I found a problem in DrugNerds.

I’m PaisleyZebra. I found a problem that has some roots in DrugNerds. I joined Reddit the day after I followed a Google search to Reddit’s “MDMA Supplementation” by MisterYouAreSoDumb and was blown away by what he had done and the depth of his research and knowledge. (Two weeks later I’m still researching as a result.)
* Then I found the (separate) Matznerd website where Matznerd copied MYASD’s work under his own name.
* Then I found Matznerd was also on Reddit.
* Look for yourself: Misteryouaresodumb: http://www.reddit.com/r/DrugNerds/comments/15m9sf/mdma_supplementation/ //////// Matznerd: http://matznerd.com/how-to-safely-take-mdma/
* -Same supplements are listed.
* -Same categories.
* -Same dosage amounts and dosage timings.
* -The order in which all of the supplements are listed is the same –with one exception.
* -It is recognizable by most of the other wording that had minor differences – and some are the exact wording.
* -Links to research papers are the same.
* -And at the top of the article, the word “By” is followed by Matznerd’s real name.
* -I put both up side by side and compared every detail and link.
* -And Matzne…

while taking credit for coming up with it
He credits you on his site, though it's in the "notes" section.
using referral links to profit off of it.
I get that, but he also took the time to compile a list of links to appropriate supplements that would otherwise be quite a hassle to do one's own, and he also has costs involved with keeping the site up and running so others can be safe(OP might not have found anything and rolled unsafely if it wasn't for his site). He is also transparent and openly admits that they are referral links. Also rollsafe is working on a supplement blend they plan to sell(i.e. profiting off your work). And raveaid.com has already been doing so for quite some time.
I'm just upset people are being so petty over a guy getting a couple cents through amazon referrals when the bigger picture is to just make sure everyone is being as safe as possible.
P.S. I love you and your work. Thanks for everything. My brain thanks you as well.

Yeah, I am not too concerned. I just see why people might feel like he is misleading them. I'm not losing any sleep over it, and probably would not have even noticed if people had not messaged me.
I am going to come out with a protection supplement eventually too. But I am doing a lot more research on some innovative ways to attack it. I am just so busy with the nootropics side of things at the moment. But there are a lot of cool ideas floating around in my head.
