This is the problem with online forums, it's so hard to tell what people mean when they post something. In daily life it's easy to read voice inflections and facial expressions to determine the meaning, but in forums you don't have that to go by. Did he say "you love treasure craft?" as in "Wow, finally someone else who appreciates it like I do!" Or did he mean "Why in the world would anyone collect THAT?" Or maybe something in-between. Only he knows for sure, maybe he can clarify what he meant. Certainly if he meant the latter then you are entitled to feel insulted by it. Anyone who collects anything lives in a glass house and shouldn't go down that road. I don't like Witco, but clearly a lot of people do and I can at least respect that and share their joy when they find that certain piece in a thrift store that made their day. And who knows, tastes change. What a person doesn't like today they may suddenly find interest in later. How many people were collecting Witco 10 years ago? I bet people were throwing it in the trash then!
