Posted By: <b>Howie C</b><p>I am a rookie here also. I check the board multiple times a day. In the short few weeks that I have been reading these boards, I have learned so much. Most of the people who post here are very knowlegable about pre war cards. But there are a few who have nothing better to do but insult people and bust their chops. I have encountered one such person when I posted a few weeks ago. I no longer see his name posted. These people are crying out for attention because they have nothing else in their lives.<br><br>If we just ignore these people, they go away.

Posted By: <b>Rob Ray</b><p>...I'm mostly a lurker on here,but have enjoyed most everything I've read over the years.<br><br><br><br>But a few replies up, Mr.McDonald summed up the on-board unanimous response to MB3 in a most eloquent fashion.<br><br><br><br>I've known guys who publicy and personally respond to women as MB3 did in a moment of spite, and MB3 fits them to a T. A 40-year old who still acts as like a 15-year old. IF he's married,I'd be shocked.<br><br><br>I must admit,Marshall's website (what there is of it) is interesting and he seems like an interesting guy...if you simply happen upon his website. But seeing him virtually interact on these boards (maybe this is a poor example of him in action,but I doubt it) puts any doubt to rest. A gambling-addicted,high-strung,bling-loving,loud mouth,all-about-himself,extreme dude who craves...absolutely CRAVES...attention.<br><br>He may play golf better than a lot of us citizens,and if you like his sort of heavy metal music (the song samples on his blog weren't half-bad)...not my cup of tea,but as a musician myself I give props....anyway....<br><br>He has done nothing but cause strife on these boards with his repititious blatherings and spoutings of 20-year-old catch-phrases, and his ill-placed and very-out-of-fashion-rat-packish comment to Joann puts a big red flag up.<br><br>Once this thing dies down he'll bring his noize elsewhere.<br><br>Buh Bye. See you on the back 9 at the looney bin.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Well, I do have a responsibility to the community we have made. I am going to lock this thread and talk to Marshall today. Our crowd doesn't really fit him too well. He did insult good friends but he felt it was warranted. I do stand behind my comments (believe it or not) but my overriding concern is for the board. I am sort of a lone ranger on this one. We'll have to talk about this over a lot of beer at the National. Here is the deal. I think I am going to ask Marshall not to post anymore and lock this thread also. I think Net54 VBCF has had enough for now...maybe forever. I apologize for not taking action sooner but I do see my (much younger) self in Marshall...though I changed. I apologize to anyone that is offended I didn't take action sooner. I have explained why...right or wrong. There are so many folks I want to throw some rebuttals at it's not even worth it. So lets get back to vintage cards please...Anymore Marshall threads will be locked and swift action will be taken....take care all
