I really appreciate the Madison Poster Company, and acknowledge that their posters aren't for everyone, and aren't the cheapest that have ever been produced. But they are lovely for those who appreciate such decorative, nostalgic stuff.
"
At our local hobby shop, the only people who buy the Trotta-Thomas boxcars to pull behind those silly green tinkerbell engines are older women of the type who are fans of the "Golden Girls". They know nothing about trains, but want a pretty decoration under the tree.
Postwar train enthusiasts have different tastes, generally. But I definately expect someone to chime in here and say how much they love this Trotta stuff, the zombie trains, roadrunner gondola or whatever other goofy stuff comes out"
Yo. One man's goofy stuff is another man's (or woman's) fun stuff. Critiquing other people's taste in hobbies, particularly in public is condescending, rude and insensitive.
Why in the world would anyone find it necessary to post such corrosive, contemptible
acid? Is it necessary to one's ego to feel so superior to those older ladies with different tastes? Those older ladies are someone's mother, sister, wife or grandmother and it is really, really bad form to ridicule people for growing old, liking old TV shows or different trains than one's self.
