Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>Barry - I wasn't being chastised. Tom (originator of this thread) asked me to refrain from further participation because this was a serious thread for serious collectors.<br /><br />For some reason that struck me as funny (especially given some of the tangents the thread has already taken).<br /><br />And as clarification, I'm also not sure if this thread was a parody of Jim, or in defense of Jim. I'm not sure if it matters to me - the similarity of the two threads jumped out at me and that's pretty much it.<br /><br />No matter which is the answer, I'm really really curious to know who Tom is.<br /><br />See? I'm back in the thread mere moments after I said I wouldn't participate in it further. Just as I'm sure Jim will be back on this board.<br /><br />J

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Joann- whoever Tom may be, since when does one poster tell another poster to cease and desist?

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>This thread is pure parody from the first post to asking Joann to stop posting.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>That's what I'm trying to understand- is this all serious or a joke? And if it is the latter, excuse my naivete, but I'm missing the joke.

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I think that the post asking me to stop posting is the clearest sign that this is a parody. For some reason that one, in retrospect, seems very tongue in cheek.<br /><br />Tom? You out there? Care to reveal? Because I'm beyond curious at this point.<br /><br />J

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Barry, did you read the thread on the non-sports board that inspired this? Tom is mimicking Jim in this thread right down to asking a poster to stop participating in the thread.

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>I think I can solve this whole thing right now by asking one simple question:<br /><br />Has anyone ever seen Jim, Bruce and Tom in the same place at the same time? <br /><br />Alas, the mystery of the whilst-ridden "we" is solved! <br /><br />And they would've gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those pesky net54 kids and their punk rock and dope legalization!<br /><br />-Ryan<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>No Dan, I've only been on the non-sports board a couple of times, so that explains what I am missing. Thank you.

Posted By: <b>Frank Evanov</b><p>This thread was begun as a parody of Jim's post on the Non-Sports Board. <br /><br />While Jim's NS post was an attempt to prevent 2 top notch collectors from leaving the Non-Sports board due to the ramblings of one of the moderator's cronies, this thread is merely designed to be inflammatory and to allow everyone to beat up on Jim again. To imply that Jim posted this thread shows a lack of knowledge of the politics of this Forum.<br /><br />This thread is a real waste of space on a board where collecting and hobby knowledge used to be the prime focus.<br /><br /> <br><br>Frank

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I am going with the parody bit and don't really care to be discussing this anymore. A few people have suggested I should lock this thread. At this point I think it's a good idea.... Let's get back to current auctions and cards and the hobby........thanks
