I hear you about the ignore feature. But can't we express how these kinds of psot bother us too? It's not that I have thin skin. I'm just looking to enjoy the Board and feel educated by posts. Right now I feel like I'm being lectured day in day out.

It is a fine line about moderating. It's kind of like porn . I can't really define it but I know when something needs to be done about it. My MO has always been to have as open of a forum as possible as long as folks put their name by their posts. It will continue that way too. I will politely ask Travis (hi Travis) to tone it down a bit.....and if it gets out of hand I will PM him to chat about it. As far as outing bad things in the hobby, that is what the board is partly for. I hope it continues.

So just because they have more than one 'team' it means one is better or worse than the other for sure? I know it is possible but shouldn't anyone authenticating be on the same level? How can you be sure some are worse than others? I would expect if you had the business to have four 'teams' each 'team' is still someone who could authenticate had the item been sent directly to JSA.

Edit after reading Leon's post:
I agree, there is good/bad/ugly and if you want to stay away from bad and ugly there are certain links you shouldn't click, or you should simply stop reading and move along. I personally like to see some of the darker things that go on in the hobby, it brings light to things I normally would never have known including forgeries and fakes.... There is a point where it becomes too much and is simply bashing though.
