Donut pointed me to his new signature, so I hunted down the whole post:
"This whole thing is just ridiculous!
"There are sooooo many positive things that Arnold brings to these boards and many more things that he brings to help our hobby stay fun as well as move into a better future.
"HE DOES NOT DESERVE ANY KIND OF ABUSE FROM ANYONE HERE.
"I can't, for the life of me, figure this community out.This is why many people with in-depth knowledge stay away from these boards or leave. I have many friends who know more about comics, grading, history, buying, selling, restoration, artists, and writers, among other things, than most people on the boards combined. These people won't even come near here because of this kind of childish and useless behavior.
"Do you want a board where all can come? Do you want it to stay a betterment for the hobby as a whole? Or, maybe, some just want to have their little sandbox,that, like a child who gets upset about nothing or nothing serious, throws sand at another playing in the same box.
"This is a sad thread"
