My answer to David Atkatz

[chaddurbin]

it's great to have richard jim et al around when you start threads asking for authenticity of a certain sig or item, but when threads like this pop up you guys complain and want it off the board. that's the autography hobby. you have "experts" who are used to giving opinions and disagreeing with each other giving opinions and arguing with each other.

a majority of the threads here are asking for free authentication or the experts get into it, it is what it is.

This thread would be left well enough alone if Jaffe wrote his peace (if a man gets attacked, he should be allowed to as such), David responds and that's it. It's made worse when people with no connection complain that they don't like something that someone has written. You don't like this thread, move along. Your opinion and complaint doesn't really matter in this instance and is really rather classless to be honest with you. It's gotten to a point now where it's common that if something doesn't interest someone to make snarky comments and add their two cents. I like Coachs Corner threads and threads where an auction house or authenticator fouled up and if you don't understand that this forum belongs to us all and just because you don't like something someone may like reading about it and commenting as such may simply run people away (like myself) who is here to educate myself (hopefully without being attacked which is David's m-o) and learn more about the happenings of this particular collecting genre. Nobody seems to respect anybody here and it's actually rather sad to be honest with you.

Well said Larry. In this instance the original attack came in the Heritage lengthy thread , when Shelly was attacked by Mr Atkatz.
Shelly's post to start this thread is his answer.

Larry- what you may or may not realize is members are sick and tired of the same bull shit...move on!! Hell, we all know by now that there are suspicious things going on with autographed memorabilia. This has been going on since moby dick was a minnow! You guys need to express your differences by way of another venue......please, this is borderline ridiculous! 95% of NET54 members are sick of it regardless of how comical the reading is.....

Kevin is (allegedly) the "Cooperstown Forger".

How in the hell do you respond to someone with user name "deer tick"? I would rather deal with elephant flea
