New to Net54

I only received my first and only warning from this incident and honestly, it really ticked me off because now anyone that has a beef with BBG needs to just keep it to themselves for fear of losing their posting privileges. I can tell you my post was not attacking but a simple disagreement over ideas and yet I got reported.

I try to never bring issues from CU to these boards but I just wanted to let the Net54 boards know what kind of poster were are potentially dealing with here. Leon, I know you run things much different than CU and for that I am grateful. I hope Paul does as others have mentioned, as a new poster...sit tight, read and learn before trying to be a big player on these boards. Contribute when you can but dont try to me anything more than you are.

I can't "verify" the reason I was kicked off CU but I have a pretty good idea... Needless to say I was HATED by 2 or 3 people, and seemed to have no problems with others.

I know Leon will not put up with any of the BS that was able to happen on the CU boards and I am comforted by the fact that proper clean-up will happen if the need occurs. I hope it doesn't.

Thanks for the kind words Sean et al... I am confident BBG (Paul) will do fine at our forum. We are different than most others, or especially the CU one. I think the main difference is that no one here will be hiding behind a user id/keyboard in arguments or with quick witted jabs. Say what you want but be man (or woman ) enough to put your name by it. I think most on this forum know how it is run and the parameters and rules we have. I don't see that changing. Happy collecting.

Like I said, I really hope we have no problems, the hike in users is nothing but GOOD regardless of where they come from or who they are. I'm one of those guys that goes by "forgive and forget".

I almost always forgive.....as for forgetting, that just comes naturally. Our board doesn't forget anything though .

I post on the CU board once in a wile (as do others from Net54), but I don't say anything divisive about PSA products so can't imagine I'd get in trouble. I don't collect graded cards, so don't have anything divisive to say.

I am unaware of the issues that are being spoken of here. No interaction at all with CU.

Being involved only in this forum for vintage collectibles, I certainly hope it remains as has been.
