What I really enjoy about Net54 is the education from the hobby, the cards, players and stories from fellow collectors. It should be a great escape from things like politics or a job. So this is too bad.

Barry was a teacher also and knows a most important quality of a teacher is patience. That will work here - put into words what a person is doing that is against the condition that govern acceptable behavior. Stepping aside does not teach the one in need of guidance to better conduct.

Well, this just plain sucks. Mr. Sloate's knowledge and insight was of great help to me, when I began my journey into prewar card collecting. I'll miss that.

+1, one less member that always had something positive to contribute to our collecting community. I really hope you consider, Barry. I feel like there are a lot of us that seldom post, but love the positive contributions that you make to the board.

I've learned more from people like you, Ted Z, Pat R, Erik S, Luke L, etc. and will always be appreciative of the insight provided.

I didnt see it mentioned before, but this board has a GREAT function which allows you to ignore other members as you see fit. Of course, if someone else quotes that member, you'll still see it; but it's still pretty effective and very satisfying. I think I only have like 2 members on ignore....and wouldn't you know....well, no regrets on my side.

Is this serious? If so, I would so appreciate your sharing how to do that. There is now one less (former) member I would like to ignore, but it is a GREAT function that I would like to put to use. Thanks in advance

I am sorry to see you go, but don't let your anger about politics affect you.
Don't you sort of answer your own question here though? If a phrase uttered by a politician is so inflammatory that its mere mention elicits such a strong reaction in people, as this one obviously does, then surely it would be better for the forum if people weren't posting it?

No politics here for me, thanks.

Any comment in any section/thread of this forum could be "inflammatory" to the right person.

I agree with a previous poster that if politics is a known trigger to someone, why would they choose to read a thread about 9/11, regardless of how well-written the first post in the thread was?

For the record David's banishment is a suspension only. He will be allowed back in the not distant future. I am not so sure his comments were meant to be political. (actually, I don't think they were, now, looking back on them.)

It's not what happens to you, it's how you take it. Idiots in this life have been around for a while, it's not like they suddenly appeared only with the advent of online baseball card forums. Sounds to me like whoever left would have been better served by having a drink and ignoring whatever offense he could not get by. This is a fabulous place to talk about cards, and the benefits here far outweigh the frustrations, IMO.

Sorry, I disagree. But best wishes to Mr. Sloate, whatever he decides.

I understand how important Barry is and has been to many collectors. I’ve read so much of what he’s had to share since joining Net54 about five years ago. Losing his knowledge and dedication to the forum is heart breaking. With all that said, I agree with this post.

....with everything ullmandds said. Barry was great to deal with in the old days when his set sale and auction catalogs arrived in the mail box. His knowledge is very broad and he shares it freely. I hope Barry will reconsider his leaving Net54. If your reading this Barry...you will be missed in my opinion.

Maybe we can all find a way to share our opinions and still get along?

That's because he is always giving away his PSA graded cards.

It does suck to lose a good member and then get a bad one back.

it’s encouraging that barry is reading the board on a daily basis. hopefully that means he will change his mind and come back.

Er...is there anyone out there these days for whom politics is not a known trigger?

I totally agree that leaving the forum is an over-reaction, but I also think posts about an inflammatory political comment like that should be avoided like the plague on a forum like this.

Regardless of if there is or isn't, would it not be smart to avoid a 9/11 thread knowing your panties could get in a twist?

I agree with Leon that the comment that started this isn't political, and directly pertained to the topic of 9/11 itself. If an individual views 9/11 as political, and is triggered by politics to the point of potentially leaving a sports card forum, is it not on them to avoid that thread and not click on it? We have a massive societal crisis with a lack of accountability, especially self-accountability. It's on David not to post anything political - which it has since been deemed he didn't - and it's on Barry not to dive into the thread knowing it's a potential trigger.

To me, that's what all of this boils down to. We all loves this hobby and discussing this hobby. 99% of the forum is about this hobby. There are 2 sections that are a bit more OT, and if your focus is strictly hobby-related discussions, it's probably best to avoid the 1% of this forum that is OT.
