I will acknowledge that I am a bit of a grump, at the very least, but I am in no way being a bully.

Yes, and they are wrong about it frequently, and I grumpily send them emails to point out their mistakes often.

Better to teach the new guy correctly, than to wait until he's an old grump.

Exactly, by any logical way of thinking "1 of 1" means "unique" as in "there is only one, and this is it".
The card being discussed is not unique, therefore my grumpiness has nothing to do with this conversation, but the "1 of more than 1" nature of the card does.

You have. at least temporarily, positioned yourselves above trolls and other such creatures. Congratulations!
There may be hope for us yet...

I suppose that could make this thread very "1 of 1".
