What dont you like about this hobby

[Gary S]

That said, however, politically conservative, white males, can create an oppressive environment.

:cry:

I'm going to point out that any group of like-minded, politically similar people of the same race could seem oppressive. If I joined a knititng club which consisted of Afro-American radically-liberal communist lesbians, I would imagine that I best keep my mouth shut. Come on, guys! I haven't seen a single bit of oppression EVER in the model railroad world. What I have found is a tremendously helpful and gracious bunch of people who are enjoying and sharing the hobby. And, I would LOVE to hear some factual occurences of all this oPpResSioN that apparently is running rampant in the hobby.
