I hear you Curt, but I think throwing light on the dark corners of the hobby IS crucial. Yes the threads have gotten bogged down in lots of irrelevant nonsense, but I'd rather not have my head in the sand pretending it's all OK.
That being said I did also want to use this thread to remind us about how much there is still to love in this hobby, whether it's guys like Al from LOTG, or Brian Dwyer and the gang over at REA, to some local dealer giving away free cards to kids, or someone on the board sending you the last card you needed for a set with no strings attached. We've all, I hope, been touched by moments of generosity, camaraderie and good faith repaid in the hobby and it does my heart good to hear those stories from time to time, especially at times like this.
Thanks for focusing on the positive!
