Hhhmmm, I wonder what happened to autographalert?

[drc]

I'm not expert on the issue but i thought I read the TPAs were trying to subpoeana the owner for a lawsuit. That's what I thought I read.

Though of course it's possible I have things mixed up or otherwise don't know what I'm talking about.

Does anyone really think that the owner(s) of AutographAlert voluntarily removed their website "for the good of the hobby?"

A critique site of the tpa's that is milquetoast is just what the tpa's want. Mild=accomadating and validating.

They would probably start one themselves if it meant no one ever dug any further than gently criticizing a little something here or there. then everyone moves on and thinks the tpa's are taking constructive criticism and taking it to heart and trying to get better.

Which is just not reality. it's not what is happening.

You will never hear the real stuff that is going on without it being labeled as a troublemaker site. That goes for any topic.

Managed and directed pitter patter criticism is just what they want. As long as it doesn't get to the truth and the real stuff that goes on. Then everybody can say how gentle and good the criticizing party is for making it all palatable and sugar coated. Then nothing ever changes or is reformed for the better.
