Yeah, I saw someone asking in another thread if you were given a “vacation”. I barely look at any WC threads any more as there’s just a negative sort of vibe running through it. I used to find all the off-topic discussion much more enjoyable, light hearted even, at times. I get the sense some members are almost baiting mods to respond to a post. To what constructive end I have no idea. I actually think there's a core group of guys that bait me to get me heated. The place has become pretty toxic, and it's related to moderation not doing their jobs properly but rather fostering that toxic environment.
I added your avatar pic from the CGC forum. It felt weird to see your forum name without it. But if you don't want it let me know and I'll remove it.

Holy spit, now there's a guy who thinks you can only submit to CGC if you use their shipping kits. I just can't take the stupidity of this generation of collectors This is one of several head scratchers that have popped up recently. Not intending to ridicule the poster as maybe he’s got an obscure book not listed in Overstreet or something, but taken on face value I don’t get it. Maybe all these deserve their own thread?

What gets me is that he has 67 posts already

I can’t imagine anyone with the sort of knowledge or insight being asked for by the op would take the time to offer it up to a random stranger on the internet. I’m actually sort of hoping the op follows up with another question.

So last week I posted 2 new music videos from System of a Down.
Kind of a big deal since people have been waiting for 15 years from new music from one of the largest new rock bands of the last 20 years.
A political discussion ensued and I got dinged for 3 weeks because of it.
This is ridiculous. If I post Neil Young's Ohio will I get a perma - ban?
I've emailed higher ups at CGC and am asking for some clarification.

So I've determined that CGC will pretty much ignore my shills unless I mention Borock's name and the crooked things he did. Just happened to Stumble Bum (could I be more obvious?) in the Ethics of Pressing thread. I'm not sure why they're so loyal to him... or do they fear it could hurt the company's reputation? Don't know but that's definitely their trigger. Don't diss The Rock!

And to make our resident Shill Hunter aware, I never make an ID to pretend I am someone else. He just embarrassed himself in the Stephanie Hans thread by suggesting I signed up her name .

You do have this weird reputation of being some chaotic disruptive poster, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. You do have a couple targets(of which I don’t understand other than it being none of my business), and a short fuse for certain collecting...uh...preferences, but I don’t otherwise understand why people get so excited to try to call you out. That JIM/Stephanie Hans thread was weird, not just because of the unusual topic or that the OP lists books on eBay to show them off, but the idea that the artist herself initially made claims the sig wasn’t hers should have drawn the eye of everyone involved in the CGC SS program. Imagine the market effect of a “witnessed” sig or sketch program where the creator then denied participation? How about those “private” signings?

Well, I finally emailed Harshen, Dena and the CEO of Collector's Society to ask for some clarification about my latest ban about 2 weeks ago.
I got a call from Harshen to discuss it. It sounded positive, he offered a suggestion and he asked me for some but it's been over a week since our conversation and I have no heard anything, been reinstated or given any feedback.
I emailed back after a week to ask if there was any progress. He said he'd look into it. No reply.
The world has changed people, and it's not for the better IMO.
