you are berated for travels because:
you use your travels here as a status symbol

Folks here smell hypocracy and insencirety and show off a mile away.
Every time I travel,
I bring something to share with others, make their lives more interesting and horizons expanded...
see the difference and the reason why I am never berated for mine?
...and I even have the link in my sig
;-)))

That is a perception. What folks think is what folks think. It is not a status symbol, it is my life. I understand you post a few pictures and that is a good thing. I have seen them and they are nice. Status is in the eye of the beholder. You use your money and position as a status symbol. Your over the top bets, your diatribes on how much money has been made or lost. Your rags to riches history. I don't really care if that is how you care to make your mark in the world. I just look at it as your little bit of chest beating. Not a bad thing. Everyone has to have a modicum of an ego. It causes us to strive to achieve. You know the Gecko theory.
"you use your travels here as a status symbol"
You need to look beyond your perception and wonder why it is you think this. Hell this is only an internet bitch board.
