This. Every. Single. Time.

This pretty much sums up the goings-on in this thread, and in all threads before (or will ever come after) it.

Johnny, well done.

Rob, welcome back, sir.

LL, a tip of the cap to you.

Its IPA time; cheers!

[mrvster]

I tip my cap to you sir and all here.....especially Leon.....

I enjoy this board so much.......and it's members..........

and would like to say miss some of our lost soldiers here like Jim B and many other ICONS over the years........

Your words and collections and Passion are not forgotten.........

I love the cardboard, but the collectors are really what truly matter.....I get "lost" sometimes in it....

Life is short .......people are what matter ....don't get my wrong, I am obsessed with my cards, ......but seeing what is created here is better

Leon.....I have to say, still one of the most stand up guys I know...KUDOS TO YOU my friend.....


Aaron....Id have that beer with you if you were close

[Eric72]

I raise a glass to peaceful resolutions, old cardboard, Independence Day, and Net 54.

Have a wonderful evenng, everyone.

Best regards,

Eric

I've been a member for about ten years and a break from time to time is healthy. I like to see the same old names when I come back from a hiatus so I hope Rob will come back after this ordeal. I will say that I'd rather read through a few sarcastic comments then countless eBay links and tpg failure threads. Leon is as good of a moderator as they come - But, maybe we could take a vote next time and let the majority decide who gets banned. Happy 4th to everyone.

Totally against this. Makes it seem too high schoolish. Only the "cool cliques" will win. And the cool cliques think it is cool to attack members. Too much of that over on PSA. That is why they have so many alts and that board is run into the ground.

+1.....this is Leon's board.......we can all have a "say" I'm sure, but he has the ultimate decisions.....I totally respect that....

it is a great place

Other than taking a few minutes to jot down a thought it really is no big deal either way. This is a baseball card forum. I won't lose any sleep over any decision made or not made.

Bobby as to your point; that's another reason why Leon's pont to have people put their real names in any controversial thread is very wise. That way, you know who is saying what about you.

I actually think that would be lesser then the option we have right now. I feel much more comfortable to have a reasonable and rational person, like Mr. Luckey, to have vested control on decisions then the majority. This of course protects from Tocqueville's Tyranny of the Majority.

I do, of course, agree with your July 4th sentiment.
