I would do it for (1) Wagner I don't even like my family that much...catch me at the right time and you can have them for G-VG t206 common.

Paul made an excellent point that Bruce is fighting an imaginary war. What he doesn't seem to grasp is that other people are not at war with him. The idea doesn't even cross their mind. To me the whole thing is silly.

I think it's "silly" that even you, have begun to refer to Bruce in the plural ("their mind".)


Edited to add: Who else is shocked that there were several "Bruce threads" going on at once yesterday and I didn't play?

Bruce is tilting at windmills........

I think it is simple: Bruce wants the attention.

Bingo on this call. To me, there is no doubt in my mind, it's low self esteem and the need for attention. End of story.

I didn't play, either!

Jim- "their mind" referred back to "other people" in the sentence, not to Bruce. I still refer to him in the singular.

OK. I accept your explanation. It can be read the other way however!

Greg- somewhere in this long convoluted thread Bruce wished for Adam's demise. Please don't ask me to find it, but it's there. I find this kind of dialogue unacceptable, regardless of what provoked it. I've told this to Bruce by email but he just emails me back with the same horrid language. I give up. I would make greater headway banging my head against a brick wall.

In a way, I feel sorry for Bruce. He could be so helpful to everyone if he'd just share some of his knowledge of cards. I mean heck, he was acknowledged by Lew Lipset in Volume 1 of Lew's Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards, for his contributions to it. How many other contributions has he made like that?

After seeing Bruce's post in the "What do you do?" thread, where he says the focus of his company is Corporate "Mergers and Acquisitions", I think back to Richard Gere's character in Pretty Woman, and his description of what he would normally do in one of his deals.....he's basically a cutthroat manipulator with blood in his eyes.

Unfortunately for Bruce, he just seems to not know when to turn it off. He doesn't know where the job ends and the hobby begins.

Very sad.

Sorry tbob I'm with John on this one- I'd take a Wagner in poor condition and you could have my family minus my favorite son.
