Titanic Historical Society (1963) has a Facebook group (private) 'Titanic Enthusiasts' with address https://facebook.com/groups/thsofficial
There, in Sept. 2019, "K Bill Saucier" & "Spencer Knarr" wrote about me this:
"K Bill Saucier": "As we known, that seller is a jerk."
"Spencer Knarr": "jerk is the understatement of the year."
"K Bill Saucier": "I wouldn't take a relic for free from him...really, not even for free."
"Spencer Knarr": "me either. Nor would I sell him anything - even at four times the price."
"K Bill Saucier": "Right! I already went through that with the idiot. Not at any price... ANY!"
ALL THEIR HATRED AND NEGATIVITY FOR WHAT? I DID NO HARM OR WRONG ! ZIP NADA NIENTE !
Titanic Historical Society's Facebook group 'Titanic Enthusiasts' - The Rules :
"Please be respectful even when you disagree. This is a salon, not a saloon."
"No profanity of ANY kind, sexually vulgar or harassing language. This includes abbreviations."
"When you share a photo from an external source, please give credit."
"We reserve the right to delete a member for any cause without warning for a violation of these rules or the rules of decorum."
So why is THS having these strict 'Rules' while not maintaining them?!
(Also see article link at bottom of page for more harassing by "Kevin Saucier" & "Spencer Knarr":
"You are garbage and your whole collection is garbage!"; also, apart from being a "jerk" and an "idiot", I am only "poor", "stupid", "garbage", a "poo face", make "rubbish designs on bus chair", and am not "very successful and rich" like "Kevin Saucier" who "owns titanic" and "is a God in this community" and "[has] pieces in museum exhibitions ect".)

Aldridge & Son to Irish Mirror, 17 Oct 2018 :
"[...] only a handful of these posters exist. You can count them on one hand."
(A professional auctioneer would never declare "only a handful exist" but "only a handful are known to exist"!)
"The Victoria & Albert Museum have one for its Speed & Style exhibition but this one is in better condition."
Aldridge & Son at live auction, 20 Oct 2018 : "There is 4 of these known to exist."
