Default I cant belive I authenticated the whole thing.

shellyjaffe,

This is exactly the problem with your pointed critism, and my response above. You now say, "I only went by his forgery statements where there was no mention of cards." How do you know he said this? Because it had quotations around it? How can you condemn someone based on statement or statements in an article written by a third party?

All I'm saying is that if you "only went by his forgery statements where there was no mention of cards" you are assuming that the writer of the story got it 100% right. I, for one, know this is rarely the case, especially from articles written on a topic where few expert journalists exists. I doubt Colleen Long of AP is an expert in our hobby, let alone authentication.

Look back and see what you've written, point by point, about one individual based on this story and think inward as to how you'd like to be repeatedly slammed by someone based on an inaccurately written article about yourself.

I doubt you'd think it would be fun or amusing.
