Why is Jo Rivett so hated? Although appearing arrogant due to his knowledge from his forum interactions and interviews I've read, people seem to despise him for providing detailed research that has disproven many fakes items and apparently exposing a "mafia" mentality among some popular forums. I'm getting the feeling that there is an "old boys club" at least from US based forums, shows and interactions I've had. But if Jo really is exposing fakes and this club mentality he should be respected for that. Sure, he could probably get his message across a little more eloquently but sometimes it takes a little "shock culture" to get people to listen. To be clear I am not defending Jo or any of the accusations he's made or the people he's accused. I'm focusing on party badges and came across his book The Party Badge which led me down a rabbit hole.
