[QUOTE="Log Potato, post: 2458337, member: 26787"]I have all sorts of minor pet peeves, but my major one is with [I]some[/I] other collectors. The need to discredit, criticize, bully, etc. other collectors for what they collect and/or what they spend on their collection. I was reading on a forum once where a well known collector of high MS coins called people who collect circulated coins the "unwashed masses". If you know what I collect, it was a kick in the pants. I see on forums all the time about what people spend on toned coins. They call them idiots, fools and other insults to prove their point. Another issue is with people that prefer one grading service over another. Collectors from one side call the other brainwashed fanboys, elitists, etc. It's all so childish and immature. There are so many threads across the many forums that I would just love to tell people to grow up. It would do no good though.[/QUOTE]
