Not sure what this means (sounds like a threat?).

I edited my original post (memorialized and quoted above) bc it’s politics talk and I should not talk politics on a baseball card site.

The threat was your post advocating lynching people you don’t like. Can’t make this shit up lol

[Rhotchkiss]

Wasn’t talking to you. And BTW the constitution (not me) declares treason a crime and federal law states that death is a proper punishment for treason

I get your opinion of me. Its mutual. Move on

Yeah I’m the bad guy, because you’re pro-lynching. It’s a good sign I don’t have your approval. Make crazy violent posts, you will get replies. Duh.

I didn’t say you were the bad guy. I just don’t like you. You don’t like me. Agreed. Move on

I don’t know you whatsoever and had no opinion until you explicitly advocated lynching people for political purposes. You’re going to get a little heat for that one. Nutball murder posts usually get a little heat before the move on part.

I have held off this one for awhile, thought I'd weigh in:

1) There are players whose cards I don't want in my collection.

2) There are also people I wouldn't buy from/trade with, even if to my
advantage, because I don't care for them.

Speaking of which, be careful RHotchkiss. The first (and only) rule of
G1911 Fightclub, is that he is ALWAYS right. He just loves to play this
game of one-upmanship, while blissfully unaware he's the only one in
the contest. Enjoy your wonderful collection and forget about him, you'll
live longer

Lol. I’m wrong for my *anti-lynching* stance. The problem here is that I think my opinion of being *against lynching* is correct. This is a GREAT topic for you to hijack to your personal obsession. Excellent choice.

I would guess more that Bruce passed away shortly afterwards.

Not a threat at all. Just trying to be funny, but maybe you were not around when Bruce was on the forum? Bruce actually did say he wished to read my obituary. that even made it into a story in the New York Daily News which I'm sure could not have made Bruce happy considering his standing in the business world in NYC. He had threatened to contact a Net54 member's employer over something they had said to him on the forum. I stated my objection to that and then he wished to see me dead.

Did he ever sue Archive? There’s been some interesting folks here.

I appreciate the explanation, thank you!! Well, if karma gets me then that’s a trend and the rest of you will know not to use the “o” word on net54. And I have no issue with the world (beyond net54) knowing my disdain (hatred) for that person.

Anyway, sorry to get political. I will not be collecting Trump stuff bc of morals. I should have left it at that

Thanks for note Trent, much appreciated (sincerely)

G1911- I'm not "obsessed" with you by any definition of the term. You're the
type who needs to be backed down whenever you display internet muscles
and, frankly, it amuses me to think of you furiously typing while adjusting your
pocket protector and smelling your favorite sabermetrics book. Now then, I've
got a life, so you go ahead and fire away, sunshine

........ My "internet muscles" that need to be "backed down" are, let me check my notes here, being against lynching people. Yes. Excellent choice to hijack this topic of all topics to continue your crusade and try to attack with. Keep digging.

off-center? couldn't agree more, that word should be banned.

[bigfanNY]

I have a couple John Whettland Items I do not display anymore. Both are 1996 Yankee items.

[perezfan]

For me it's just OJ.

I still cringe whenever I see one of his cards or collectibles.

[JimmyC]

Agree on OJ also…..tough dilemma as I only own one OJ card and it’s part of a set - 1970 Kellogg’s Football - just love the set - I am a set guy and have a bunch of non regular issue sets that I really love….this ‘70 set along with ‘70 Kellogg’s baseball set are two of my favorites from that era….I just make believe the card is not part of the set….

Bruce had quite a collection, but was a pretty abrasive guy at least on the interwebs.

He did make for one of the best posts ever when he threatened to sue someone over an archived post ....and that someone was him.

There are a lot of players I have no interest in collecting. I thought the whole point of collecting was to buy things you like. Why would I want to buy cards of players I dislike? Cap Anson, Ty Cobb, Curt Schilling, Ben Chapman, Draymond Green, John Rocker, the list goes on.

I do find it odd though that several people here have mentioned that they don't collect LeBron James for "moral reasons"? Really? LeBron James? I'd be curious about which character qualities it is you despise about him. Is it that he's never been caught in a cheating scandal and has been faithful to his high school sweetheart for decades? Is it because he's a wonderful loving father who is heavily engaged in their daily lives? Perhaps it's his humility and unselfishness on the court that gets under your skin? Perhaps it's the schools he built for helping underprivileged youth to get caught up in academics? Perhaps it's the level of commitment to his craft that boils your blood? After all, longevity and endurance sure is a turnoff. I mean, who wants to see a 50-year-old leading the league in scoring despite having a pass-first mentality on the court? Or maybe it's the fact that he conducts himself with honor and integrity? Perhaps you dislike well-rounded players?

That about sums up my list for why King James is intolerable.

Well said, snowman… completely agree.
