T206Collector...I meant to say, "But it seemed pretty remarkable and insensitive to me that a day after we (properly and happily) get a 1952 Topps thread locked
for being off-topic., that we get a discussion of 1950's players."
The fact that I mistakenly said Mantle in that sentence does not actually change the value of what I have been saying.
But I most certainly have not been "beating up on Leon," who closed the 1952 Topps thread much to my glee. I took issue with the hate e-mail he received in response to that closing, and I wanted everyone to know that he had support on this Board for closing down any and all OT threads that he might decide, after a proper discussion with his closest compatriots, were worthy of closing down.
It is now clear to me that my opinion as to what constitutes an impermissible OT thread has no relevance to his decision-making authority. And I am totally happy with that.
At the end of the day, it is disappointing to me that you believe that sticking up for an exclusively pre-war forum is "wasting time and
space" with "incessant negative posts."
