@ markbigears.

They are having a go at me, because I challenged the authenticity of a fake, repro, fantasy sign (Rizla). Which Hinks "the expert" was spouting nonsense that its a real enamel sign. If you read the actual post you will see that the owner of the Oldstuff site (Al) actually said pretty much the same thing, although a bit briefer "it's crud"

Sometimes it can be a bit of a bullyboy forum, with one member suggesting I was in an asylum ( like that's a bad thing if someone is?)
& others trying to goad & prod me to react, like the good old playground days. Why else would yawnboy chris start a vote to find out who disliked me.

All I can say to mick & banjo is, I witnessed the racist rants you both made a few months back, (which were deleted correctly by the admin) You two should be ashamed. However they continue to chuck stones in their glass houses & denigrate anyone who disagrees with them

Hinks, sorry if my post roped you into this, this wasn't my intention. You did not slag me off or prod & poke me. You & I agreed to disagree. Which is the beauty of debate.
I merely suggested that saying the sign was an original may have been misinterpreted by novice collectors of genuine old signs ( which clearly happened with the ebay sign). Ebay is rife with these type of declarations.

What exposed itself on this site (again) was the bullyboy tactics of a small minority.

I was bemused by "yawnboy" suggesting I could only contribute to the forum if I had pictures of my collection to show? I checked with the owner of oldstuff & he said their were no requirements to contributing to the forum - other than a genuine identity - which mine is. So there you go
