[QUOTE="finestcomics, post: 323448, member: 4368"] Posting on a platform of awareness in a forum does not mean I am targeting any particular group, community member or individual. There are a number of people who have posted here who I recognize from RS, TIG, and Facebook groups. It's a glimpse into the degree of fragmentation happening in vintage collecting which does require an awareness pitch like mine to ask for assistance from group members to help spread the word. I'm not sure where you are basing the accusatory or bombastic tone, but that was directed particularly toward one individual who was both ridiculing, and behaving nonchalantly to my concerns - in a manner reminiscent of the droves of hard heads on Facebook who simply will not and cannot be convinced repros are bad for the hobby. My handling of that particular viewpoint is on me, and I don't care to debate if my style or approach isn't to your taste or liking. Moreover, I've always been about keeping the hobby honest, and I refuse to stand-by and see anyone promoting damaging and deceptive practices. If, after everything that's been said, you still feel none of the concerns I've raised apply to your way of collecting, or that there is no harm or foul, then know that it still comes to proactive disclosure trumping anyone's selfish reasons for hiding the truth about what they've done to the toys they own and/or are planning to sell.
