Rene; I have ordered a couple of the anti-slab tee shirts from Ralph and had planned to wear it at the Palace Station show. But in defference to your well-thought out objections, and even though this is a free speech issue, I will personally resist the temptation to wear the objectionable shirt while at your show I've already pre-purchased and will respect your wishes as the show promoter. Your points are very valid and well stated.
Having said that, I will not be quiet about ICG's unwelcome intrusion into our hobby. They need us... we don't need them. I also hope that many chippers will stop by the anti-slabing table at your show and sign "The List". I also hope that many table holders at Palace Station will display the anit-slabbing logo tent signs that will be available for the asking. The message must be gotten to ICG clearly and unambiguously that they are not wanted or welcome in our hobby.
Hoping that your show is a very successful one.... putting the anti-slab efforts aside. Looking forward to being there.
