While Bruce made some good points, and some over the top ones, he always distances himself from the board and has no interest in making friends with anybody around here. And he knows very well when he posts that he will make many people angry, and he doesn't care a lick. He might even enjoy it. He always gives the impression that he is talking down to everyone and nobody likes that.

And this notion that the hobby is like a fight to the death is preposterous. 95% of the people who collect cards do so to get away from life's daily pressures. And for the other 5% who are very competitive, most are still friendly with the people they compete against to get the best cards. Even a lot of the set registry people compete because to them competition is good fun, not a deadly fight.
