It is nice for the hobby to get the exposure - but it goes to show that when someone goes in with a predisposition, a pre-written story, and an agenda, it will paint a picture that is, in many ways, opposite of the actual reality.

Yes, he probably had an "agenda".....but many of the stereotypes are true.
