I'm glad I wasn't similarly confronted! And is especially unfair when the game looks so good and there is so much to admire. I hope you won't have to deal with any such people in future.Cambria5622https://www.blogger.com/profile/17042699974420383994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-73382421247546635112015-07-20T17:43:04.447+01:002015-07-20T17:43:04.447+01:00Great write up and pics..

Asking them when they are next displaying their own creations for the admiring public apparently is a fairly effective way of getting rid. moghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747639551023726158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-86072868779003978892015-07-20T15:31:51.818+01:002015-07-20T15:31:51.818+01:00Boring folk I can cope with.

The hobby has it's fair share of single interest, socially awkward people and I try to be tolerant and polite but yes, it can become tricky - I feel your pain :)<br />This guy wasn't interested in helping us be better, or sharing knowledge or having a conversation. He was looking for errors with the intent of pointing them out and making people feel bad. Sociopathic behaviour. <br />James, being far nicer than I engaged him in conversation. I walked away.

I listened politely (well, I'm not sure how polite I came across after one of them started to seriously bore me!), which gave my voice a rest so I could continue talking to those who were genuinely interested.Cambria5622https://www.blogger.com/profile/17042699974420383994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-17013468713458607102015-07-20T14:31:24.080+01:002015-07-20T14:31:24.080+01:00Thanks Peter,
