They seem to be getting even more testy and running in packs; makes this site hard to take at times.
I know, I should just ignore this stuff but it is difficult and probably just not in my nature- I apologize to the genuine Members here working to make this an educational and relevant numismatic page but it just isn't for me.
Best, Jack.

No matter where you go, there will always be that 10%. At least we don't have to put up with 90% of the members being that way.

Don't feed them. They'll get hungry for the attention they crave and go somewhere else eventually.
Post something positive or insightful you know about, and maybe some of us will learn or appreciate something new

You’re doing the real collectors an outstanding service and those that matter recognise that. Don’t sweat the others.

I appreciate the feedback but the responses that would make a difference would be from the hosts on the best way to handle this than just ignore it. I consider this a professional forum...
and this is uncommon how? you will find people like that in the real world also, personally for me it's just a opinion from a screen name i have never met so it's not going to make any issue to me
Put up or shut up i care little
The person you placed on ignore shows up as a shadowy name and makes it easy to monitor them.
There’s a member here who I appreciate their input but can’t handle the gazillion posts on the humor thread.
Others have mentioned it directly with no luck. Therefore, I lose because I miss out on the good stuff. 😉🙀🦫

I just ignore the trolls.... Unless they get nasty. Then I flag/report. Does not happen often, most are just an irritation. Cheers, RickO
The problem is one of moderation coverage. If CU had some members they trusted with moderation powers who would be here over nights/weekends a lot of the nonsense would be blunted before it gets ridiculous.

Take every irritating thing with a grain of salt and you'll be fine

To OP, seems if you have a beef with these posts you should talk the the hosts via the 'Flag' button than calling them out here - it kinda makes you the same as the ones you want to call out..............
Unfortunately the 'ignore' doesn't shade out initial posts, only replies. I also think an extended 'ignore' list would be a time saving feature.
I have- thanks...
And I have no problem calling myself out.
They want attention. Good or bad doesn't matter to them. My goal is to pay them none of mine; I'm not always successful.
I'm thinking the majority of these are coming from one or maybe two troll people. One gets whacked, the two more pop up. The patterns are so similar.

FYI I'm not a troll. I was adding to the sarcasm. But I don't know if I should be honored or offended 😅

That's right. There's a good read book out there about don't sweat the small stuff. Regard ad hominem attacks on anyone, not just oneself, as coming from small stuff. Resorting to ad hominem says more about the person delivering the ad hominem than it does about the one on the receiving end of the ad hominem.

OK, I have now read my yearly quota of the term "ad hominem".
Is it possible that the ad hominem use of the term "ad hominem" can become an issue?
The "whispering" troll has spoken.
I chimed in when anyone get very nasty and rude with no reason ….. otherwise …………… 😕
Ignore the trolls. If I open a thread from a new member and it’s a bunch of garbage I stop reading it. I’ve wasted a few minutes, I move on, and it’s not the end of the world
However keep in mind that everyone on this forum had to have a first post so it’s a bad idea to label every new poster as a troll.
I have that little book somewhere and used to flip a few pages 😬 but it’s all in my head N heart now ☺️
No matter where you go go, feel, see and hear; there always be silliness we don’t agree on. It’s a fact of life 🤗

I’m a troll?> @burfle23 said:
Since when?
This thread is nothing but trouble and isn't coin related in my opinion 😂🤣
Since you started tossing out insults. This isn't that kind of forum.

@burfle23 So you can call me a troll but didn’t have a problem giving me 2 LOL for comments made prior to this thread. You insult me, laugh at my comments and then decide to start a thread and further insult me.

Oh, I see. But calling me a troll isn’t an insult? Seems like there’s a double standard here. What a joke you are. I’ve seen much worse from other members.
I'm thinking your name calling in your posts could probably not be repeated to get off some posters 'troll list'. Just food for thought here.
@burfle23 Please tell me how you can laugh at a couple “insults” I made and then refer to me as a troll? And then start a thread on it.

It's so easy to ban a troll, why not just ignore the post that bothers you. Trust this, if they rile no one up, then they will move on to aggravate someone else's forum. I mean 0 replies. JMO

LOL is often a term of derision rather than humor. Idk how they intended it.
Additionally, trolls aren’t necessarily immune from being funny. I don’t know how the LOL’s were intended, either.

I'm curious,
Is hominy related to ad hominem?
@burfle23 This LOL is from you. And then you start with how it’s not your nature and other b.s.
Coming from a stuffed shirt who’s full of himself, I’ll take that with a grain of salt.
Yeah, that’s why there’s a smiley face beside it. You guys have an out for everything.
I'm not trying to wheedle out of anything. I'm just stating a fact. There's a forum member who dislikes me and, for a while, he was putting an LOL on every post I made. There used to be a disagree button. When that went away, LOL became the replacement.
But, as I said in my prior post, I can't know the intent of the LOL. I also don't know that it matters.
I'm really not sure why you are lashing out at everyone. I am NOT a fan of this particular thread. I also personally wouldn't have labeled you a troll. But I find myself liking you less after your responses on this thread.
Well, I was reported for “insulting” a troll, a troll that was attacking other members. Then I was insulted by a member who then called me a troll. And then that member took it a step further and started a thread which pointed me out to be a troll. You don’t think that would cause some hard feelings? Like me or not, I will defend myself. My intentions were good.
I don't blame you for being mad at the OP. As I said, I do not like or approve of this thread. However you're lashing out at everyone. I know it's hard to ignore some of these curmudgeons. However, I'm quite certain that you can't refute a post about your insults by hurling more insults.
@jmlanzaf Mark, for example, made no comment other than the LOL didn't mean anything. That didn't really deserve the response it got.
You left this out…MFeld says…. “Additionally, trolls aren’t necessarily immune from being funny”.

I was directly being referred to as a troll. How else should I have taken that?
JMN,
You might have too thin a skin.
You were attacking people from the get go.
@justmenutty72 Just let it go, no need to respond further.
I like your new avatar.
this is getting weird
That comment of mine wasn’t referring to you - I didn’t see anything humorous in what you were posting. And no, that was not an insult.

I read Mark's comment as being general, not as directed at anyone specific. But, you (JMN) are obviously hypersensitive to the criticism.
@ifthevamzarockin Yeah, I see what the lad’s trying to do. 🤣😂
My apologies.
Look how @spyglassdesign replied, this is all that was necessary.
Don't put a target on your back and run out on the firing range.
Thank you.

I think if you take tomatillos, pork, and add hominem you get posole.
I want my 3 minutes back.
I knew it would happen.
