Here's my 10 cents, my two cents is free...
Animals get hit by cars all the time - I hate the times when I've been the one driving, and I cringe when I see an animal by the side of the road. But IMO some people are wound a little tight on the cat picture. There was no animal abuse or cruelty in the picture, merely what some (many?) believe is bad taste. I don't begrudge those feelings at all - everyone is entitled to their beliefs. Me, I have always found humor in that picture. It's been around for a LONG time. Maybe I (and others who find similar humor) are a little twisted, and I'm okay if you think that. I like irreverent humor and humor that pokes a little fun at difficult situations or subjects. It helps lighten, at least to me, what can sometimes be a pretty tough world. And again, if that type of humor doesn't jive with you, that's cool. That said, the torches and pitchforks that came out in the other thread were juuuuuuust a little over the top. To quote the late, great Sergeant Hulka, "Lighten up, Francis".

Sorry to hear that, Kevin. I really am.
Making that drive to the vet is really one of the hardest things a man is tasked to do.

I agree with a suspension and explanation for that so he understands what he did wrong, but the term ban was used. There are a lot of people on this board who are a pain in the ass, that's not appropriate for banning - especially when he ships what you buy and pays for what he buys. I am trying to be impartial here.
This is a vintage baseball card forum. Even though we all use a small part of that in the B/S/T, I do not think the reason Leon banned him was due to the fact he does or doesn't conduct buying and selling appropriately. The discussion should be mostly about vintage sports cards, not stupid jokes. We can all be funny. I can post sick pictures and make jokes about Hillary Clinton all day long, but that would inappropriate for this forum and should warrant a suspension or even warning at the very least. Memberships here should not be weighed on who buys and sells and purchases banners, but those who share, read and contribute about vintage cards. Period. Post your jokes on facebook and twitter.

You are absolutely right, especially if you are in the room with him. I will never do that again...

Not going to take the bait and get into another petty back and forth with you Bobby. I said that I don't begrudge others their feelings. If I wasn't clear enough, then I apologize to you in particular and the board in general and will explain further: I definitely understand that many find that picture, and other likewise irreverent pictures, in extremely poor taste, and I understand why they do. Saying that, I found the reaction of many to be way over the top. That's my opinion, and I'm entitled to it. You believe otherwise, and you likewise are entitled to your belief.
Good day, sir.
