This is just my opinion, but i have never found Ted to be rude nor insensitive.

In all fairness, and this isn't a criticism at all but rather a possible explanation, four months on the board isn't that long.

the TPG bus with its dead, battered, beaten horse has been around the block a few times. everyone knows about the game. stop crying in the intances when it doesn't favor you, we don't want to hear about it and don't care.

also selectively nitpicking random examples to bolster your stance whether TPG is good/bad instead of looking at the whole picture is stupid. it's like looking at a small sample size and saying you'd rather have a team of david ecksteins in the playoffs than arods.

Ted is clearly, by far and away, one of the most knowledgeble people on here. He has an incredible amount of valuable information to share, particularly about the set I love -- T206. I would want to do nothing to diminish his contribution to this Board and I always try to remind myself of this whenever he makes over-the-top comments that can be insulting.

But Ted does make such over-the-top comments, and they can easily be construed to be rude or insensitive. In fact, I found his latest comments to me on this thread to be such -- he made up a story about me "demanding" to be paid for the cost of grading cards from him, when I've never even exchanged a single card with the man or otherwise demanded to be paid for the cost of grading the card. And he called my opinion "laughable."
