SPOT ON!!

Well said ... everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

I have learned that my opinion really only matters to me - no need to have to push it on "others".

Wish "others" would offer same courtesy!

It appears to me that if most small minded souls would spend less time in whine & belittle mode & more in some productive mode, they might find less to be so jealous of!

Tristan, he's just small minded. A lot of people are that way, and tend to let ignorance dictate their thinking. It also sounds like he is a rude and unhappy individual. It's too bad you had to bear the brunt of it.

My three Rolex watches give me pleasure, each in its own way. They also serve a purpose which is more than I can say for lots of expensive stuff I see people collecting.

Everyone's a critic. As far as I'm concerned, this is OK as long as the person is well-informed and/or is well-read on the object/subject of the criticism.

What pisses me off is criticism backed by ignorance.

Sadly, that is why I keep my Collection/hobby/addiction/whatever you call it with Rolex private! Well, except with all of you! Neither of my best friends know of my collection.
