Posting a link of a member who was banned? What have I done so horrible as to deserve a ban? I gave my opinion regarding the Cobb/Cobb back (in which both REA ans Scot Reader have also talked about). I disagree about current pricing on a card type. I ask about the actual disparity between the rare backs rankings. I call a fellow member out for trying to use me as leverage to win an auction without my knowing. I post a genuine BST ad in which others who are not interested in conducting that specific transaction ruin it for me.

Exactly what have I done to deserve a ban? I have never threatened anyone in here. I have never been outright disrespectful to anyone here (unless they took a shot at me first). I have not tried to decieve anyone. So what is the reason you would post a link to another member who was bannished?

Pissing David off takes a pretty huge effort.

Here’s my take on Phil.

I think Phil is an overzealous investor into this hobby. We know he likes to play with Gold. He also seems to like the Mad Money type approach to talking about his investments… super hype and over discussion etc.

I think Phil is under the impression that if he can discuss something such as one brand back ad nauseum his purchase will grow in value before his own eyes. I think folks like Phil really think this stuff trades on huge swings up and down. When in fact for the most part most all cards trade in relatively known values with very little in the way of huge swings that is unless one holds them for years and years. There are a few exceptions but not many.

I also think Phil is spending big bucks for Phil (nothing wrong with that) even perhaps spending a bit out of his comfort zone? Perhaps having multiple discussions on the board with the same round about message helps justify the purchases. And validate what he’s doing.

With that said most folks on here are horrible card investors as we are collectors and since most folks cards aren’t for sale…it makes it hard to turn a profit. LOL

Most folks also are here to learn and need very little in the way of validation for purchases; very few of us would drop our collection because we had a few bad days on a chat board.

Just my two cents.

Rob makes an excellent point. If everywhere you go it's you against the world, maybe the world isn't the problem.

Take half the time you invest in defending yourself and spend it reflecting on how the board views your tone and with a little tweaking you may contribute without it evolving into something other than a discussion about vintage baseball cards.

I'm actually not convinced you're not a troll. Perhaps the perfect troll. So annoying that you ruin the board for everyone, but nothing so over-the-top to warrant getting banned outright.

David just had a big birthday yesterday. He's now at that age where he says exactly what he thinks.

And probably exactly what the rest of us are thinking as well.

If an outright banning isn't warranted how about a 30 day timeout? I believe there is a precedent and would restore some order to the board.
