And for a guy who loves to talk about the empires and collection that he's built you'd think he could spring for a scanner or digital camera and show us something once in a while instead of constantly reminding us how "elite" it is.

Dan totally agree Bruce can be a rough individual to deal with, he comes off way over the top. Bruce has also said some pretty amazing stuff that are serious WTF moments. Heck I also got threatened to be sued back in the day too. LOL
I hear you about hypocrisy Dan but let’s also talk about naivety for a moment.
You guys Leon and you both gave Bruce the boot awhile back for these very things you and others here complain about. Yet Bruce has been Bruce and will always be Bruce but you let him come back Dan.
Then you act all shocked or ticked off that he’s back in the mix with elitist comments and social economic baseball card speculative whale watching threads.
This train wreck as well as any others here that are sure to come from Bruce is as much on the mods hands as any members.
Let’s face it you know these guys are going to take shots at Bruce and you know Bruce is going to shoot back and as Barry says….here we go again….
Just my two cents here; I get my chops busted when I have disagreements with board members who are willingly messing with known hobby information and passing on bogus hobby information to our members all of which is on topic BTW and get told to play nice.
However letting a guy back in who both of you darn well know has history of having knock down drag outs that have very little to do with the original post well is exactly what you mentioned hypocritical.
Dan the only thing that is more hypocritical than Bruce crying foul over nasty comments Dan, is moderators who let him back in at some point rolling into a thread after letting him back knowing who Bruce is and saying “come on guys back on topic, and play nice.”
On a plus side his threads do get some view counts and posts….al of which is why Bruce lights everyone’s fires and pushes everyone’s buttons IMO.
