Jamie Blunder's recent BST situation

[T206Collector]

In my mind, Jamie is a real collector who has meaningful value to add to this board. I, for one, will welcome him back without reservation.

Thank you for those words... I very much value this board and enjoy discussing and posting about rare t206s which is my passion.... I am sorry to have wasted so much of everyones time over my own mistake... I look forward to moving into a positive direction...

onto the cards.. as they say..

Although Jamie DID screw up badly, I never once asked a mod, or Leon to institute any type of suspension or ban. I even relayed this in one of the emails Jamie and I had. I told him that I didnt wish for him to be banned, and that so long as he realized his mistake, I was able to forgive. Leon has done what he feels is best for the integrity of this forum, and I have nothing but respect for his decisions.

Jamie shows true passion as a collector and has contributed greatly to this forum. I, too, will welcome him back without reservation. I hope he can attend the National this summer and I look forward to meeting him.

I believe that Leon and those involved in the decision-making process have handled this situation justly and graciously and that Jamie has accepted responsibility for his actions in a mature and gentlemanly manner.
I am very pleased and continue to be most grateful for this fine board.

best,

Jamie has been a good buyer from me in the past, and I look forward to his return to the BST and a fresh start!

Also, to be clear he (hi Jamie) is not banned from the main forums at all, only the BST, for a month. His email to me upon getting the notice was something a mature person does that knows they made a mistake. He accepted responsibility and understands. I look forward to his future contributions on the board. It is very difficult to mete out punishment to good people and not something we take lightly. I honestly hope we/I never have to do it again. take care
