Correction, three, Perezfan also deleted his post.

I think there are 4 people who deleted posts not to mention one person who as recent as a week ago has been on a mission to attack the auction house in question at every chance but on this thread he actually promoted the sale and gave props to the house. Could be that someone's lawyer drafted a letter or email.

I love the silence afterwards. No hesitation sharing their opinions publicly about why they felt the mitt did not id but unwilling to share the basis for retracting the original opinion. That has to be kept quiet. LOL.

I wonder how many lawsuits were threatened?

I look forward to this convincing evidence being added to the auction description.

May not be enough time to get to that with all the time needed with his lawyer. That's the way it is done but maybe next time.

I don't think Goldin is an advertiser on this forum any longer.

That would be correct. On this locked thread on Ken Goldin, http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=155017, post 270, Leon states that he is no longer an advertiser.

They did change the Williams jersey item description after contacting me. No lawyer needed and no retraction from my stance. They did a good job on that one certainly.

Sending a BS cease and desist warning, threatening to break someone financially in a time consuming fruitless lawsuit whether they are right or wrong, but just for offering an opinion is a sad business practice.

It's unfortunate that this has become a commonplace situation. It seems if I was sitting on the bench, I would clearly voice some serious disdain to the party that brought this to my court.

Commonsense can more often than not clarify slanderous or defaming statements from opinion.
