Do you think this is odd??

Thank you both wptw and i'msohappythatiama for your viewpoints. It's too easy for me to forget that not everyone has the same reverence and respect for our badge as I do as a member, which makes it difficult for me to see so many badges for sale on eBay and other places. I understand the seller us just doing what he/she needs to do for their business, likewise I understand groups such as the Keepers and others from different GLOs are simply doing what they feel is right as a member of their GLO. The loyalties that tie members to their respective organizations are often very strong. Unfortunately, those loyalties also can lead to unpleasant situations, such as these, where parties on both sides feel they are in the "right" and the other is "wrong."

I guess the best we can do is educate each other and hope situations never get to the point where something really untoward happens.
