My "Newbie Collectors" Rant

I read somewhere in one of the Facebook toy collectors group how "older collectors" can be rude in treating younger/newer ones, and here is my response:

Hey rookie! Did you ask something about a similar thing to yourself? Why are you treated that way? Don't you know that even in Physics, our teachers taught us that every action, there is always an equivalent reaction? Or you are maybe skipping school too much to even heard of that?

Didn't your WWE taught you "to know your role, and shut your mouth"? Or can't you just listen more to your John Cena and find a way so we CAN'T SEE your posts?

Yes, the way you post is one big reason why some of us "OLDER" folks seem be "rude" at you. Let me summarize some of the reasons why your claim of disrespect happens...

1. Your post itself is either directly disrespectful (e.g. "I want this toy, point me where I can get it." Seems the word "please" was not taught by your parents, kiddo!) or your spelling and, grammatically and logically incorrect posts disrespect many of the older folks' intellect.

2. You think of the word collecting as equivalent to cash.

3. You are too lazy to browse rules before posting.

4. Your jejemonish way of posting makes you really look stupid.

5. Your spelling and grammar don't help either.

6. You post your "for sale" items where in many of your items can easily pass us trash. Quit giving me the cliche "one man's trash can be other man's gold" for crying out loud, unless you have a plastic recycling machine at your house, that won't pass here, newbs.

7. You think that the words "UP" and "BUMP" are valid responses to inquiries.

8. You respond to posts with prices labelled already with "LAST PRICE?", "If it is priced lower, I will get it.", "Please reserve to me until end of time, err... this month." and the most irritating post: "Ganda nito, kaso di kaya ng budget (This one's very good, but I can't afford it.) Kiddo, remember the poster posted his thread as for sale, not for appreciation. If you can't afford it, have the control to stop typing and posts away (in this case, FB's "enter-post" capability is not delivering good result, it encourages more people to post first, and never think back of their posts ever!).

9. In a "What's out locally?" thread, you post "Where can I find...?" SMH!

10. You feel you are being disrespected every time someone posts a correction or something really informative about your wrong information. Inferiority complex? Loser mentality? Whatever. Friendly advice, study, build your confidence, eat brain foods. It will help, believe me.
