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

I think people (myself included) get on Marshall for a variety of reasons.

1. He's an easy and obvious target. He came on the board loud and attacking, and people don't like that approach.

2. His choice of people to attack seems odd. He goes after Barry, Joann, Joshua, and Al. These are people generally considered to be even tempered and likable. If he was just rude to Bruce, or a couple of others, people would view him differently.

3. He's a square peg trying hard to fit in a round hole, and I don't just mean the board, but life in general. Guys like him were funny back in college, but most grew out of it.

I could probably go on for a while, but anyone asking why we're "quick to jump on a guy like Marshall", is just spoiling for a fight himself.

My point exactly.

Well, I did offer other reasons. LOL.


And I don't think everyone is giving a free pass to all the great guys, but I hear what you're saying. I think "great guys" who have been PROVEN to be guilty will have a tough time rehabbing themselves in this industry, but those just accused will be able to skate by for a while. If onl;y there was some way to get these guys under oath and deposed.

I think it's pretty obvious that some of these guys are in a pretty steep downward spiral. But I will bet that a pretty good percentage of their major customer base has no idea of the problems we discuss here. But the word will eventually get out. Just hope too many more people (consignors and bidders) don't get burned in the end.
