Quote from: Local Trouble on Aug 17, 2022, 03:18:36 PMI don't see how Omegamorph implied all collectors either. And you've said more than once that Trazyn is your spirit animal, so I don't know why you're taking offense to it now.
This has really touched a nerve, hasn't it?
Omegamorph literally said that collecting is symptomatic of other conditions, and then you (correctly) connected the dots that in your experience collectors are hoarders. Otherwise what did you think Omegamorph meant, what were you agreeing with, and what did it have to do with your "in my experience collectors are hoarders" comment?
Similarly your train of logic was to chain off of Omegamorph's post (which you later acknowledged was about hoarding, as per above) and in the middle you compared me to a certain Necron. If you weren't implying that Trazyn (and therefore me) is a hoarder then why did you bring it up in the midst of hoarder-chat?
It touched a nerve because I'm a collector, you agreed with a post that said collectors have issues, and then you started talking about hoarders without some sort of clarification like "I'm not saying you're a hoarder or that all collectors are hoarders".
Worth pointing out that Trazyn isn't a hoarder anyway; he has a large and far reaching collection, but it is very specific things, it's organized and curated, and he doesn't just acquire stuff Willy-nilly.
But that's not what you meant by bringing up Trazyn in the midst of hoarder-chat.
