Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

And if I am being totally honest it seems as though there are quite a few people who never got over their High School teenage girl drama

I don't blame you.
Research and ask questions is my best advice.

OP, sounds like you have a lot to learn and you are willing to do so, which I commend you on. Although this is less than an idea situation, is it not an uncommon one, and it's clear to all including yourself that you over-reacted. Chalk it up as a learning experience, and take whatever constructive feedback you can from it. It is essential to do so, because if this reaction becomes habit, people will be hesitant to sell to you. All the best moving forward.

I can't say that I completely disagree with you, but it's a bit puzzling to me that you would rather contribute towards the very thing that you dislike instead of discouraging it by ignoring it?

The people who run this forum are not the opinion police. Express your opinion if you like, but also allow others to express theirs, even if it is in direct conflict with the way you think things should be. The people who run this forum do care if opinions or actions violate forum rules. If no rules are broken, then we are not about stop a debate simply because one side cries foul.
Your choice to be here and participate is up to you.

This is the BOI, (the I stands for inquiry, which is what seems to upset you), and is set up to help people not get scammed. Often, there are those with experience as well as community input, and each person taking the time to post brings a different and perhaps valuable perspective.
Rather than being upset at the quantity of participation, one might be thankful for all those wanting to help. I do believe that participation in the BOI whether it be reading, posting, or checking before purchase, significantly decreases the incidence of scams.
It is not unheard of to see the original tenor of a post change as new perspective is added. The truth is not always a short path.

That's good, and I don't want stop people from expressing their opinions it just seems to me calling people thieves and Crooks right out of the gate would violate the terms of service and that the people who run this board and I would assume collect money from the advertisers wouldn't want to look so bad, it always seems to be the same group of people who pile on. If I were an Advertiser personally I might rethink how my company looks in that regard. With that being said I am doing as you stated..... using my choice to participate and comment unless or until the powers-that-be prevent me from doing so

And just out of curiosity why am I getting a warning on here and nobody else when others have done exactly the same as I have done? Doesn't that kind of prove my point?

OFF TOPIC discussion is not allowed on the BOI or in the classifieds. I don't know how many other ways this can be stated - take it to the FEEDBACK FORUM if you have questions or issues with the way the site is run. That is why you are getting yet another warning, we are trying to HELP you understand how this site works. Want to reply to my post? Don't... take it to the feedback forum. Thank you.
