I do not know what you are being ragged on for doing, but I know this: 99% of the real chip collectors are straight up & don't care how you pursue your hobby. If there are a couple of mental midgets out there harrassing you, just ignore them. They lack the attention span to do anything for very long. Once they find out that you are ignoring their drivel, they will go find somewhere else to play. Hang in there.
