Yes, I admit that I went with the crowd regardless if it was tasteful or tasteless. I wont deny anything.

But I think if you want to post screenshots of dirty laundry, I think it would only be fair that you PM me who gave you those. Im not mad at them but I would like to know.

And if I hurt your feelings, PM me about it.
Im not sure why you are singling me out. We have never even shared PMs here or on CU. You are acting like Im the only bad guy.

People do talk whether it be on public forums, private forums, PMs, on the phone, what ever. Sometimes the discussions are not favorable to certain people. I saw something I thought ridiculous and I commented on something ridiculous. Opinions are like....well, you know the saying.

People have made fun of me collecting cards for years. Im sure not going to let it bother me. And if it bothers you that someone laughs at what you collect, then I will publicly apologize to you as well....Im sorry.

Sorry Bob.

The only reason I visited this thread is because it was brought to my attention that Dan Bessette (DBesse27) has been saying here on net54 that there are rumors I called Bobby's place of work. I don't believe it for one bit that these rumors are legit, I think he and his CU buddies are just trying to stir the pot here like they have over on CU.

After work and spending time with my son I only get a couple hours a week to devote to my collecting. I don't have time to deal with their childish, amateurish, and downright vindictive behavior - and I'm pretty sick of it.

Patrick, for what it's worth: you might very well be the last person that I would have suspected or accused of calling his place of employment.

To keep you in the discussion in this post, what is up with deleting so many of your posts?

This isn't a matter of making fun of someone who collects cards, we all have experienced this and it's usually all in good fun, ie: wife not understanding our cardboard passion, but what you all did is one of the most disrespectful things I've encountered in my life.

For those who may not know, I started a project of building a 1989 Topps Hockey set, goal all PSA 10 and all cards pulled from packs. These guys encouraged others to praise the progress of the set on CU in an effort to keep me motivated and "waste more money" on the project. - so all along I'm thinking, wow these guys actually find this as interesting as I do, but in reality they were making fun of it and enjoying the amount of money "wasted"

Unless someone posts something that needs to be addressed I'm not posting anymore to this thread. Happy collecting.

It was pretty bad. Alot of vulgarity. Alot of making fun of people. Imagine a website that took all the banned assholes from PSA and they put them all on their own website. Yea, it was that shitty.

Did you really just use vulgarity to denigrate a site that used vulgarity?

And where else were the banned iceholes supposed to go? Quit the hobby? Heck, since they were bammed from CU, they didn't even have a place to go to announce they were quitting the hobby!

Seriously, though. The place was started by Matt (lawnmowerman) as a place for friends to hang out without many of the restrictions of other boards. Yes, there were many bammed CU members there (but WAY more members that had full posting privileges there and elsewhere). Yes, there were inappropriate things said and pictures posted in one subforum. But don't paint the place like that's all it was - that's not close to truthful, and I think the site's detractors know that. I know people tend to focus on the controversial things but proper recognition should be given for the many things that had nothing to do with the 'bad' stuff.

Touche...you got me on my one word. However, don't paint it out like the board was watching the musical "The Sound of Music". It was one of the most vile, foul mouthed boards I have ever seen. The few threads I read were talking about ripping off members personal body parts. It was also rare to see a thread WITHOUT foul language on it. To think talk like that is OK, is unacceptable. It was disgusting.
