best net 54 threads of alltime?

Bruce can't come on to defend himself because he's been banned. There's something that makes me uncomfortable about giving people free rein to lambast a person, yet denying that person the right to respond. Perhaps the Board should consider a policy that restricts negative comments about people who are banned. Just my two cents.

Bruce just made three deals for some of the finest cards extant on his wantlist since this thread started.

If you decide to do a "best of" forum, It would be appropriate with our devotion to sports and memorabilia to call it the "Hall of fame of Postings".

In reading the open letter to Ted Taylor, I see how active the board used to be compared with lately. Is that because it was an extremely "hot" topic or is it more that board partcipation down?

This board is busier than back then..you just don't notice it because the forum is now broken down into separate sections...it used to be one board for everything.

Any thread that contributed to me gaining knowledge of collecting and the T206 set. I do not come here for drama but sometimes its entertaining to stir the pot.

Mike, the "Open Letter to STAT and Chris Morales" thread was and still is a very hot topic. I wish I had participated in that thread but I was not aware of Net54 until October 2008 when I first doing my YouTube videos.

Just another reason that I like the corned beef hash thread...It was when I first learned it was you that did those videos(I had suspected it beforehand though).. Honestly Chris, you're one of my favorite people to read posts from on this board. Anytime a questionable autograph comes up, I can't wait to hear what you have to say..

David, thank you very much for that flattering comment.

You guys have no idea how much I have learned since I first joined Net54. This is a wonderful place to learn from so many knowledgeable collectors and great people.

And Leon does one helluva job here!!!

Hi Corey
Absolutely, and you are correct. I am very tenacious in watching what is said about anyone that can not defend themselves. I see nothing in this thread where Brucii (his own affirmation) is getting lambasted. One tiny bit was the post AFTER yours but it's not that bad either. The fact we are talking about Brucii's idiocy in suing a computer process, to me, does not rise to the level of anyone bashing him. This is absolute fact and he wrote it on the board. He is the one that did it, not us. For us to point it out doesn't mean we are bashing him, we are merely talking about a thread. And lastly, you as much as anyone, should be aware of the bashing emails he has sent around concerning myself, and the irony of that, is that I am the only moderator that has usually taken up for him. So, to your question about a rule concerning bashing folks who can't defend themselves, we are in total agreement, and there is an unwritten rule that I do try to enforce when appropriate.

Thanks for the response Leon. Perhaps I was too limiting in what I said. I think there should also be prosciptions on making fun of banned posters in such a manner that the person if not banned would feel a need to respond and would if permitted to. Also, the references to Bruce in this thread go beyond just the Archive thread. I am mindful of some of the emails you received, but have always felt two wrongs don't make a right, not to mention that you weren't prevented from responding to those emails. Bruce at this point is down and out. I see no need to pile on.

It is also a bit difficult to defend someone that continues to slam me. And as for the emails, most were sent to my friends WITHOUT me being included in them, if you remember correctly. So I am not sure how one responds to an email that one isn't included on?
No, two wrongs don't make a right, but two Wongs make some great fried rice!! (only joking, please no hate emails)

The next time I feel sorry for Bruce....well, there won't be a next time.

While Corey makes a fair point, if Bruce were allowed to respond it would be a guaranteed train wreck in the making. This thread would go on for three days. Maybe better we leave it as is.
