I personally have no problem with this thread. It was a one time deal, an estate sale that many collectors on this board would have liked to take part in.

This is a public board, the public callout is the best way to get results. PMs in this regard aren't worth anything. And I seriously doubt that Carol wants recieve umpteen messages from the rat brigade every time she logs in.
<< <i>It's like a long lost uncle who you haven't seen in 10 years coming into your house and telling you how to run your family, or he doesn't agree with your values. It's like dating someone and after the second time telling them they should color their hair, or cut it, or you don't like their clothes.
I will apoligize Eels for cash or whatever...
It always bothers me, and always will when someone with no relationship to anyone here starts giving their opinions on how things should be. Forget that it's Rick for a second as everyone knows I am a fan, and use him to sell my inventory. Haven't we all heard feedback without a relationship is considered harrassment? Well if not you just did.
That's what it's like when someone who has like 19 posts explains how it should be, or gives an opinion on something personal. I told that to someone else last week. I will own those feelings, but I can't stand it, but I will say how I feel.
Take part of a group break, talk about Josh Hamilton, post your cards, give opinions on up and coming stars, feedback on a oversized Mantle, something other than about rules around here. Nobody cares what you have to say honestly, because you haven't acclimated yourself. Mike and Dave gave you good responses, they are great members here.
So bring some value before you bring your opinions, it's more meaningful once people know what you bring to the table... >>
I'm not giving my opinions--these are the forum rules. This forum is not for spamming and that Probstein's thread clearly violates it. Furthermore, while others who have tried the same get bashed and told to remove their thread by others here, this one remains and is defended by you and others. For a guy that doesn't care about what I have to say, you sure are coming back frequently and posting your own rambling opinions, most of which make no sense.
Everyone knows you're a fan of Rick? You don't say? Did you not get the memo that the lap dance was supposed to end 10 minutes ago? Now you're just putting out for free.
From what I can tell, of your 23 posts, none of them have been of any value to anyone here. No mention of cards, only stupid remarks and half of them directed at Rick.
The board takes into consideration a poster's entire body of work. Taking yours into consideration, I would say your opinion is absolutely meaningless to everyone here.
If I have missed a post where you added anything on point to the discussion, please let me know and I will consider changing your stats from the current 0 for 23.
Sorry, just calling a "spaid a spaid ".
The best pitch to start a hitter off with is always strike one.
<< <i>I appreciate the thoughtful responses Mike and 70Topps.
I am just calling a spaid a spaid here. Honestly, I don't see it as my job to inform Probstein via PM that he's violating the rules. That's his job as a responsible forum citizen--not mine. You guys love him to death--that's great. I like consistency on the boards, and when he clearly is spamming, I will continue to call him out.
Mike--thanks for being intellectually honest about the fact that he gets a pass when MANY, MANY others do not. >>
This thing was back from December before the next post. Sunny Dee was just bored, and us responding is like giving a 6 pack to Josh.
I haven't dealt with PWCC, but if he wants to come on here from time to time, I'm okay with that too. What's the difference from an invitation to a card show? Basically the same thing. Plus with the hoard that was originally discussed, I think most of is if living close by would have jumped at the opportunity.
Okay I'm moving to the sidelines unless personal attacks put me in the batter's box...

Yeah I thought you were an arsehole for a minute and couldn't figure out why you were contradicting yourself.
Now, should I do ice cream, or dunkin donuts coffee ?
