I have noticed dredguy has been putting the statement below on all his posts. I think this is gonna cause some problems amongst the members.
What do you guys think should be done?

This goes out to some users of this website that everyday use their time to bash other user’s successes with TTM autographs (You know who you are!).
I do not care if these TTM successes are secretarial/PP/whatsoever. You know why? Because the only real autograph is the one you get IN PERSON!!! Who, in their perfect mind, would think that all the world celebrities as actors or musicians have time to sign hundreds, thousands of requests per day?
The interest of this hobby is to find what autographs are probably real and others which are definitely not. So, how can one state that, as I have been reading here that “It is definitively secretarial†or “Some studies have been made on Mr.XX Sig…â€Â….Cut the C**P!!!
Even those who entitle themselves as “autograph experts†or “autograph dealers†cannot prove any autograph authenticity.
This is a hobby, man! Not a competition!

I didn't mention it when I acknowledged his successes, because I thought it would just draw attention to it 
. I noticed the same thing as you...and I'm surprised that it hasn't gotten any comments as of yet and hopefully it continues that way. Because of the harshness of the certain members who are very rude and blatant about the authenticity of certain autographs, the lines have unfortunately been draw between particular members. It's very sad and I wish it could have been stopped before it started. My only hope is that the rude and childish behavior of the offending members will stop. The only other conclusion I can think of is these members being banned eventually for their behavior. I hope it doesn't come to that though and I wish "we could all just get along"
