So, Stu, voices his opinion that does not meet your approval and you determine his attitude is bad so you "boot" him.

His statement, "If someone is "duped" into paying $100 for a fake or fantansay chip on ebay, I don't really care. They just learned something and probably won't do it again . " Well, that's just cavaet emptor...We learn by our mistakes...Well, most do...

That's bad attitude? That is just his view point which he is entitled to.

There may be more to this that I don't know about and if that is the case, I apologize.

I am new to chip collecting and haven't a damn clue as to what I am doing, but I am having fun. I am probably getting taken advantage of seven ways from Sunday but I get what I deserve. My mentor, James Campiglia, is on vacation and I will probably get a chewing out for the stuff I have bought without his counsel. Well, so be it, I will learn and I will learn well by having him as a good friend and a mentor.

Point being, Stu probably doesn't care about that either...so that makes him a bad person??

Have a Great and Prosperous New Year...

Mark
