I totally agree with Claude.
in general I ignore Rod's posts.. I know what they are.. "Mexican
garbage for sale". so it's easy to pass.
he isn't the only member whose emails I pass over in general
being a shit stain is not a cause for banishment and as Claude points
out - Scott is the final arbiter of who remains a member on his list.
What does surprise me is how much like lemmings some of these posts
make people seem.
I agree that Rod's FS posts seem crass and certainly lack any empathy
towards deceased stars, but there is no standard rule under which he
can be judged.
that said, there is no reason why individual members cannot draw a
personal judgement on his character, which ranks among the Eugene
Hughes's, Chris Cloutier's or some fellows up in Rochester. But do it
with class!. There is no need to drag yourself into the gutter to
show what a guttersnipe someone else is.
he wants to call Bruce and myself whores for starting our auctions at
99 cents.. who really cares. We all see him for what he is and for my
money, he makes a true shit stain look like a clean sheet. I stepped
in some dog shit last week.. I just wiped the bottom of my shoe
against the curb and got rid of it.. I wouldn't have been surprised
if Rod Morgan's face had smiled back at the sole of my shoe
afterward.. That's life folks.. and in this world as we know there
are what we call "all kinds". Just be happy that you aren't "his kind"

What is the big deal? If you can't stand him don't even open his emails.
I just searched ebay with the following "michael jackson"
There are slightly less than 26,000 items listed and most were
listed yesterday and today. Rod's buttons are minute compared to ebay.
I have seen this every single time a major name dies. What is the
big deal? In fact, for those who want to remember the person, it is
a great time to look as more items come out of the closet than at
any time during the year.
As for kicking him out of MOPO - That is a wrong reason. This is
not a secret society or a kangaroo court. If you don't like him, so
what. There are some I do not care for and I am certain that I
would not score 100% on a popularity contest. There are rules to be
a member and Scott will determine his status.

GUYS,
I agree with Franc 101% in his comment below. Yes Rod was
ghoulish, distasteful and almost shocking in posting such
memorabilia mere hours after Jackson dying. (Others may have felt
it was scalding black humor especially given how the Mexican
Bordertown the quality of his buttons) But banning an individual for
poor judgement and behavior only creates our own version of the OX
BOW INCIDENT. And truly how much time IS appropriate before
posting memorabilia of a dead celebrity? I presently have a couple
of rolled Farrah Fawcett posters from the 1970's that came with a
collection of 70's posters? I just got through shooting them and
then she rudely up and died. Now I ask, should I wait a day, a
week, a month? Did everyone pull listings off Ebay of their
JAWS posters when Roy Scheider died? Who here didn't snicker at a
"what wood doesn't float some 30 years ago?" Or when one found out
Ronald Reagan died who among us didn't wonder out loud "How could
you tell?"...........never mind the infamous "Teddy I think I'm
pregnant......We'll we'll cross that bridge when we get there or
finally lighting a match stick then zig-zagging in front of you
...LOOK RICHARD PRYOR ON FIRE. Hell! Mr. Pryor himself LOVED that
joke and used it to brilliant effect in his post-freebase concerts.
No, outlawing poor taste on MOPO is wrong because then only outlaws
will have poor taste or taste bad.........good grief I sound like GW43.

As for the Mexican lobby card king, I don't agree at all with what
he said. It was tacky and tasteless but I disagree even more with
those who think censorship is the way to go. We live in America, not
Iran. If you feel strongly about it, don't bother opening this guy's e-mails.
