Well, I tend to stay out of the 'tough' posts 
and the controversial situations...and it hasn't 
really gotten me anywhere. The fact is, that 
aside from a few real friends, the rest of the 
people I've ever talked to in this community 
only respond to my posts when they want 
something, or when it gives them a chance to 
show off. And, I can count on my fingers the 
number of times I've actually been e-mailed by 
someone out of the blue. So, basically, I think 
my rant is: Just what the hell did I do to piss 
you guys off? Did I generate some bad karma 
early on and I don't even know about it? Was I 
deemed 'not worthy' because I started out in 
this hobby the naughty e-bay way? (forgive me, 
its where I discovered my first big market for 
anime cels) Am I one of those people that seems 
to be pissing off all these anonymous posters 
who have a 'problem' with the way others behave? 
I'm not on any dealer A-lists...like a lot of 
people, so I just don't get it. What does it 
take to be one of the 'cool cel elite'? I'm 
picking a fight and I know it...but so far, 
being nice hasn't gotten me any more liked than 
those that start flame wars, so I might as 
well.
