Ted ZanidakisI opened this thread with it's title....
"T206 JACK DUNN....Babe Ruth's 1st manager"
As, I like to post interesting stories on not-to-well known T206 Subjects. And, I thought Dunn's
story would be of great interest to Net54 members, who were unaware of the starting role Dunn
played in Ruth's career.
Yes, I rue the moment that I even brought up the vertical/horizontal aspect of this card. I didn't
expect the controversy that ensued.
So, I deleted that sentence in my initial post here regarding the vertical/horizontal aspect of the
Jack Dunn card because it was causing a distraction to my original intent of this thread regarding
Jack Dunn and Babe Ruth.
Was there some "diabolical" reason for my deleting this sentence....I don't think so !
I simply did it to get the conversation on this thread back On-Topic for new readers accessing it.
In any event Rob, tell me what you are alluding to here, as I don't quite understand it......? ?
"The editing of posts can change the perception of the flow of discussion. When Ted later
bemoaned the fact that his thread was "hijacked" by the horizontal-vertical debaters, he
appeared to have a valid point, because his original comment on the subject -- the first
one posted on the thread -- had been deleted."
Lastly, I'm really not annoyed when opinions differ from mine. I have posted so-called controversial
threads in the past just to motivate a good discussion. In this case, if some one posts a criticism
of me (or for that matter anyone else) that is blatantly false....you darn right I will be contentious.
