This slabbing thing has gone way too far. I have remained silent on this issue until now…. I personally do not believe in slabbing ANYTHING, so you may ask, why I am not on “The List”. I would like a new poll to be taken…….How many on “The List” are union activists and/or registered Democrats? How many on “The List” have too much time on their hands? This obsession of a group of some members of the CC>CC is causing more damage than slabbing could ever do. This is MY hobby, I should be able to think for my self and collect whatever I wish. I would certainly not tell any one else what to include/exclude in their hobby.

The name calling, bitterness, and insensitivity expressed on this board concerning this subject has been unsettling, at best. When I have e-mailed some to point out this poor behavior, I have been told “ skip over what you don’t like”. Why should I have to skip anything ? I may click on a post to see if there is anything meaningful there, which may increase the hit #, but that does not mean that I have done so because I enjoy the controversy.

THE FINAL STRAW….that prompted me to chime in, is the recent post that the AC Chapter is donating to the antislabbing cause. I am a member of this chapter and resent this action of the board of directors without first consulting the members. This is not an emergent situation, which requires board action ONLY.
