What am I missing here? I'm looking for the sarcasm, but I'm not finding it.
Uh, Bruce, not sure if you intended it this way in your initial post, but your mention came across as critical of lower income collectors who are driven, in your opinion, by envy, outspokenness and lack of education to deride their wealthier collecting counterparts.
That's an offensive statement, and frankly, makes you look like an Alan Rosen-esque schmuck. (leon, can I say "schmuck"? If not, my apologies.)
If that's not what you intended to say, or you genuinely didn't get the insensitive and boorish nature of your comment, now would be a great time to clarify. Otherwise you've just needlessly blowtorched a lot of good will around here.
And please feel free to check my grammar for me. (Like most on the board, I suspect, I likely did not pay as close attention in my high school English class as you.)
