Sure, it'd be nice if everyone was friendly and accommodating, but reality tells us something much different. Would you not buy a coin from someone who dresses in a way you dislike? I'd like to think not, so why worry about the guy's personality if he has the coin you want and can get it at a price you're happy with. The point is your goal should be the main concern, so why not only let, but place the meaningless in your way? Sometimes it's simply in our best interest to set it aside.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
