From one that has enjoyed this hobby on and off since I first flipped Play Ball cards in 1940 ... I agree with your positivity stand.
I'll be one of the first to pat some one on the back when they add something to the hobby.
I'll also be one of the first to point out a detractor, or subtractor (my word
) in our hobby.
I prefer the positivity in the hobby, but if we take the ostrich approach ... history will repeat itself.
I found that out in the 1990 Texas national, when I tried to alert dealers about Danny Dupchek AKA Dr Koos. --- He came back to haunt them.
Let's applaud the positive, but we can't afford to close our eyes to the negative.
Again Damian ... Welcome aboard!
