The state of Net54

[sdkammeyer]

I just got banned .... and probably for good reason. I stated a popular opinion.......... that wasn't "so popular"

We are all collector's. We do share a common passion. We are all in this together. Let's all get along.

There has been a MULTITUDE of bullcrap threads lately. We all know this.

Instead of voicing our opinions ..... let's just let it go. Sometimes silence is louder than dropping the bomb.

An idiot will only realize he/she is an idiot after he/she realizes that he/she has no followers. A "true" idiot thinks that anybody, regardless of their response, is a follower. Our best plan of action is to be silent.


If you are on this board to collect 1990's cards, then by God man ... go get your cards!! Don't let the other crap deter you.

If you are a T206 collector, get your sh*t man ..... do NOT let an ignorant guy with a fake Ruth auto deter you.

If you are here to pick up a Roger Clemens autograph, then get your auto.... do not let a fight over a rare 206 back mess with your head....

People will be dumb .... smart people will make stupid choices ... and stupid people will make smart choices .... and that is why we call it "humankind". It's all good. Get what you want, and leave the rest to the lesser understanding people in the world.

Yeah, so given you have a good plan, what's up with this thread?

My sincerest apologies if I misunderstand your post. My theory is that if you have a personal vendetta against someone (or their opinion) just let it go..... if it doesn't involve a card that you wish to obtain.

I am not trying to create waves ... I am trying to calm the ocean.

If you got banned how are you able to post?

things

I was allowed back on after making it known that I never meant any bad intent towards anybody ..... and that is what I am trying to preach here.

I am uncertain why people are taking their precious time to attack others about things that do not even matter?

again .... i am trying to smooth waves .... not create them.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

I just have to say that Cobb as your avatar is fitting.

[sdkammeyer]

I'm not buying or selling anything at the moment ... so I have a second to address this issue. That's all.

I'm not looking for haters or supporters...... I'm just saying that with a little bit of effort we can all get along a little happier.

No more, no less.

When I saw the title of this thread I was hoping it was going to address the fact that with the influx of new members over the last few months we also had an influx of generally bad attitudes. There has been a lot of pure nastiness going on, and on any given day too many posts are personal/hostile. I relish the days of steankchops' isolated craziness.

Hey, maybe we can get Leon to make a "State of the Union" address once a month??

Could be a good promotion ...... but that is not my point in this thread .... and believe me .... I WANT TO MAKE THE POINT OF THIS THREAD PERFECTLY CLEAR SINCE I GOT BANNED FOR QUESTIONING THE POINT OF ANOTHER THREAD .............

I am simply saying that unless your opinion affects your buying/selling/trading ...... why not just let it go?

Again .... I am trying to smooth the waves ... not create them.

No, you didn't get suspended for questioning a thread, you got suspended for posting lunacy in 25 posts in a row, in a matter of minutes, in a thread because you didn't like it.

How does someone who has been a member for 5 months
give a "State of the Board" address? Take a deep breath,
there 's an ebb and flow to this thing.

WOW...IF I CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR CONFUSION I AM SO SORRY!!

Did I come off as a person who was making a "State of the Board" post?

Or .... did I come of as a person who was inquiring about the "State of the Board"??

Take a deep breath ...... read again .... I promise you .... it is going to work out in the end.

WOW.....

Hey, hey!!! Isolated? That clown was calling me and hanging up for over a month... And probably even did the same to Leon...

I thought it was a fun thread, and well worth it. At least for me it was. I'm sure Leon didn't care much for the hassle though..

I get what you mean though. The occasional thread like that is ok, but lately we've been getting 'em almost daily..

BTW, I just went to check my average posts per month. Hell yeah. 69...
