It always happens doesn't it? They start off pissing a few members off, I try to see the good in them, they keep ranting and pissing more people off. Then all of the sudden (well, not really all of the sudden....) they go off the deep end. Then threads get locked, they get banned and we go back to talking cards until the next one.

This forum has some very intelligent people and some very undisciplined people too. I would really question which one of those I am if I got caught up with Adrian to the degree of repeated slander. He was hard to take but how hard is it really to ignore him. There will be another fill his shoes and I'm hoping for a more disciplined forum when that occurs.

Lessons Learned:

1. Respect others on the forum
2. Reserve posts for when I have something worth saying
3. Stop responding to pot stirrers as soon as an issue is identified

I hope to see a main board full of the research and card images that are important to our hobby.

Both Adrian and I introduced ourselves to the Board on the same day. This is my 13th post! I never responded to any of his posts, but they were amusing at first and killed alot of down time for me at work. It got old fast though and went over the top last night. Thanks Leon.

Agreed. I don't think I ever posted in any of his threads. I made it a point not to. If you ignore people like that (attention whores), they eventually go away.

That said, thank you, Leon, for booting him.

There sure has been a lot of drama on the board in the last several months from Andrew to Andrian and some in between, but this is still the greatest bb card chat board on the web.

Default Reneged again with another story

It appears that Mr. 99 percent has reneged again, with another story, this time on a high dollar purchase of a high grade Mantle card on ebay. 1952toppsmantle for those keeping score. I am cognizant that he cannot respond, but on balance it seemed appropriate to warn folks.

Default Thank you!

I just wanted to leave a quick post to thank those who commented on my little poem/song. I truly appreciate all of your kind words.

Although I had some issues with Adrian, especially early on, I wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors. Here's hoping that he finds whatever it is that he's looking for.

Best regards and peace to all,

Eric

It'd be kinda funny if all of his current auctions on ebay were re-negged upon by the buyers because they changed their minds...I wonder if Adrian would be ok with that?!

Bill, my best.
did the absolute best you could given what was coming your way.
And you're one hundred percent right, rough times can and should make you more empathetic, and more thankful.
Babe Ruth had six of seven siblings die in childhood. was essentially left to the streets of Baltimore. then to an orphanage, and his parents called him 'incorrigible'. Babe was in survival mode his whole childhood. six of his siblings lost that battle. And then he was going to sew, with those huge lumbering hands. which he did for hours and hours at St Mary's.
And Babe turned into the most happy, happiness spreading guy around, and particularly to children. giving to them thoughtfulness, time, and fun.

Adrian, such as Pete Chao before him, never bothered me in terms of reading his posts. It was in one ear and out the other.
