I go to bat for swerve despite troll commentary because of the opposite of your story. I have never asked for or received anything but straight answers from him, certainly I am not bought like some would insinuate. I haven't tried any of CC fem, but I avoid fem from all. Swerves regs are less herman prone than any other og/chem line I have tried. If legends hold they have them in the their genealogy therefore it is unreasonable to assume that there is no chance of herman showing up. That said, to swerve's credit his selection process is working out the line imho. I will even go as far as saying I have watched his drama unfold in several forums over the years and been kinda like wtf, but I feel like he just fell for being bated many times and just didn't know how to handle it. In the end I feel as though I owe him some gratitude for what it's worth, his work gave me exactly what I was looking for.
I find that the wisest men don't tout their wisdom, just share and debate their experience. All of us are guilty of being an ass hole at one point or another, sometimes its even fun ya! B)
