My mistake Scott, I just interpreted it wrong. I apologize.
Happy 4th of July.

I think my major take away from this thread is that I may need to re-consult my Encyclopedia Brittanica re: how a caste system functions.

Who knew peasants had such arbitrary power in the face of the wants of the majority.

Have a happy/safe July 4th, n54ers!

Happy 4th to you as well. I am going to celebrate by not reading any internet discussion forum posts for the rest of the weekend.

thread saddens me.....

I hate discontent!

Leon must have a great reason for the banning....Rob did poke fun at me about my enthusiasm a lot, but I just chalked it up to him being a "pxxx"........because he was to me, a real "pxxx" but I let by- gones be by- gones..I just gave it back to him full force when he did....he never really could get a good come back on me, so I held my own when it came to Rob.....I'm sure he had his highs and lows......but I have to back Leon on this......I'm sure Rob must've stepped outta line too far this time for some reason and Leon had enough....

I know Leon must have a good reason for this ban and I have to truly stand behind Leon on this....

but I'm a sucker and a Libra......so I hope Rob and Leon work out any issues they have.....and, if Rob did step too far out of line, he should man up and apologize and move on.......I know Leon is a stand up guy and doesn't arbitrarily ban members without good cause.....

If your reading this.....I know you have a great rep with some collectors here.....I always respected you for your contributions to the RESOURCE also....you are good friends with some of my good friend collectors....I know me and you had our differences, but I forgive you.....if you got outta line in some way, please make good with Leon and the board....Leon is very cool and rational....we need great contributors such as yourself....and knowledge......I come bearing an olive branch to you and forgive you for your "digs"...

learn and grow from this......hopefully it will get ironed out and you will be allowed to return...

I WOULD BE TORTURED WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO READ CONTRIBUTE HERE!

I had a major problem with the way he treated you a few times. His thinly veiled and continuing insults, towards many members, are the reason for my distaste for him. His humor, at the expense of others, often times isn't very funny. I can take the veiled insults thrown my way, let most go when thrown at others....but when he screwed up the New Pick Ups thread with his joke...well, I had enough. But if you are good Johnny, so be it, if he wants to come back he can.

I really appreciate you getting my back! I am one of the few members who don't really deal with Rob, I have never been "aggressive" in anyway to him, but he always threw a dig on me for some reason, I just kinda chalked it up to a kinda of jealousy??? but some of my friends really like him - Brian W is one of them.....all of them really like Rob.....


I really don't know what I did to him, but I always come in peace....I didn't read the post in the pick up thread, but I'm sure it wasn't nice

I just have to say , Leon, you have such a GREAT site....it really keeps my going sometimes!

and I'm sure a lot of us here feel the same way.....I ADMIRE truly for what you have built/done for us and our hobby and community....

I think your collection was one of the finest EVER assembled!

and your MATTY PROOF and MULTI STRIKE SCRAP 206 are some of my favorite cards ever....

JUST AMAZING!

Leon, thanks for keeping this place cool and in check....you don't deserve the flack you get sometimes....I can't imagine what you put up with...I'd go nuts
definitely admire you sir

I think that's a very noble gesture to reinstate Rob.....your one of the most stand up guys I know......I hope he respects you and the rest of the community, the way you do...


GOD BLESS YOU AND AMERICA

oh, and t206

This. Every. Single. Time.

This pretty much sums up the goings-on in this thread, and in all threads before (or will ever come after) it.

Johnny, well done.

Rob, welcome back, sir.

LL, a tip of the cap to you.

Its IPA time; cheers!
