We can never forget @Dyl and that faithful day where he went too far. Still can’t believe he said that.

It was terrible, I don’t know why he said that @Dyl really should start to consider making an apology for it

There are very few moments in my life that have changed me. Falling in love, the birth of my son and reading that dreaded post by @Dyl.

I consider myself a very resilient person and I would like to believe that nothing fazes me much, specially something that is online where you don’t see the person. But that post by Dyl…I don’t remember what it said. I can’t. I’ve wiped it from my active memory. I cant believe he did it.

Cheers!

I’ve tried to walk away multiple times but anytime I do Buyee knows and keeps on sending coupons. I’m only human, I can’t resist a bargain on Japanese promos

At this point it would be quicker to list the people that haven’t gone off the deep end. :rofl:

Gatekeeping is highly underrated. When properly applied it keeps toxic behavior out and helps the community thrive.

Anyway, my answer to this question can be summed up thusly- anyone who is in a hobby solely for financial gain can take a hike.

I hate to say this but I am more of a sealed collector than a card collector right now and I absolutely hate it. I am just scarred from mailing companies right now. I have gone off to the deep end of the “stonkers” label even though I’m not

I don’t think it is inclusive at all, but it is very social.

Over the years I have seen dozens of people that needed to walk away for a bit, some did and it worked wonders for them.
