Vent: the guy at the dollar bin gatekeeping Silver Age X-Men

Last Saturday at the half price book warehouse off I-35, I was flipping through a long box and this older fan walks up, sees I'm holding UXM #44, and goes "you know that's a reprint, right?" I said yeah, I just like the cover. He then spent 10 minutes telling me why the original is better, how I should focus on Claremont's run, and that I'm wasting my time on filler issues. I didn't even get to say I collect for the art. He finally left when his wife called him over. Has anyone else had a random collector try to steer your buying choices like that? What's the weirdest gatekeeping you've run into at a con or shop?
