You publicly announced that you would be happy to receive post review requests on LoyceV's thread .

Yes I did. That doesn't mean I'm guaranteeing merits to anyone who PMs me, and I don't think I have to make a whole bunch of disclaimers to that offer, such as the fact that I reserve the right to refuse certain members based on factors I believe make them unworthy of being merited. So there you have it.

I did not BEG you for merits. You say something and turn to do something different. I made a post review request to a merit source who publicly said he welcomes post review. A rejection from the Pharmacist wouldn't kill me, self medication will

Only thick-skinned people with tough constitutions survive here for years; that's what I've observed. And most important lessons learned in life usually have an element of harshness attached. But more importantly, newcomers to bitcointalk who start creating a big presence right away are more often than not viewed with severe skepticism, if not outright hostility. Why? Because they're the ones who usually came here to start earning money as soon as they can, and they're the ones who break the rules most frequently and waste other members' time, because they have to sniff out plagiarism or alt accounts, report posts, give out negative trust, etc.

In short, most newbies like you are a huge pain in the ass. High maintenance and low value. Not all newbies are like that, of course, but the ones who make it up the ranks are the exception, not the rule.

I will survive
