Better question... how do we find our own self-esteem without denigrating others for making choices that are absolutely none of our concern?

Eh, a little gatekeeping is good. Especially when it prevents people with more dollars than sense from overrunning the culture of an enthusiast group.

Elaborate. Is your position that it is never appropriate to control access to something? That microcultures aren't worth preserving? That people with money deserve to do anything they want without judgment? Or do you just think I'm being disingenuous and used a commonly unpopular group to defend my position?
