Please pinpoint out the replies that were deemed as rude, thanks...
Hmm, I also need to refer to the dictionary for answer, give some time...

it may not seemed rude to people within the circle, but to 1st time poster, it can be.
"lame way.....pura pura to act as part of the TF gang...."
that line alone is quite offensive to some people. let say i want a quick answer, i may post a simple question with pictures(at least i took the time for the pics), with that kind of reply, i'll be really intimidated. just because i've started to post doesn't mean i'm not a long time TF fan.

disagree wit ya zero, cozz getting started after TFTM does not mean they r not TF fans. I guess most of us here do not like to boast of their collections becozz they know in terms of NUMBER, there r always ppl who has more, we just collect wat we like NOT for competition, and that's called FANS.
i didn't say if you've just started your'e not a fan. but you cannot simply assume people who just started to post as "pura pura fan" can you?(not directed to anyone). they may well be a fan since the 80's but just kept the passion to themself. i didn't comment about boasting.

This thread was NEVER about how many TFs we have in our collection... And there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with being a beginner collector, everyone has gotta start somewhere...
yes indeed. it's not about the numbers, but with the numbers comes the pride. with pride comes arrogance. put it like this, after the TFTM hype, you decide to be a tf fan. you're lucky enough to be able to obtain what people took years to collect, in a few months. your arrogance took control and starts bashing people that's not within your circle.
