[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3315152, member: 31533"]The cult-like followers I can handle, i.e., to each their own, and they generally don't care if you don't want to collect these issues, like them, or even if you are kinda 'meh' about it, in that you might or might not get real satisfaction in owning one. The almost cult-like demonizers are more difficult to deal with, because not only do they not like these issues seeing the light of day, and prefer not to have them in their collections (obviously) but they seem to be on a mission to create hate towards the creator and stigmatize or antagonize the people who are ok with them, primarily by attacking on the 'it's really counterfeiting' (even though, clearly, he'd have been, at the least, shut down by the government by now if they believed that or thought they had a great case, since he is so out in the open) basis. But sometimes using a tactic of saying it is not 'really' numismatic but some sort of (dang, I don't think I can get away with using the word I'm wanting here) version of a numismatic item, and somehow even more horrible than the Chinese type counterfeiters. News alert: It isn't. Not the same thing. It is art on a different level, in a world where some collectors just can't stomach the thought that others might actually want them, compounded by Daniel Carr's temerity to use actual legal coinage as his base.[/QUOTE]
