What Is Going On...

I totally agree with you Tommy.I have not not been into collecting mask but maybe 3 years or so and only a member here a year or so.I use to always be really excited about posting new scores.Like you said 9 out of 10 times you have a smartass make a belittling comment about it.There are some really wonderful members here that have always been helpful when someone has a question.You will always have the few bullies who have a smart comment no matter what the topic is.I believe this makes them feel superior to the new collector,new painter,new mask maker, or what have you. When I first found this forum, I was really syked about being able to talk with people who were schooled in mask collecting, painting and so forth.Granted there are many helpful members,but the longer I have been here the more nervous I have become about posting a piece I have worked on or asking questions.Just for example, I have never painted a hockey mask only latex mask.I was wanting to post a few questions about painting hockey masks but I thought to myself nah, someone will have a smartazz remark and I did not post my questions. I can say its a blessing to have a forum like this to come and sale items, inquire about things, and find out whats new in the collecting community.People should really appreciate it and not take it for granted......
