Greg,

I try not to get involved in Adrain's drama, so I'm not following. If you're saying he reneged on deals even after he admitted his mistake and apologized, then please continue to roast him - he's learned nothing. But if he hasn't reneged on any deals since his apology and refrains from doing so in the future, then everyone should cut him some slack and give him another chance to repair his reputation. If that's the case, all I am saying is people deserve second chances. I know I've screwed up many times and I'm grateful to those that forgave me and gave me a second chance.

Regards,

David

David I believe two things actually happened since his apology which prolonged the thread....

1. He was caught buying a card from someone else after claiming he had a financial emergency...

And 2. Came forth with an opinion that changing your mind freely on transactions is ok and in general was trying to justify his actions

Wait a minute.. He is back to buying more cards. I thought his pet was dying and he had to fly his family in from Europe for the last rites? Could someone please just post a brief summary so I don't have to go back through the thread... Or someone could just make a movie out of it...
"a young Mountie, fresh out of Mountie school inherits a rare coin, selling it for $250,000! But his poor hamster Fluffy is dying of a rare gluten intolerance disease... Instead of selling his rare Mickey mantle card to pay off debts, he chooses to skip out on some legally binding contracts in the name of freedom and the Canadian dream. So he decides to use his fortune to fly in specialists from abroad to cure poor Fluff. A band of worthless criminals called "the Net54 crew" are out to stop him. On July 4th, go to your local theater to see "the Zone", and see for your self if freedom does really exist."

Starring Kevin Bacon as Adrian, Tom Selleck as Leon and Rodney the gerbil as Fluffy
