Thanks for the note. We are not in competition with you, nor do we have anything to prove.

Would be happy to meet you at a Yankee game. Unfortunately, we share our seats with two friends (as stated earlier) and they must have the tickets for
that evening.

We will be at the game today (with a close friend) hopefully watching Derek
make history.

Enjoy the sunshine. I am sure our paths will cross at some future date.

Bruce

I'll bet the dog ate your homework a lot back when you were in school...par for the course.

As Rob D said earlier, and even though I feel he was just mocking me, he was correct in that every situation is different. Bruce is unique and garners unique attention. I feel like Bruce knows exactly what strings he is pulling and exactly who he is pissing off. For that reason this thread will continue (at least for now). What was that definition of stupidity again? Something like "doing the same thing and expecting a different result."

Also, if I or another moderator were to censor, delete or lock this thread how would we get to know how Bruce feels? I always would prefer to let people hang themselves instead of stopping them from exposing their ways. I don't think I communicated this very well but ya'll get the point. Happy collecting....

I have been in emails with Bruce this morning. I have let him know that if the argumentative issues continue, with him involved, then he won't be able to post on the board. That means he will probably have to change the way he writes on the board. For those that say this should have been locked already.....thanks for your opinion. I disagree. I would rather let things play out for a while. Bruce emailed me first this morning and then we had a nice conversation about his postings. So, we shall see. And still no locked thread .

If everything were censored quickly then I don't think you get to know the real person. Would it be better to squelch people so we can't make an accurate judgement? Just curious. What's the right answer? Everyone would probably handle these situations a bit differently and in their own manner...

I don't think you'll get to know the real person from any of the posts in this train-wreck of a thread, but I see what you're saying.

Jeff,
you're like Jeter; two away from a milestone!

Hey Leon...I guess you conversations with Bruce have resulted in a change to his approach...got a wonderful PM from him this morning and it looks like he's rather engage me directly than in a public forum. If that means that the rest of you don't have to read his schlock, then it's a cross I'm happy to bear. It's obvious he brings nothing to the table and my only purpose in going back and forth with him was to bring out the true Bruce for all to see.

I am not a trouble maker and I've accomplished what I set out to accomplish here. I am through with my end of this thread and appreciate your tolerance while this played out. I can assure you I won't be a p.i.t.a. moving forward and I'm just looking forward getting back to the FUN part of this forum which is talking about baseball, making trades/purchases and sharing new pickups.

To everyone out there on the board who's suffered through this long and admittedly pointless thread, I apologize for sinking to the level of the Bruces...I hope you won't hold it against me and understand that I was just trying to right a wrong. He is what he is and I know nothing I say, do or think will change that. Best wishes to all of you and hoping we can help each other out at some point in the future...

Lastly, to the couple guys who sent me nice notes of support (you know who you are), thanks for doing so and here's hoping we never have to see this kind of immaturity again...take care...

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I agree 100%.
