What I was trying to say should not be complicated . . .
Many times I have shown (in both word and action) how much I value our contributors, no matter if they buy picks or not. A single instance CANNOT BE FOUND of me treating a user as less than because they do not buy picks. Many instances CAN be found of me doing everything possible to encourage the contribution of free content by as many posters as possible.
Yet, it's a fact that one of the things which differentiates Pregame is the quality of our Pros, plus their level of participation in the community. The Pros are a part of so much of this site - far more than just the picks they sell - that if you believe the Pros to be generally untrustworthy - to be scammers who release big picks without really liking the picks - it's hard to imagine how you could enjoy the site overall.
I am always open to specific questions about this action or that action . . . and I have acted aggressively when an individual Pro has been proven to be untrustworthy . . . but I will strongly defend the generally trustworthiness and good intention of our Pros.
