Thank you for your input. However, let’s be entirely clear about the sequence of events here.
The reason my early posts seemed "cryptic" or used my native language was simply due to the limitations of my mobile camera and the natural language barrier. I was doing my best to share my passion despite these hurdles.
The real issue is that instead of showing patience or asking clarifying questions, several high-ranking or veteran members immediately chose to dismiss my posts with childish inside jokes and deeply offensive, discriminatory remarks—such as mocking "cultural differences" and asking if I had a "medication problem."
That is not a "lack of immediate response due to time zones"; that is a blatant lack of basic human decency and respect from a toxic circle.
If this community truly welcomes reasoned discussion, those toxic behaviors should be called out, rather than lecturing a new member on how they should have posted perfectly from day one. I was able to deliver this definitive assessment because I spent time carefully analyzing my watch under a loupe, while others were busy playing internet trolls.
As you said, it is my choice—and my choice remains to distance myself from a space that tolerates discrimination under the guise of an "enthusiast community."
