Dear Ryan:

I cannot explain how shocked and betrayed I feel. Here I thought you were sincere in your minute to minute interest of when your new issue of OCM arrived--posting regularly and sending me unsolicited e-mails, both at all hours of the day and night.

Now it turns out that your obsession with me and OCM's delivery status was nothing more than an angry, irrational attempt to control what posts are and are not tolerable on VBC.

Your true motivations are now bared before the entire board! I think the real issue here is not OCM and when it will arrive, but your wish to take Bill's position as the board's moderator--since you believe it is within your rights to tell people what they can and cannot post about.

A coup right here on VBC! Well, now that you've creeped your fellow posters out, scared off potential customers and humiliated yourself in public, I think it's safe to say your coup has failed miserably and Bill shall remain our forum's moderator so long as it is the free will of the people!

My rather benign suggestion to you was that if you did not like reading about whether or not people had received OCM, that you simply ignore the posts rather than chide your fellow posters for posting about something which you did not care for.

Clearly, had you been in Bill's position you would have unilaterally deleted the thread entirely--and deleted any thread or post which you did not find an interesting or acceptable topic to discus.

For shame Ryan Christoff of cubanbaseballcards.com. For shame.

And thank you Bill Cornell! At least some people around here respect free speech and the idea that not all people are going to be interested in the same things all the time.

Yours truly,
Aaron

PS, yes it's true thanks to you I do have your phone number. I promise to use it as responsibly as you used my e-mail address.
