Sounds like you're projecting a lot of personal stuff into this. I don't see why anybody would defend darknet dealers. You can't be a responsible dealer if you don't know who you're selling to. Simple as that.

The next two paragraphs you wrote a bullshit though. You said you "made a choice." I suppose that was after you did some time, yes? What did you do before that? Deflecting and ignoring perhaps? Give them a chance to learn.
