Modern Section.

Technically the product the community was built around was Magic: The Gathering, the PLACE the community built ON was this ap.

False, the product you talking about is Wizards forums, not here. Here is the community based around iMtG the iOS MTG toolbox reference app.

But I am not here for Wizards, nor am I here for your toolbox, I am here for the reason that people talk about Magic here.
This forum exists here because your toolbox includes it if that's what you mean.
And I guess that means I am ABLE to be HERE because your toolbox has a forum in it, so roundabout logic could say im here because of your toolbox.
This doesn't read as well as I was hoping...hmm

I guess we just have different views on this one.

Although I love to see a couple parties disagreeing about something and having a conversation about said thing, I will be a voice of reason and say that this is pretty off topic and to get back to talking about the modern section.

As someone has mentioned above, the modern section itself is not there to simply post modern legal decks.  It's more for competitive decks, and potentially competitive decks.  What is potentially competitive is also a decent question.
A potentially competitive deck is something that you think will work in either an overall tournament setting, or at your local lgs, and that it is not necessarily a meta deck.  But now that that is described, what could a casual deck be?
Well it could be... I dunno... Casual?  Something meant for kitchen top games and such, but what is a way to differentiate the two?
Well you could say it in the beginning when posting the deck that you are trying this out at your LGS for *list of reasons here*, and you'd like to combat *whatever is meta at your LGS.*. Or if you're looking towards tourney play, say that when posting the deck.  This will help commenters truly know how to help you.  Another thing that could help is to post outcomes of your deck at FNM, kind of giving people results on top of what your purpose is.

This is an excellent suggestion. Props and positive karma to you.

Agreed

I like the idea of saying up front
"My lgs is overrun with ______, will this work?"

Yep, my original posts from when I first joined contained these little statements and it went far.

Our view is the same, it is just that part of your brain is believing something which is not true, that is why you find yourself in this confused state... You do not like the logic of your own thoughts, logic which disagree with the beliefs you had... Reduce your confusion by accepting this knowledge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance

The reason why you are here in the first place is not because you were lured by the people of this community to join us. You simply agreed to share the tool which you instinctively loved with the random people you found here, and after a period of time you developed relationships with them.

What started your Gathering journey was the Card Database not Gathering itself, is what I'm saying. What made you pick this MTG forum over thousand others was the toolbox app not BlackJester or Taysby. What are proverbial BlackJester and Taysby here for? Not for you
