Past events that i will address.......

[Al C.risafulli]

You see Al the point i was trying to make is that if you have nothing positive to say then do not post. I do not think i am misunderstood, i think a majority of folks understand me quite well.

I think everyone here understands you, Marshall, and that is very much the point.

You're happy to suggest that someone who has nothing positive to say should not post, but you're not content to take your own advice. What could have served as a nice try at an apology instead came off as another self-serving rant that placed the blame at the feet of those people who are offended by your inane yammering.

It could have gone like this:

MARSHALL: I'm really sorry for being insensitive and coming off like an idiot; I really enjoy this community and I'd like to be a part of it.

COMMUNITY: Well, okay, we'll give it another shot.

Instead, it goes like this:

MARSHALL: If you don't like the things I say, then you shouldn't listen, and you definitely shouldn't take offense because I'm only joking.

COMMUNITY: (anger)

But you don't get it, because there's clearly something wrong with your digestive system which is causing your intestinal gas to back up into your brain.

Aside from prattling on about your peace pipe cards and your hundred-dollar auction, I have seen absolutely zero useful, on-topic posts from you. You exist solely to type irritating and insulting things, pull the board off-topic, and generally get people pissed.

So yeah, I'm irritated that you're here again. You're like the Swine Flu - nobody wants you but you keep coming around, when you're here you get everyone all uptight, but really you're just a headache and some mucus.

-Al

Edited to add: I'm not one to attack people personally or even start fights on message boards. Anyone who might be wondering where this post is coming from, I urge you to find some of Mr. Barkman's jabs at Joann, and then ask how someone who could be so crude toward such a respected contributor to this board could possibly be allowed to remain here.

Has Joann been posting? Have not seen her here for a while.

Marshall- can you show us some of your vintage basebal cards? Do you collect cards? I must be in the minority, but this guy says some funny sh*t. Bring the noise!

[Reginald Marsh]

Well chiprop according to the "click" i do not have any cards or money for that matter. I'm just a lowlife who happens to love watching beautiful women sway.........sigh.........here are a few of my beaters that i somehow managed to obtain with my panhandling.

I guess I am now on the other side of the fence and let me be the first to apologize to Marshall...

Marshall, I am sorry that a year ago I pointed out the inconsistencies in your stories and tales. Your hyperbole and exaggeration are to be commended. I am also sorry that I did not realize right away that we had a near golf champion who once had one great round in a PGA qualifying event. Good job!

Marshall, I am sorry that you seem to have taken the good natured ribbing here so to heart and had to come on and defend yourself from the likes of Joann and Barry. It was totally unfair for them to have feelings about what you said about them.

Marshall, I am sorry that I ever doubted that you collected cards, you obviously have a collection of at least four cards. I hope Bruce makes you a fair offer for them. They are beautiful!

Marshall, I am sorry that you seem to have a problem expressing yourself in an adult manner. I feel that, as adults, many here may have difficulty understanding your speaking patterns and content. The good news is that I understand it since I am regularly around elementary children in my capacity as a teacher.

Marshall, I am sorry that I might have a difficulty understanding how one person might find something offensive and one person might not. I did not understand that on a public forum about baseball cards that a poster, such as yourself, should be allowed to spout whatever he wants and damn all if he upsets people more respected than himself.

Marshall, I am sorry that you were not given the same amount of respect Barry, Leon, Peter, etc. enjoy the second you found this forum and posted. That was definitely an oversight on our part. As you seem to keep trying to say, respect is not earned, it should be given outright!

For all these lapses, Marshall, I am truly sorry.

Joshua, you owe me a fold next Hold'em game as I just lost a drink of beer through my nose reading your post. Thank you very much.

Why is it that the board is so quick to jump on a guy like Marshall who, while occasionally obnoxious, by all accounts has never ripped anyone off? Yet so many on the board are just as quick to defend great guys who routinely steal from hobbyists? The obvious answer is that so many of said hobbyists routinely make make money as consignors off the fraud perpetrated by some really great guys -- even at the expense of the rest of us. Maybe some of the impressive umbrage displayed here could be directed at the thieves of our hobby instead of Marshall.

She's been very busy working towards becoming a lawyer...I know she made a very nice pickup on ebay a few weeks back so she's still involved in the hobby.

I must say there is something very cool about the E253 Oxford Confectionary series. The Walter Johnson in the set is one of my fav cards. I should probably re submit the card because i think it is in ex condition.
