This has happened to me, though only to a small extend. Attacks from other people. This could be about art, or the way someone looks or what they collect. There are tons more, but due to the online circles this is sort of what I see the most.
As someone that was picked on when they were young, I do not understand the need to attack someone else even when they have hurt you or annoyed you in some way. This is the internet, there is seriously NO limit, so just go somewhere else.
Lately, some of my collector friends have been attacked by another collector because they choose to spend more money than the person attacking them is willing to do. As someone that is also not willing to pay a ton for my SM stuff I can see a little bit why they are upset, but do they need to attack them? No, not really. Sure I get jealous when I see someone have something I don’t have and want, but I am happy for them, I really am. I can learn something about it that I may not have before. If I’m lucky I’ll be able to find one for myself. Why do people have so much anger that they feel the need to take it out on someone else?
I could keep going, but it’s going to be a lot of the same wondering. Anyone want to discuss this?
