That there is abuse is sad...But true. part of it has to do with people who have minimal training (if any), or are driven to this hobby by ego "Gotta keep them bad boys" or are too stupid to be trusted with this kind of responsibility....I don't know how to screen the irresponsible from the positive people in this endeaver but there is the same problem with people who drink...or have guns...and nobody is saying that either of those should be totally banned.

We are dealing with a prejudice...one that is very easily justified by those of us who make mistakes or are just plain idiots. The result is the same. What is sad is the mindset in this crowd that they refuse to see what is coming...and when they do; are only capable of crying on this forum or making sage like commentary instead of doing something...Perhaps they deserve the loss of their collections and their rights...for not having the guts to defend them.
