I do think it's a bit ridiculous that just about every single thread, at least on the prewar section of this board - turns into a rage session about the current scandal and those who have done disservice to our hobby. Trust me, I don't have my head in the sand. I'm plenty upset myself and have done more than my fair share of spreading communication and warning others about what is going on to others on other sites, many who at least from their comments would seem to be actually uninformed, or at best woefully misinformed. But on the flip side I still do love my (mostly mid-to-lower) grade vintage baseball cards. I like talking about them and discussing their ridiculous nuances here online. And reading through these posts sometime to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of the vitriol and personal attacks can get a bit stupid. I don't (at least I don't think...) know any of you all personally, and I haven't really had that long of an online relationship with you in these forums, so some of it I guess is either in jest, or taken at least less seriously by some than it would appear to Joe Public surfing the forum. So I'm not beating up on anyone - but does it get beyond annoying at times? Yes.

Just my 2 cents.
