There is no mal intent with my post and I thank you for not seeing it as such.
Like you, I'm a physician who was always taught to question. That's what I do everyday to understand why my patients come to visit me. Since 100% of my patients are women and I, as a man, will never have some of the same physical ailments I have to ask even more questions than perhaps my female colleagues. So I question, not out of spite but to understand since I obviously didn't get the message for your post.
But yes I understand how watches can cause people to be their worst at peacetime...these instances are usually with people connected to the industry not necessarily the brands. People leveraging their "specialized knowledge" for some gain. In fact it is the "average" collector, my friends at local GTGs who always demonstrate the best human qualities. Everyday people sharing their knowledge, time, and expertise on ThePuristS and PuristSPro independently.
That is why this grand old site will always outdo the new sites. Because we are independent. There is a Purist Code of Conduct and a Purist standard which has been established over time. We have always seen both negative and positive responses as human and credible, without censoring immediately. Integrity is the key for growing our site.
All the best to you, good health, and thanks again for your reply
