Sorry, I didn't mean angry with me, I meant angry at the email....there's too much fightin' going on. I'm just trying to take the high road. I'm tired of being at odds with so many different people.

I hear you Barry but you have nothing to worry about I think we made it clear on the other board nobody screws with Sloate and lives to tell the tale!

Ok, I have my own opinions. I don't always go along with the masses.
Yes, I do talk to Scott Elkins. Just because I talk to him doesn't mean I share his personal views. I know most of you on this board don't like him. As far as I know, Scott has not comitted any fraud. Scott does fly off the handle and writes very strong statments on his board. I have told him I disagree with this very strongly. I hate it. Just because Scott doesn't like Leon,that wont stop me from talking or dealing with Leon.
Also, a lot of you believed in T206 Museum. I didn't. So if I went along with what everybody else does, I would not have figured out about Pat Chan and the Museum.
Anyone who has ever delt with me knows I am honest and very easy to deal with. If you check every post I have ever made, they are positive. There are no personal attacks or jabs.

Collectors need to unite their knowledge and rid the hobby of Chans. As long as your personal life doesn't involve cheating or fraud, it doesn't concern me.
I know Leon and Scott have a bad past, but that doesn't include me. I am going to deal with Leon and Scott and anybody else that is honest.

I also think a lot of board members have had good deals with Scott, including Leon, they just disagree with his personal life and the outragous board rants.

I really don't think Kevin is a Chan but his statement was disturbing. I have never talked to Kevin but I think he has good intentions for the hobby-I'm not sure that goes for 54ers.

54 can be brutal. I have tried to stay away from contaversy, but when I figured out Chan and the Museum and talk to several people about it, that went out the window.I enjoy 54 and will continue to hang out here. You have to cross these paths in the hobby and on the chat boards.

I have never had any issue with you whatsoever and our dealings have always been perfect. I hope that continues. I won't make this into an Elkins bashing post but just so everyone knows the main reason *I think he hates me is because of me putting banner ads on this board. He also thinks there were several situations that I tried to get people not to bid on cards so I could win them cheaper. Of course this is in no way true and each and every thing he ever mentioned I proved wrong. I have never done anything wrong to him at all. The other thing he hates me for is letting BCD post about an issue on the board, that they had with each other. After 3-4 days I locked the thread as enough was enough. For these things he has decided to hate me and go off the deep end with an enormous amount of vitriol towards me. It almost seems his whole life is consumed with bashing me and, I think, that is the reason he was kicked off of another chat board that he actually started. I just thought I might explain what I think are the issues he has with me. I much prefer to talk about, and collect, cards with my friends. take care now....

Leon, one thing is certain and that is, he has an obsession with you that is not healthy. His chatboard is like watching a train wreck really slowly.

It seems like there are people with "unique personalities" in every hobby. In the end it's just up to each person to choose which ones they are comfortable dealing with.

Leon-I will continue to deal with you -I don't care what anyone thinks about you. You have added very nice cards to my collection and every deal was perfect.
I know this board is hard to run and moderate. Very time consuming. Just because Scott has issues with you, that will not effect my opinion of you. Sometimes not doing what evrybody wants makes you not so popular but as long as you are honest, you are ok with me.
Thanks for sticking up for me in your otherpost
JR

thanks John
