PASJDIt seems to me the Board has a diverse and appropriate mix of "pure" card questions/discussions, more general sports discussions (my post about long HRs got quite a few responses, for example), and pointed discussions about controversial issues that come up from time to time such as the Keeler card. People are free to ignore the threads that don't interest them, but I see no reason to limit the other types of discussions as obviously many people including myself find them stimulating. As we take our collecting and our sports passionately, of course there are going to be disagreements, but my take as a relatively new member is that with perhaps an occasional exception and those folks know who they are the "arguments" are not personal/ad hominem in nature, they simply reflect strongly held views on things that matter to people. And I think a valuable service is performed when people here uncover matters such as the Keeler card that raise serious questions, and I for one commend them for doing so.
