That brings back some memories Dean.

Bruce Dorskind threatened to sue himself...without knowing it.

I think that if the original buyer compensates for shipping, then he should stay. I'd chalk up the whole tape/crack situation to be a gods honest mistake. Hell half the time I'm searching all over the place for my glasses only to realize they're on the top of my head. I've searched for my phone, with my phone in hand. I'd like to think we're all Human and are prone to making silly mistakes.

The Nun's Wagner, had me rolling the first time I saw it, a few months back. The comments on the roll of paper towel as well. In the original thread, the photoshops were something else.

Easily the most entertaining thread I've read on here so far this year.

The Wagner one I had never heard. Thats an instant classic right there.

I, too, believe in second chances, but there’s nothing wrong with a conditional return. On the one hand, he’s expressed seemingly genuine interest in returning to our community and demonstrated some measure of humility by contacting Leon directly with hat in hand. A certified scumbag grifter likely would’ve abstained from returning to the scene of the crime, particularly to face added scrutiny over their actions. Conversely, I am no fan of cold-feet buyers who cavalierly welch on deals. Had the upstanding seller been in a jam and needed those funds to meet his liabilities, the result would have been far worse.

If, through your good graces, you decided to allow him to reenter this community, I think it might be wise to do so on a probationary level. He’d definitely need some measure of rehabilitation before partaking of the BST boards. Assuming he fully understands the ramifications of what he’s done thus far, the bottom line is that he actually wants to be here to socialize with others and, as many of us do, receive updates on this magnificent hobby.

The last two years have been extraordinarily rough in terms of our social interaction and so these boards may be his only meaningful connection to like-minded enthusiasts. If you see fit to allow reentry, make sure it’s known that he’ll live and die in your shadow. Some of my most loyal soldiers, and now employees, were those whom I dared to offer a second chance.

Just my .02, for what it’s worth.

Jared,

Based on his previous good history, I think he should be allowed to remain.

I can sympathize with using a dummy name at registration. Its something that I imagine many people do before trying out a new site.

Net54's (likely) most ignored commenter has his own personal "banned" list. LOL, the irony!

Yes, you and Bobby are both lucky you weren't banned for your awful Luka hot takes. Good thing this isn't a basketball forum.

Hey Al, what was it in the Luka thread that you are remembering? My comments were mostly pushing back against Snowman's assertion that "Luka is the best young player in the league, and it's not close" which I still think is an absurd take.

The guy in question is certainly no Kevin Mize, but as someone else pointed definitely needs a manicure... let him stay!

Also, don't know the guy in the picture but it's one of the funniest "hobby" pictures I ever seen. Literally is holding a 7 figure card in his hand and somehow looks depressed lol.

Anyone with two working eyes can clearly see the case isn't cracked. I once had someone on Amazon initiate a return because the case was cracked. Obviously the CD was fine, and those cheap cases can be replaced rather easily. Amazon sided with the buyer. I asked the Amazon rep, if I bought a pair of shoes, and the box they came in was damaged could I get a refund? Basically she said I could. The buyers have WAYYYYYYY too much power these days. In this instance, the buyer was being a hardass, and I wouldn't want to sell to him.

Based on what I read I voted to reinstate.

A. It's very plausible that not listing his name on the registration was a simple mistake, especially considering the persons name was listed under their ID.

B. While mistaking tape for a crack is definitely a boneheaded move, the fact that the buyer offered to make good on the deal makes me believe that there was no ill intent intended.

Just my $0.02.
