Why is everyone afraid to post the name of a forger in this thread? And why does this have to get so personal?

Dan- fair question and I will answer with a question.
How many times have you been sued in connection with this business?
Twice for me.
Almost $40,000 in out of pocket legal fees.
And while I know this person is a forger, I don't have anything that will stand up in court as hard evidence.
And people in the know are well aware of who this person is. I have already received a scan of one of his forgeries from an interested reader.
Jimmy knows his name, the guys at PSA know his name, most auction house personnel would know his name too.

I have no opinion and dont want to get into this mess. But david has helped me when ever i have had a question about items.

But I'd like to see copies of his work, can you show some Richard? I think its unfair, like Dan said you guys are telling David that it's not real or anything. But giving no proof behind it. Provide something dealing with it being fake or so.

Agree...

This has become a trainwreck, but parts of the thread are very interesting (and potentially informative). If Richard can post some examples of this guy's "work", it would be very interesting and most beneficial to see.

The legal ramifications are understood, and we don't need to see his name... but it would be both interesting and helpful to see some of his "creations".

Nice that you found that little piece, Richard. I know you found lots more, as well.

There's quite a different result obtained between Googling me, and Googling you.

Aw shucks David,,, no low ratings for me among collectors, only low ratings for you from students at Skidmore.
No dirt on me as you might imply.
Your posts are loaded with innuendo and question marks,,
Your (sarcasm) e mail confesses to getting an atty.letter from Prisco, then another e mail apologizes to me and then you start not one but two threads designed to make me look bad.
Has anyone here thought that David's e mail about Prisco's atty. was sarcasm??
Why the apology e mail and then an attack?
Sounds like you have a borderline personality disorder to me, David.
One minute you are the good David, the next minute you are the sour, bitter David.

I'm not talking about dirt, Richard. I'm talking about accomplishments, and the contributions made to one's field.

Google me. Google you.

The difference is quite clear.

Richard,

Your continuous ranting does not bode well for you in my opinion. "Aimless agenda" appears to be the motive here...

The sad part here is that both of these guys are on the good side of the fence...a nice discussion can be possible without googling each other to try and dig up dirt. There is no evil past to Richard or David. Let's turn this thread into something positive. Let's see some examples of this forger and let's hear some reasons why our board experts believe it came from the forger.

Here ya go professor (can we still call you that?, even with such a low rating).
This scan was sent to me by a very knowledgable collector and he is searching his files for others, which if I get, I will post here.
