Oh OK I thought when I checked Wonka's ID a while ago it didn't show him as banned but so be it.

I didn't think he was banned either Peter, I thought he sold everything (hobby related) and is no longer in the hobby.

From looking at his profile and post history, his profile doesn't show banned, but it does look like he was put in the penalty box several years ago and that was the end of his posting here.

He is now banned and I thought he already was. There were about 5 longtime members, him included, that were shown the door right after I sold my first collection. I think they were all shown the door within a few days of each other. IMO, every one needed to go, no regrets whatsoever. And a few more could actually get shown the door too for how they treated me when I sold my collection. There is one more that really needs to go. It could still happen.

Without trying to differentiate between on the board and off the board, I miss my chats with Bloomy, Keith Mitchell, Lew Lipset, Barry Sloate, and Joe Pelaez. Most of you have probably never heard of Keith, but he was an hobby pioneer who helped me immensely when I started collecting Old Judges. I miss him.

I miss Bob Lemke. A wealth of information and didn’t mind sharing it. How is Lew Lipset doing, haven’t heard his name in awhile.

I miss pretty much all of them, including the banned ones, and the ones banned for being bizarrely scammy.
Did some of them annoy the ____ out of me? Of course, some here still do. But that's people, and I wouldn't change it if I could.

When I finally decided to join it was largely because I saw a few names I knew from ads over the years, who were guys I was sure knew some stuff. Like Barry Sloate.

Leon, Is there a post about this? I am somewhat new so don’t know what happened when you sold.

He had at least two posts/threads that IMO easily surpassed Bruce's, one on Joe Jackson and one on the Virginia Tech shooting. In the end, he did need to be banned, but his entertainment value was off the charts.
