Default Please read everyone

I would like to sincerely apologize for posting the big FU in a thread earlier. It was uncalled for and should not be done here.

Now I am going to go to that thread and remove it if Leon or another mod already hasn't.

To be clear nobody asked me to do this I am doing it because it was wrong.

I've thrown a few F-bombs myself on Net54. No sweat.

It is a such a minor thing I nixed most of the word and didn't even say anything to you about it . An extraordinary situation like that isn't a big deal to me, as seems to be Barry's view too.

As penance Ben, you should buy 3 1958 green Aarons and turn them into blue Aarons

When I posted that I instantly logged off before I posted something much worse. Then after taking some time to cool off I realized that nobody especially any kids need to see profanity posted on a place that should not have any.

Plain and simple what I posted was wrong so I felt I needed to make a public apology whether needed or not.

OK everyone lets go back to arguing about cards.

Usually my FU's happen the morning after an auction closes when I see all the cards that I've been outbid on...

I don't have to wait nearly that long to get outbid usually.

Ben, we've never met, but I have always enjoyed your posts and the small amount of communication we've had. The good information and posts from you exponentially outweighs the bad.

As I like to say... If this is the worst thing that's happened to anyone here today, then we are all having a pretty good day.

Since the FU was for me, I have to tell you that in the heat of the moment I've used it plenty myself. No sweat.

Almost all of my FU's, etc. are in traffic...thank goodness I have the good sense to keep my windows closed, my doors locked...and, just in case, my powder dry.

No seriously, there have actually been several men from Nantucket over the years. I don't dare mention any names though..............

I meant what I posted and still do. I made the public apology because I believe profanity is like religion and politics and should not be tolerated here for any reason.

Bless you heart for letting letting me know it is "no sweat".

Half of the time it's this, and half of the time it's that I wasn't outbid on enough of them.
