Barefoot wha?
Can someone please tell me how all of this Barefoot nonsense got started. I
don't normally ever post on here, but I have been reading these rants for the last month. I was just curious what the big deal is about this guy, and why does everyone feel the need to keep instigating these arguments on a message thread about autographs?

Simply, said arguements are at the core of it about autographs...thus they
are posted on a newsgroup that covers such topics What? How in the world are arguments at the core of autograph collecting, and why are you trying to start one with me? -- Aaron T.

Barefoot wha?
I just came back today!
I quit this newsgroup over a year ago because I was tired of the bickering. Post after post, both sides giving their point of view, over and over and over and over again! Nobody ever wins these debates and after a time they run their course, both sides agreeing to disagree. Check the archives. You are all really nice folks who are earnest in their love of autograph collecting. I just don't have the time, nor the emotional stamina, to wade through all the posts looking for encouraging, up beat, and positive posts. If anybody knows of a fun collecting site, feel free to email me directly. LJinFLA -- Life is sometimes like popping corn with the lid off. "Uncle Bill" wrote in message ...

Ah, sorry I misunderstood. Now, if only a few other people on here would
have the balls to just apologize for misunderstandings then maybe people wouldn't have to wade through all these posts that just go on and on about who is right and who is wrong. Who cares? Just get on with the successes, failures, and stories on collecting. -- Aaron T. Frye Co-Host and Co-Founder Deadpit Radio www.deadpit.com "Mr Black" wrote in message u...

Barefoot wha?
Bill, you make and have a very good point. My whole intention of my website
and my posts is to help educate new collectors and help out with seasoned ones. I can honestly say that I have nothing to apologize about. The majority of my posts have been polite and related to the hobby at hand... Some of the arguments, while they began to get off track to a degree, are autograph related. Autograph messages that just consist of "I got so and so today" tend to get stale. To me, an autograph message group is for discussion of any and all elements that relate to the hobby. That could include what the best sleeves to use for protection, who's the best/worst signer, who's an ass in person, upcoming signing events and, yes, how certain elements can be detrimental to the hobby. Arguments/debates are going to happen whether you're chatting on an autograph group or a "how to raise your kid" group. If everyone agreed all the time and there were no alternate ideas, then this group would get very boring very quickly. As it's been revealed, there are people on here with over 100 years of combined experience. Everyone is going to have different ways of approaching the hobby. Some will be similar, some will be off the wall. What we, as a group, have to do is to learn to hear/read each others ideas and take them as they are meant: to be helpful. When certain aspects begins to state opinions as cemented facts, then there will be debates. It's inevitable, especially when the same information is being repeated. What the people on this group are capable of doing, and it's been proven elsewhere, is that we can have very logical and mature conversations. As I stated before, it's irresponsible for people that don't post regularly to always expect the regulars to instigate conversations. The only reason the debates have continued as long as they have is that it's the only game in town in regards to an active topic. Again, everyone is capable and free to join in and/or start their own conversations on the hobby. Be proactive instead of reactive. :-) -- Mike Gummby3 ~~ Star Collector ~~ www.star-collector.net Celebrity addresses the way they should be - free. "Uncle Bill" wrote in message ...

These are not debates- as you call them- that I see going on here. What is
going on is just a bunch of low brow bashing, and then mindless regurgitation of the same topic. In the midst of all this, you have people who just love to agree with someone or hear themselves type as well. I don't care one way or another about whether Barefoot sells frauds, if he does- he is a douchebag, and he knows that. Anyone with any sense knows that you shouldn't buy autographs from dealers of any kind in the first place- unless you are looking to get ripped off. Once again, it seems that it is impossible for anyone on here to just admit they are wrong and get on with the regular posts. I didn't post on here to help start another "debate" or inane conversation, nor will I be coaxed into one. This is my last post on anything not directly related to autographs collecting - successes, failures, stories, etc. You kids can bicker among yourselves, pat yourselves on the back for your witty banter, and just generally be pretentious all you want. In the end, no one comes on this newsgroup to listen to arguments, judgments, rhetoric, or bandwagon attacks. The only reason to come on here is to see who got what back from who, when they got it, and how. You people need to stop deluding yourselves into thinking otherwise ... And that's as proactive as I get about this nonsense. ATF "Mr Black" wrote in message u... Be proactive instead of reactive. :-) thats a great statement. MrB |
