One of the reasons I so enjoy Net 54 so much, besides perhaps me being the grandfather of baseball chat rooms with Full Count some 20 odd years ago, is the basic level of civility we show each other rather than the toxic stew that flows out of so many social media sites.
Leon, who I have know for about 25 years, has taken my original primitive effort and brought it up to speed. The features and technology are just terrific. Knowing the honest fellow that he is, I am sure Leon will publicly admit he stole my '38 Goudey Joe DiMaggio in 1996, but I don't expect a public apology. |

This is a good website. Could be great if there weren't so many angry old men here. The angry are drowning out the rest.

If you responded to the OP anything other than 'welcome back let's talk cards' you might be part of the problem. Having an ability to deescalate drama is an important life skill.

1) Erik you left voluntarily, you were not kicked off - so whatever happened between you and said parties is imho between you and said parties.
2) I do understand the "confusion" around the idea of your communicated need to make a public apology. My understanding is a key part of a public apology is "saying out loud" what you stand accountable for - no need to involve the names of other parties, but relevant to state your actions for which you are apologizing. 3) That said, it is your own opinion about a need for a public apology - see #1 4) Welcome back!

No, the guy pretending to have a Wagner was named Andrew Clinton. He *might* have also gone by the name Adrian, although I always thought those were two different people.
Either way; no, it wasn't Erik. The "Nun's Wagner" scammer dude was banned.

chjh: This is a good website. Could be great if there weren't so many angry old men here. The angry are drowning out the rest.
My response: Being that I posted, and I’m 62, I don’t appreciate your comment “Could be great if there weren't so many angry old men here.” chjh: If you responded to the OP anything other than 'welcome back let's talk cards' you might be part of the problem. Having an ability to deescalate drama is an important life skill. My response: In reference to your two comments above, you failed to display the ability to deescalate drama, which is an important life skill, as you stated. I don’t see any anger from any of the post. Just some confused and questioning the purpose of a public apology, when the public doesn’t understand what the public apology is specifically for. I think if the OP posted something like, “Hey guys, been away for a while, but now I’m back” the OP would have received nothing but “Welcome back let’s talk cards.” I showed my wife the OP’s post. Wife: What is he apologizing for? Me: I don’t know. Wife: Then why is he making a public apology? Me: I don’t know As Aquarian Sports Cards posted: “But if it doesn't involve us, why involve us? Make your apologies to the aggrieved parties (and he says he did) and call it a day, no? I don't care either way, but I will say the post is confusing to me.” This is same reasoning for those posts that were perceived as negative and angry. |

Can a well-meaning gesture set up a 60-post train wreck of a debate. How about we call it a day folks?

Of course you're gonna have that person who comes in and says this apology is not "good enough". OF COURSE you are. As long as the parties involved are cool why should anybody care for or need to know details? Geez Louise.

Adrian was a guy from Canada, Andrew I believe was from Tennessee, two different guys. Adrian was banned eventually. Adrian had some issues and developed a reputation for reneging on purchase commitments, although I don't think he ever failed to deliver on a card he sold. To this day I regret not buying a 311 he offered me at what even then was a very low price, I just didn't trust him and he refused to go through an intermediary. Another member ended up getting the card.

Erik V,
I would like to end this thread with an apology to you for what should have been nothing but a "feel good" post for you. Sometimes conversations take a turn in a different direction, but I know no one meant any harm. Wish you nothing but the best! |

From an online article.
An apology must convey a sense of recognition to the aggrieved. The apology issuer should correctly state what they have done wrong and connect that to the experience of the aggrieved.

Well, since the initial post in this thread does not actually qualify as an apology in the eyes of many of us, then we don't know if Peter "cannot simply take an apology" because none was given for him to potentially take.

Reading this, there went 15 minutes in my life that I will not get back.
I think I will apologize to myself.

Are we so starved for drama that we're going to make it out of a thread about a public apology about a private incident that not a single person here seems to know what the heck was even going on with?

“What do I do to make net54er’s love me? Oh, what have I gotta do to be heard by Spaeth and others? What do I do when negative posts strike me? What have I gotta do? What have I gotta do? Oooh, sorry seems to be the hardest, most confusing, unclear, bloody purposeless and quite ill-defined word...”

+1 to Don M's wife's analysis.
This thread has exhausted most all potential for improvement of the dialog, the thread, and the board. Mr. Leon, I move and vote that you pull the plug on this thread. Have mercy on us. |

Adrian appeared to have a mental disorder, and I felt sorry for him.
