Bobby, you weren't blamed for their mistake. You were blamed for your overreaction to their mistake. Instead of just saying "this doesn't look like a 1987 Fleer back to me", you titled the link "Fake Jordan", thus accusing Mile High of fraud. The accusation was obviously baseless and that's what got you criticized. I know you think people are too quick to blame you for stuff around here, and sometimes you're right about that, but the truth is that you brought this one all on yourself.

You can offer me a million dollars anytime. After the hookers and blow, I'd probably go buy up every Ryan RC Milton Bradley I could find.

That was like a mutating virus, but it had some serious comedic value. In fact, if someone ever starts a "funniest thing you've ever read" thread, I know where I'm going with my vote. In the context of everything that was going on, nam's post on page 2 was oh so classic.

That's a stretch.

By Tabe's definition, you just accused Rick Probstein of fraud.

Sounds about right.
