Dan....you stated. " Unlike many others around here I wouldn't mind if you stayed. You clearly have a decent knowledge of vintage cards and a nice collection. However, if you do stay can you please tone it down a notch? You may have recorded with the best musicians and played golf with Michael Jordan and Donald Trump and slept with the world's most beautiful women (though I am unsure that you are exactly what you purport to be), but you needn't bring those things up on a daily basis. Many of the people on this board also have accomplished great things, amassed vast fortunes, and built world class baseball card collections, but they don't feel the need to shout it from the rooftops at every opportunity. I've found that just about everyone here is incredibly kind, generous, and respectful. Please do your part to keep the board that way, and allow it to continue to be informative and entertaining (note: none of the recent antics have been entertaining -- not to me anyway). So, should you choose to stay (or if you are ALLOWED to stay), please just take it down a notch and keep the talk to (mostly) baseball. You're a nonconformist, and I can respect that, but all of the nonsensical attention-grabbing has got to stop.





What tickles me about this board is how when people ask questions then they try and turn it around on the person when they respond. Case in point. Check the Jim Bunning thread. Akatz starts spouting off at Lichtman and asks him questions which there was no need for so when Lichtman responded........-Gasp-.....because he is a defense attorney.....-Gasp-....... Akatz turned it around and made Lichtman out to be a self absorbant arrogant rich type who gets drug dealers and known murderers off. Am i the only person that sees this? Talk about trash talking and below the belt....where was the chocolate eclair spaceship and border patrol when that was going on?



When i speak of myself or accomplishments it is always after someone either asks me a question or questions what i have done. Never have i started a thread.......ohhhhhhhh.....wheeeeeeeee....everybod y......wwwoooookkkieeeee.... at me.

Most of the time someone will say i can't find your record label or i have never heard of you or you do not own any tobacco cards or you do not know Marily Manson.....now when i respond then on comes my group of hecklers saying .......zrrrrrrrrrrrr.....zrrrrrrrrrrr...whistles sounds........chococlate eclair spaceship arrives........ i start getting pummeled with gobstoppers......you are nothing but a self absorbant arrogant nobody Happy Gilmour wannabe blah blah blah.........kinda sounds a tad like the Jim Bunning thread now don't it.



Also i will state i have several jewish friends and did not state that to in anyway to belittle jews or anyone else. My point was made about the energy of the the room and the way control was being handled so what i should have said is something like "this is not russia Danny" is this Russia?
