An Open Letter to the Forum - Re: Bruce Dorskin (suspended)

Our Posts

Everyone of our 100+ posts focused on a hobby or card issue, with the exception of four that discussed the publication of new book about baseball history or the hobby.

Many of the posts raised questions about the rarity of certain items or called for recognizing achievement. Recognition is an integral part of life in a capitalist, competitive society. Few hobbies, at least at the high end, are as competitive as baseball memorabilia. There are a number of ultra left liberals who would pay through the nose to obtain a card they want.

When our posts gravitate to personal attacks, we respond in kind. If someone wants to call us a name or attack our lifestyle or make-up stories about
our apartment or collection, so be it. But you can expect a response.

There are no threats. We simply told Exhibit Man that we were looking forward to his demise. We did not threaten him in any way shape or form.
We are not interested in stupid responses, personal commentary or a group of uneducated slobs attacking us when they have not had any dealings with us.
As far as we are concerned those folks should stick to chewing tobacco and watching Springer tv reruns.

If we choose to write in the royal "we" that is a conscious decision which is part of what has been an extremely successful marketing strategy.
If we mention a card from our collection and note that is the highest grade, we are simply stating a fact.

We are not interested in fighting, but if you want to shoot an arrow, we are willing to return the favor with a nuclear war head.

As many collectors have noted, both privately and publicly, our posts are among the most interesting. The posts cause problems
when a select group of sarcastic individuals attack us or make us part of their Steinfeld jokes.
We have never begun a post that attacked anyone, nor have we ever participated in the endless Steinfeld humor.

Anyone wishing to contact us, may do so through the board.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Bruce
