By more than a little....

You are entitled to feel however you want, but the DSM-5 has a different opinion on hoarding disorder. Also see defense mechanisms - rationalization and intellectualization.

But in all seriousness, I did say my sentiment would not be appreciated by many and the reasoning as to why has to do (IMO) with the decades of inculcation and programming that we've all experienced.

I've been visiting the website regularly for a little over a year now but just don't take time comment often.

I hear you, but given the skeleton crew here, coverage of large events like SDCC are a real challenge. Taking a moment to report on one figure and the nuanced details behind its creation may not be very feasible when you have an entire show to cover. I'm sure Jean will be discussed in some panel.

I see now that you've been here a year or so...well, welcome to the commenting crew! Lurkers, former lurkers, and routine commentators are all welcome within this band of misfits!

Haha! Yeah, the hypocrisy in that is pretty blatant. There have been some famous completionists here, but everyone has a lane and I try not to begrudge people their minor peccadilloes.


Sooo, who's buying the Suits 2pack??? I hate that bum Deadpool and Hit Monkey is such a lame idea, but I gotta have it...cuz I buys everything!!!
