It is sad that you question my support simply because I am asking you tough questions. I hope to be a member of the slab free chapter in the next few days, not thatI know that you can join the chapter and not sign the pledge. I don't agree with the pledge. However, that does not mean that I want to grade chips for slabbing companies, or buy / sell slabbed chips. It means that one day it I find a screaming deal on a rare chip that has been slabbed, I will buy it. I will then remove it from the slab. This would be a violation of the pledge. Honesty and integrity are important to me, and I would not want to knowingly commit to something that I would violate. I hope that this makes it clear where I stand on the issue, and you questions should be answered.

As to removing people from the banned list, I think that it is a reasonable request. One that I will likely make to the board of directors, in writing, when I am accepted as a member. I assume that you are supportive of me joining the slab free chapter?

Thanks,

John
