Call me crazy, but do we really need to have threads like this?

Well, if something happens and someone wants to make a display of it should we not allow it?

[Moonlight Graham]

I understand what you're saying Leon and the freedom that we have on this board is great, but some of these threads seem like they should just be handled between the parties involved and not be made into such a public display.

I agree it would be better to handle it privately. From personal experience on the board that is the usual best way to do it. However, when someone puts something out here, unless it's egregious or way against the rules, I think it should be let go. Many times these things have a way of taking care of themselves. Also, many times people get to know others by what they post. (see Luke's response above) So limiting that is an injustice on a few levels..again, all in my opinion. I could be wrong .

This sums it up perfectly. This thread says way more about the OP then it does his target.

Moonlight didn't give an opinion of a person, only of the thread itself. That doesn't merit a name. If it did I am sure Leon would have said something in his reply.

The OP was closer to breaking a rule than Moonlight. The only thing that saved him is that after the fact Leon gave approval.

Sorry about that.

Gobucmagic:, After that shady move you tried to pull with the E95 Crawford, I would think you would be laying low, trying to act ethically, and giving people time to forget that you're a scumbag rather than calling attention to yourself like this. This thread isn't making you look good.

The only reason that I even commented on this thread is because we have a lot of members that have so much knowledge about this hobby, and there is so much that we can learn about cards/sets from them that it just seems like a waste of time/energy to start a thread over a personality dispute. I mean, no one was being scammed-it's just a difference of opinion. And we all deal with people like that if we sell on Ebay.

You have started approximately 2-3 threads that were not selling something in the last 2+ years. Maybe starting a few more good threads would help the board as much as commenting on this one? I should mention that you are not alone, most members don't start good threads.

You are absolutely right Leon-by the way happy belated birthday!!

thanks for the B'day wishes...and my comment wasn't a total dis on you. It really is more a message to all members that the lifeblood of the forum is good threads. I am always hopeful members will participate. But if they don't then that is their business and not a big deal. We'll just plug along the way we have for the last 13 yrs......It's all good.

Pretty much all non-selling threads I start are complete crap. That doesn't stop me though. I'm like the honey badger of net54 bad threads. Relentless.

Crappy thread starters are not an endangered species on Net54.

Any time I open a thread and see a pile of email and PM exchanges, a little of my breakfast comes up.
