I haven't insulted anyone. I've merely questioned how it is personally insulting. I've repeatedly said you don't have to like it. In fact, I don't like it. But I'm not personally insulted, and it makes no sense to be. The fact that you take what I've said as an insult only drives the point home that you clearly tend to take personally those things that are not personal attacks at all.
If you are truly interested in what I collect, I share it a little at a time. I'm currently sharing pieces of my Larkin collection in Todeen's thread over on the modern board. I collect Cincinnati Reds, and Cincinnati Reds only. I collect all eras of Reds, from modern players to pre-war Reds. I have complete runs of Ted Kluszewski, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, Johnny Bench, Tom Seaver, Ken Griffey Jr, Joey Votto, and Scott Rolen. Additionally, my main PC is Barry Larkin. I am currently working on getting every hall of famer to ever play or manage the Reds pictured on cards wearing Reds uniform. As I draw near to completion of that project, I hope to employ the help of experts here in identifying cards I may have overlooked. For pre-war HOF, tracking down sets can be hard, and I have found some guys who don't appear to have ever been pictured as a Red (Christy Mathewson, for example). If you want to see a lot of what I share, you can see it on my Instagram @Redlegs_Collector.
I love the hobby and making friends who are like minded collectors. I never sell cards. Once they enter my collection, they are there to stay. I have many close friends in the hobby and on these message boards and facebook groups. Without them, my collection wouldn't be what it is. I'm not here trying to insult anyone. I was merely trying to make people see how it isn't personal and they shouldn't take it that way. It's a miserable way to live to feel personally attacked by every little thing, even when it's not personal at all. If anyone can read this thread and realize they may be overreacting, it would be a good thing. No ill intent intended at all. I am really sorry you took offense. You have just been so defensive with your position, responses might feel directed at you.
