Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Threatening to contact a board member's employer is about as lame as it gets. Pathetic really.

Posted By: <b>Rob D.</b><p>Dan,<br /><br />After Bruci contacted me yesterday and I read their e-mail several times (sorry, it was like a car wreck: I just could not look away), I came to the conclusion that they "go off the board" to minimize the potential for embarrassment. Obviously, the fewer people who read the inaccuracies, butchering of the language, misspellings and misinformation, the fewer who can point out said mistakes.<br /><br />Once again, Bruci is one step ahead of the rest of us.

Posted By: <b>David Atkatz</b><p>Bruces have sent me a number of filthy, sexually explicit emails, in which they refer to my wife, my son, and my mother.<br /><br />What a sad, pathetic, lonely bunch of guys.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>His email to me was rather innocuous, but he did ask me if English was my first language which broke my irony meter.<br /><br />He's been warned about this thing in the past and I saw the emails he sent David....they are without doubt from the mind of a sick man.

Posted By: <b>Steve</b><p>Yea, Far over the top. Someone could get hurt. (Especially if the missus saw Bruces comment. She'd kick my ass, then his)

Posted By: <b>Bruce Dorskind</b><p><br /><br />Our e mail to David's was in response to his unprovoked e mail<br />which stated looks like 's ____'s dick is bigger than yours<br /><br />Our response indicated where we would put the "dick"<br />he referenced.<br /><br />We suggest, poor Nutty Professor that you quit while you<br />are ahead<br /><br /><br />Bruce

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Well, I have been privy to some private emails floating around. As I have told the Bruces, and others, I am very slow to get involved when there is blood on each hand in the issue. If someone berates someone else, even slightly, I won't take up for either. Even when the 2nd person is far more rude. What started out as a fun thread turned into something that really shouldn't even be on the board. I apologize to the original poster for that. I am about a half a breath from locking this one, and depending on how it goes from here, very well might do it. I really don't like locking threads though. I would like to ask each person to act maturely and get back to talking about cards. I actually thought it would be a fun thread when it started. ...regards

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I think if someone had passed away it would be very difficult for them to post on the board. I think everyone needs to do as Barry says and take a breather....

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br /><br />I don't have a problem with Bruce..never have had any issues. However, a night away from the cards with a woman...skinny, curvy, or big may do some good.

Posted By: <b>Sean C</b><p>Yet again, what started off as a nice little thread degenerated badly once the Bruce got involved (and no, I'm not going to indulge his ego by calling him the "Bruces" or anything of that sort). His continued anti-social behavior (as evidenced by his emails and posts, especially his "posting your obituary" and comments about Al) should not be allowed to continue. This is certainly not the first time he has done this, and I'm certain that it will continue to occur unless action is taken. <br><br>

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>I'm confused.<br /><br />Exactly why are these immature and profanity laden contributions by Bruce tolerated and allowed on this board? I'm a Sox fan. Is it just another case of Bruce being Manny? Are his contributions accepted just because he has some nice stuff in his collection and he occasionally posts some informative stuff in between posting some incredibly insulting material towards individual board members? <br /><br />I have never read such disgusting things as I have from Bruce in the last couple of days.<br /><br />

You know you have a great wife when ...
Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>These things are allowed by Bruce because a lot of times he is only fighting back. I don't like this stuff either but every time I do anything then someone gets upset. I am trying to be more like a referee in a fight (sorry for the euphemism but it's about par for the course (pun intended)) and stay out of the way when possible. Bruce starts more good threads than most people on the board so he does get more slack than someone who doesn't or someone who rarely posts good comments. Please understand, too, that I get to see oodles of emails flying around so have information that many others don't. <br /><br />I am really for more talk about pre war baseball cards and card collecting with my friends....which I enjoy greatly.....take care<br /><br />ps...edited to say that I did mention a few minutes ago, in a post above, that I will step in if it gets any worse or continues. I promise.

Posted By: <b>Rob D.</b><p>For the record, I had no problem with Bruce e-mailing me, and I don't expect Leon to get involved. Like I told Bruce in my reply, I find him entertaining, in kind of a Jerry Springer way. I've busted his chops on the board, and if he feels more comfortable dealing with it via e-mail, I don't hold that against him. That being said, he wasn't vulgar in his e-mail to me, so maybe I'm in the minority on this one.<br /><br />Judging by what others have posted, it seems he can go over the top in his e-mails (not to mention his posts that wish death upon someone.) But is that really surprising? I mean, come on, consider the source.

Posted By: <b>Sean C</b><p>I do consider the source, Rob. That's why I find it so disturbing that he is allowed to continue.

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>I thought that Bruce was put on final warning of some kind to get banned if he did this again. He sent Lee Behrens the most vile email about economic status, along with a few others, and it seems like he was put on notice that he would get banned.<br /><br />The thinking was that people here are required to include their email addresses as a condition for participating in certain threads. Since disclosure of contact info is a requirement to be here, then there had to be some strong safeguards against other members that would take advantage of that requirement by sending inappropriate emails.<br /><br />It has been fashionable here lately to suggest that we give Bruce a break because he has been posting decent threads or whatever. I've been silently thinking that I would give him a break the day I hear he has apologized to Lee Behrens for the email. Guess I now have to add Dan and David to that list.<br /><br />Joann Kline<br />contact info withheld so I don't have to deal with imbecilic emails

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>As I said above....others started the issues this time..No one will be banned for defending themselves. For a long time it has also been said that if you want to argue then take it off of the board. So, we can't have it both ways. I strongly discourage hateful emails as they do no one any good. <br /><br />How about everyone that is bitching in this thread...and I mean everyone...post a good thread......(yeah, that's what I thought)

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>Leon, <br /><br />Trust me, I appreciate the position you are in and I have immense respect for you. I am just completely disgusted by manhy of the comments made by Bruce. This is certainly not anything new. The assinine comments he made to me in the other thread were one thing, I'm certainly adult enough to pass them off as the remarks of someone who has some significant issues and esteem problems. To read, however, these profanity laden comments that have been written, and to see someone who I greatly admire on this board (Dan B.) get so aggrevated by the same, just puts me over the top. <br /><br />Let me put it another way, would you let your kid read this public board?<br /><br />I certainly would not.<br /><br />Greg<br /><br />edited to add that this was written the same time Leon was writing his thread. Sorry Leon.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>His email to me was unsolicited and I had thought he was warned about doing that in the past. Peter Chou may have been a bit annoying, but at least he wasn't a sociopath, and he stayed out of my inbox.

You know you have a great wife when ...
Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Given what you now know, and the fact that much of Bruce's anger was in retaliation....what would you do if you were me? Ban Bruce for defending himself? The board is probably PG-17 rated....It should be G rated....what can I say?...

Posted By: <b>Dan Paradis</b><p>Wow! I don't post here often, yet read N54 almost everyday.<br /><br />I thought this post would be fun. Yesterday I sat here laughing with my wife at her desk<br />wondering what I was reading.<br /><br />Today I'm embarrassed by what this thread has turned into. It's certainly not funny any more (actually it<br />has become a little scary).<br /><br />However, it certainly is interesting!! There are some strange people collecting baseball memorabilia. <br /><br />Leon: This is the first time I've ever asked this, but it seems time to lock this post?? I haven't seen a recent<br />response relating to the subject.<br /><br />Dan<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
