You're right, lowlifes and scumbags need a place to chat!
Then you should find that place, because it's not here.
I know Johnvf as a young enthusiast who 'gets it'. He attends the annual AK party here in the Chicago area and usually brings something interesting and has a good ear. I go there mainly to check out what the guys are up to and to socialize, most certainly not to push anything. It's a low key friendly event, very laid back, with plenty to eat, too. I look forward to it for the comraderie most of all.
