Don't judge everyone here because a few people are saying things you don't like. That's just the way any thread is like here, people are given lots of freedom to say and do whatever they want. Some will always abuse that privilege. I've read through this entire thread though and don't see anything happening that's too out of line, just people speaking their opinions whether we agree with them or not. I think it would be a good thing if people give themselves away as douchebags through their posts here, as least it makes your job a lot easier as you know right away who to avoid inviting. They are doing your work for you, no need to even consider them.
If your really serious about recruiting outside your usual circles, and I wouldn't consider FST part of that usual circle, you will have to be patient and dig through all the crap. You've been around FST longer than most of us and your fairly active here, so you should know all about the good and bad you can get here. It shouldn't be a shock at all, in fact some of us are pretty used to it by now and try instead to focus on the positives here. With my own giveaways I'm experienced enough to know exactly what to look for when I'm looking for candidates, the obvious idiots don't even merit me taking the time to dig through their post histories.
