I have read a bunch of this thread now, that I somehow missed before.
I am a strong supporter of pinside. I would get internally aggravated if someone said to me “pinside is toxic”.
I do not agree. Never have.
I have always felt pinside is the simply like the playground.
I love the playground. I have a lot of good reasons to love the playground and pinside. Saved my actual life. It did. When I had a stroke and 3 brain surgeries.
The pinside network found out I was dying and held a tourney. To save my life.
So yes, pinside. I like you a lot.
