Latest Hauls of Shame Post

A couple things; Peter makes mention of Leon's past. Unlike Mr. Nash, Leon freely admits to his mistakes as a younger man and I don't think anyone on this board thinks any less of him. Three words very appropriate for Mr. Nash: POT, KETTLE, BLACK

[Leon]

It's been mentioned many times. I have a drug conviction from the mid 1980s. I am not proud of it. I learned and it never happened again. In life you live and learn...but some like Nash, never learn.

Nobody's perfect, we all made mistakes, I would probably "take the cake" around here, just never got caught. Dave.

Some folks own their mistakes, others well.................
FWIW I thought he chose a good picture of you!

Cheap shot and in character.

[Section103]

Im sure Leon hasn't been waiting his whole life on my validation, but I couldn't really care less about something like this. There are people doing truly bad things in this world; hurting other people. Ultimately, drugs are a personal issue that we like to get into other people's business about because it's a sick sort of fun for some.

Wasn't like Leon ran a supertanker full of cocaine from South America into Corpus Christi. Busted for flirting with Maryjane. There but for the grace of God go I and half the population of the United States. Extremely gratuitous cheapshot by Nash.

At least he refers to you as an EX-felon.

If ever the idiom "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" were apropos, it certainly applies to the sanctimonious Mr. Nash.

However, in fairness to him I did start a thread on the autograph side concerning him which wasn't very flattering. That being said he really should get his house in order before he tries to clean other houses. That's just my opinion .....and yes, of course, some of what he says is true, no doubt.

I've been hanging around BST for a while and I hardly post here but this one seems odd. So Nash is trashing Leon for owning an Internet forum where someone else posted a question about something that might have been stolen??? Is that his argument??? Really??? Seems like a bit of a reach. That's like blaming Steve jobs for what I'm typing now because I'm using an iPhone.

Sounds like it was a slow news day over at hauls of shame.

...our hobbies very own "National Inquirer" tabloid.

Wow Leon, a felony for weed?! I'd rather not live in a state where that's possible.

[Exhibitman]

What a tool. Nash, not Leon, of course.

To be clear it wasn't weed. It was pills. I was selling them and I was completely in the wrong and got what I deserved for doing it. Personally I don't even like pills. It was to make money. I am so glad I got caught and got out of it.

Hey Leon,

It was in the past. You paid your dues.

As far as I am concerned, it makes no difference to me. We are here to talk about baseball cards.

We got your back here at the Forum.

Thanks Howie. I prefer to focus on good things and not be defined by bad ones, as Peter Nash is. I agree, we are here to talk cards!!

+1 As Leon pointed out, he owned up to his mistake and paid his dues. When your time is served, probation or parole completed, you have served your debt to society for the mistake that was made. Putting "ex-felon" in front of his name was juvenile and unnecessary. What was the point?

Someone's panties were in a twist.

Sincerely, Clayton

Sorry, Leon. Thought it was pakalolo. Either way, Nash's reference to your past is totally irrelevant to whatever point he was trying to make and only lessens his credibiity.

I have to wonder: where will Travis post first: here or on HOS?

When will Vanilla Ice wannabe Peter Nash write about the Cooperstown forger, the fake trophy balls, and the items loaned to him that ended up in an auction?

When pigs fly, we're waiting.

[earlywynnfan]

I posted that exact question at 8:45 tonight. Didn't take long for it to disappear!

omg - Leon had troubles in his past about 25 years ago? Who'd have thought that?

Seriously, I'm going to guess Leon was a young man around that time and I'm going to guess that he's learned from his past because he's been nothing short of a stand up person for the time I've been involved with these vintage boards.

Leon, really sorry to see that garbage. You just keep on being LL because this vintage BB card world is much better with you in it. Thanks for all you've done.

If Nash didn't have a credibility issue before, he sure has one now. Oh yeah, one more thing "phuc Nash..."

[ZenPop]

I'm a complete neophyte for these kinds of "inside baseball" (so to speak) topics... but just having seen the way Leon handles himself in every thread I've seen him comment on, he's been outstanding.

This thread just confirms it for me... dealing with everything in a straight up way... good on you, Leon. My respect level has even gone higher.
