This.
You have to remember 35+ years ago, and even up to today, there has been a near global prohibition on cannabis. Arjan, Gypsy, Scott, Neville, fuck, even Emery, were all operating in a black market. Some had good intentions, but at the end of the day had to operate in uncool ways simply for the sake of self-preservation.
It's been about 20 years now iirc when overgrow was raided. A lot of "good" players were taken down since the DEA ran their servers as a dragnet for a while after they seized the servers. Then you had the likes of GC and ICMag which collectively harbored any refugees that weren't arrested as a part of the OG collapse. Many of those subsequently ended up falling into the void due to the powers at those sites either drinking too much of the tea and going mad *cough*gypsy*cough* or were arrested due to opsec issues.
Today we have the likes of MMS and Katsu that claim to do "good" work but don't stand behind it. They're fine charging $200+ per seed pack but when 0/6 germinate, they put it on the vendor to deal with. Conversely we have Jeff who stands behind his gear and produces stable genetics -- not single run reversed fem only genetics with catchy kid candy names.
The truth is until prohibition is gone, anyone operating in this space, home grower to commercial breeder, operates on the margins of society, and they will act accordingly when their perceptions drive them to be some kind of way. Don't be fooled into the "good" or "bad" camp, make your own opinions. TBH I wouldn't touch any of the OG genetics at this point unless we're talking about heirloom cultivars from particular regions of the world. I don't want an original skunk, or blueberry, or og kush. Anything like that is guaranteed suffering from being genetically tired at this point, at least without being crossed with something to re-introduce vigor. Once you hit F5+ generations on seeds, the line will start to get tired and lose diversity.
TL;DR: people suck, especially in cannabis, and you're better off growing what you like and fuck anyone else's opinions of you or anyone else.
