So I’ve been playing around over at swapbot, and in the one-on-one trades board I got into the tagging games, where one person posts and there’s an ongoing chain of sending to the person who posts before or after you.  Yesterday, I got the most wonderful homemade soaps from the crafty-tag, and wow, they smell fabulous!  I love mixed craft message boards, there’s soo many great handmade things that other people do, I like the idea of making soap but I’ve not trried it yet, so I can someone a crocheted case for their phone and someone wioll send me soap.  It’s a great system, as long as everyone is honest.

Which brings me to my problem, the person I was supposed to send to ended up being banned for being a selfish greedy swap-lifter before I sent to them, so I’m sending to someone they were supposed to send a couple things to.   And, until I send out that package, I will not use the wonderful soap; because if I didn’t send to someone, I’m just as bad as the nastynasty who stole dozens of peoples’ work.  Yeah, I know I’m being a bit harsh on myself, it’s almost a good thing that I was late sending out the crochet goodies to that no-goodnik, she’s under investigation for mail fraud!  It’s just awful when people find things like swap-bot and think it’s just a handout for them from the trusting, good people who send what they say they’ll send and expect everyone else will do the same.  It’d be harder on me if I still had that crazy idealism that made anarchy make sense, some people just don’t care about right and wrong, only what serves them, until those people are done and over, there will need to be rules to help the rest of us deal with them.
