An Open Letter to the Forum - Re: Bruce Dorskin (suspended)

[sflayank]

im betting dorskind is a fraud
he has no cards no collection and no money
just a lot of talk

[packs]

I haven't been here that long, but I have seen a lot of negative posts from this guy. It's just weird to me that someone would feel like they're better than someone else based solely on their baseball cards. It makes you wonder what it is that they don't have.

Bruce has a beautiful collection, I've seen it many times. But he is unable to get along with the people on this board. I've tried countless times to get him to tone it down, to stop sending death threats, to stop talking down to everyone, even to make a tiny concession and stop using "we." But so far I've failed miserably.

Barry,

Instead of talking to him, try talking to "them".

Whilst I understandist you concernist over Bruces' postist. He isist kind ofist interestingist. Is he any worstist or more annoyingist than Peter was?

I agree with just ignoring him.

I agree with the last post. Peter Chao was certainly in another world and very distracting. I would definitely randk the Bruces higher than Peter.

I learned a long time ago there's no sense getting all riled up every time an idiot gives you a hard time. In the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should. Plus I have a really large penis. That keeps me happy.

...But I'm totally cool with banning total d1ckheads from Net54. Whatever the bar is, its too high. This isn't a state run democracy, its a chat board. There is no 1st Amendment right to post here. If you pi$$ off a few people here for a regular period of time, you ought to be banned.

Seriously -- if you can death threat another board member and ever post again, I mean GEESH already.... GEESH!

If I had the extremely hard job of being Moderator, I'd understand trying to tolerate a$$sholes. But, again... GEESH already. Enough. He adds nothing but comic relief through tired Seineld references.... No Soup For You! A Dingo Ate Your Baby! HA! I never get bored of mid-90s sitcom references. Can we hear Friends jokes next!? Please!?!?!??

The majority may disagree with his methods but you can't argue with his results. He often makes outstanding points, but go unnoticed and become overshadowed by his brash demeanor.

If you don't get Bruce by now, you probably never will. I' m not privy to any threats he's made, and his comments about hoping for someones demise, in my opinion are not that bad. I happen to agree on many of his thoughts on things. If that makes me a "jerk" or "like him" in your opinion, so be it.

Hell, I would be willing to bet that the majority of us were (and still may be) big fans of Howard Stern. Howard would always wish that someone "would get cancer and die" almost on a daily basis. He would even openly pray to Jesus to help make it happen! Yet millions of us tuned in every morning to see what Howard would say next. Howard would also love to "rub it in" to his adversaries (Imus) faces about how successful he had become while they were "losers".

I run Blackjack in one of the biggest casinos in the world, and deal with people from all walks of life and from places that many of us have never heard of. Where force is the only thing they respect. So I'm may be a bit jaded and not easily offended. I'll give you that.

But I believe people vote with their feet, so to speak. If you don't like what Bruce has to say, pay it no attention. Simple as that. If you choose to throw gas on the fire...it's gonna burn, and burn brighter.

Bruce should stay. This is America after all and he has the right to speak his mind. It's not like he's "yelling fire in crowded theater" for God's sake.

You all have the right to do what you want to do, but I will not participate in a Lynch Mob.

Sincerely, Jimmy

You have not failed Barry, Bruce has failed as a mensch.
