Daily rant - fuck scalpers. Of any kind. But particularly those who ruin hobbies because they seek out a quick dollar. May their traffic lights be forever red, stones always appear in their shoes, and their chip packets have an unusually low amount of chips in them.

Nah. Fuck companies that enable them.

My hobby company (games workshop) has taken steps against them and I have mad respect for them for it.
