Begsu1013 A good man

[sushihotwings]

Hi all. I don't post here much but lurk often. I would have posted on the controversial thread with the cat photo, but it was closed before I had an opportunity. Leon has made his decision and I respect it. It is his board. The photo has been around for awhile and I am not sure why Bob felt compelled to post it. A momentary lack in good taste I guess.

That being said, I have always had positive interactions with Bob. I sold him a very high value card and he was always professional. He is very knowledgeable about cards and helpful to others in my experience. I cannot speak for everyone"s dealings with the man but I can't let his integrity be questioned while he is banned and he unable to reespond or defend himself go by without giving my input on my dealings with him which have been highly positive. He did not ask me to write this and I have not spoken to him about that thread or even in the past couple months. I hope Leon finds it appropriate to give Bob a second chance if Bob decides he would like to get involved again on Net54.

I won't defend what Bob did. But I too have had positive interactions with him and feel he's is very knowledgable and willing to share that knowledge. I also respect Leon's decision but just wanted to chime in and hope in time Bob is able to contribute here.

So what happened?

[CMIZ5290]

Just saw the post, I don't agree with it...People need to get a better view on animals, they are getting abused enough as it is......

[Sean1125]

Bob should not be banned and it is absurdity to see him banned. A negative direction for the board to ban people for a bad joke. I've never had anything but positive interactions with him.

[Gradedcardman]

I agree totally with both Kevin and Sean. So much cruelty is directed toward animals who have no defense yet let him learn a lesson and get a second shot on the boards.

[Leon]

He will probably be let back soon if he wants to come back.... As soon as I can get that disgusting picture out of my head.

And Sean B., you told me some time ago the board needed to change. Well, just like I told you then, it's not changing. It's staying the course. This wasn't a bad decision on my part (suspension, at minimum) and the direction of the board is the same direction from day 1 (of my tenure).
What Bob did was unacceptable, at least on this board, and if anyone doesn't think so then that is their opinion and I disagree. One other comment, I don't think Bob is a bad guy, don't dislike him and I trust him. That doesn't change my feelings on what he did though.

Did any of you actually read why Bob got banned? Seriously you all act like it was for one post. Leon explained he has been a pain in the ass for a long time and it was this accumulation of things and not just the sick dead cat post.

I hate banning as much as the rest but just remember it is not your sandbox we all play in.
