When I made my post alerting collectors to a store selling phony chips, I did not anticipate that I would be dragging the ChipBoard through the ugliness that followed. For that I apologize. I did not think that it is fair to collectors and the hobby to have someone giving us a black eye because of their unscrupulous activities and I wanted to do something about it. My hope was that the bad behavior would go away. Instead, a decision was made to give up the Club and rather than give up the unscrupulous activity. Again, sorry for the ugliness, but I hope the you now understand the character of the individual that we are dealing with.
