Reddit Comment against LEGO investing

Someone posted a link to the USA Today article on the LEGO sub-reddit on reddit.com. http://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/15menn/usa_today_wrote_a_great_story_on_lego_as_an/ There really hasn't been much love for this site on there in the past, but I noticed we were getting a good amount of traffic from there today and wanted to see what was going on. I noticed a comment that I have seen on this site before and a few other forums. "This is why we can never find clearance lego or the larger sets on Buy 1 get one. These aholes hoarde all the sets at the expense of our children. Screw them , wont be buying their 129 dollar asking price for Minecraft lol." I honestly don't care about being called an "ahole", but its the fact that I have read several times that the children are the ones being affected by LEGO collecting and investing. Maybe I am missing something, but does anyone really feel that this is true in anyway? I personally think there is more than enough supply during production periods to cover any LEGO lover to get the set they want. Even the Minecraft set was available on the LEGO shop for the past several days. Anyhow, I was just blown away again with the fact that I read this type of comment again (maybe have seen it 5 times before this as well). I was glad to see a few other users told them it was a stupid comment, just wondering what anyone else thinks
