Disappointed

The past few weeks have been a time of discovery. First, I found this subreddit and thought that I had found a group of people in an online-forum that shared my great enjoyment of candles. From this group, I found many new and fascinating candle companies and excitedly placed many orders that are just now beginning to arrive at my home. It has been fun to compare and explore the new brands that knowledgable members have shared, and chat about the various fragrance notes.

Yesterday evening, I received an order from a candle company that I also unearthed from this subreddit and anxiously awaited to tell everyone. Sadly, many people considered my post to be an unscrupulous attempt at sales and marketing. A few direct messaged me with snide comments that were hurtful. As a result, I have taken down my post and deleted all of my previous posts to this subreddit. I was really looking forward to posting future reviews/discussions about Lohn, Skandinavisk, Sohum, Uncommon James, Fvith, and others.

It appears the bullying and insulting continues in this group which is really discouraging for people like myself who just want to talk about candles.
