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!

[mrvster]

I tip my cap to you sir and all here.....especially Leon.....

I enjoy this board so much.......and it's members..........

and would like to say miss some of our lost soldiers here like Jim B and many other ICONS over the years........

Your words and collections and Passion are not forgotten.........

I love the cardboard, but the collectors are really what truly matter.....I get "lost" sometimes in it....

Life is short .......people are what matter ....don't get my wrong, I am obsessed with my cards, ......but seeing what is created here is better

Leon.....I have to say, still one of the most stand up guys I know...KUDOS TO YOU my friend.....


Aaron....Id have that beer with you if you were close

[Eric72]

I raise a glass to peaceful resolutions, old cardboard, Independence Day, and Net 54.

Have a wonderful evenng, everyone.

Best regards,

Eric

I've been a member for about ten years and a break from time to time is healthy. I like to see the same old names when I come back from a hiatus so I hope Rob will come back after this ordeal. I will say that I'd rather read through a few sarcastic comments then countless eBay links and tpg failure threads. Leon is as good of a moderator as they come - But, maybe we could take a vote next time and let the majority decide who gets banned. Happy 4th to everyone.
