Why not? How is it a congratulations when people receive a fake autograph? If nobody is going to stand up and tell these people that they received fake autographs, who is? This is quite funny though. Congrats on your fake autograph, you must be so happy! I mean really, this is an autograph forum, not a forum to help depressed people.

The point of my thread is to question why so many people want to express their opinion on Travolta's ttm successes. I am not interested in determing his authenticity, but I am curious as to why so many others are. The Travolta posts generate a great deal of passion on either side and that doesn't happen with other questionable successes (De Niro, Eastwood, and the rest) Why is that?

Just curious.

Many stars of his caliber have successes posted on these boards (Eastwood, De Niro, Redford, Striesand, etc...) and they may generate some debate, but it is short and civil as comapred to the Travolta posts. Does Travolta possess some star quality beyond what I can comprehend, what is it about Travolta that gets people so upset?

"john" has to get thousands of autograph requests a day. he does have a family life and a work life. hes a very busy man. when his son died "john" was still sending out autographs. When John was in Haiti. "john" was still sending out autographs. i use to believe his TTM autographs are real but when you do the math..

Why are the Eastwood's and De Niro's not as passionately debated though? Are their signing habits more universally agreed upon by the hobby so there is less debate, or is their something about Travolta (besides his rear end - that was a funny post Margot!) that inspires such a polarizing effect?.
