Rob D.

I've also had pleasant dealings with Rob. I hope his timeout is temporary. I could think of several dozen board members I'd rather do without than Rob.

Everything Ed wrote is what I agree with.

Wow, I just noticed this thread... I'm not sure what happened, as I didn't see anything "Vile" in Rob's post, but I hope his ban is temporary as well. Rob has a fantastic collection, a wealth of knowledge and has always been an excellent seller and trader.

Be well Brian

It is interesting that all the good members he berated aren't applauding his
banishment...a "leader" on this board has stated several times, and I'm paraphrasing, we all make mistakes, it's how one fixes his mistakes that defines him...

Unfortunately, Mike, many times we are instead defined by how loud the trolls and nits are who latch onto our asses when we make a mistake.

We're all human, but on the internet much less so.

Well said, Scott

Less is more - unless , of course, he was Les Rohr.

I don't think I've ever been called an ass latching troll or nit, but if what I've stated in this thread makes me one or both then so be it.

A friend was called a vile pr*** after being banned, with no way to respond on the board. That may be Leon's opinion of him, but it's not mine, in fact just the opposite. There are people that don't know Rob on here and may take his opinion as gospel, so I was just stating my opinion of Rob and his character from my experiences. I don't seem to be alone in my opinion.

I don't think I have latched on to anyone's ass, but you are certainly free to see it differently.

A "good" member trolled me on the PSA boards. I mean, this guy was a total piece of crap. Calling me at my job. Posting personal information about me on a public site. I spoke out vocally about it on the PSA boards, and then I too got banned. Maybe the people he berated are worried about the same fate?

Edit to add: I don't know Rob D personally. I know of him from this board and the PSA board. He seemed alright to me.
