Let's see: What have we learned today?

For starters: I learned that Greg believes that anyone who post under more than ONE identity should be banned by Coin Universe. Of course, this is coming from someone who admitted to me, in person, at the last Long Beach show he has done so- and with more than just two.
Also: Dog97, the one who caused hate and discontent for TBT when he first arrived, accusing him of selling mostly AT junk (when, it was later learned he DIDN'T) but never so much as apologized. Just a casual "whoops-a-daisy" and quickly moved on. (The same individual who makes a sport of finding eBay coin "frauds" yet wrote a PM to me once when I caught my first one, stating there were already too many guys into looking for these fraudulent sellers and to back off. READ: Don't take the wind out of my sails with your own little mini-investigations)
Also: jmwarren- who is so upset (he'll probably never buy another toned coin again! uses foul language to mock anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with him- in other words, behavior he is on a rampage over, he commits.
Believe it or not, CoinDr really is who he is. I could lay it out further with proof (and better proof than the coins offered on eBay were his handywork, now shown to be a false accusation! But, where's the "I was wrong" on that one?!) that we are two people, but who cares? What does he really have to apologize for and to who? You?
So, this is what we learned: sideshows and personalities and anything and EVERYTHING other than coins is what brings the applause! Good for us. Try doing that talking about the merits of your VF20 Seated dollar.

Little Wicher... nothing wrong with him... or Braddick... or Dog... or anyone else, for that matter
I say we should all just be friends... my first and only post in this or any similar thread... gotta study.
Oh, I did learn another good thing today. I saw a YN go bonkers, think about it, then return as a gentleman, and apologized. Good job KKid.
I guess I learned a lot today.
baggage we carry thru life with us. But on this Forum, for the most part,
we are trying to be better then we are. Lets never stop trying, because these
Forums are important to a lot of very nice people. In addition to coin information
we give solice, help, kindness and a little caring , in a world that can be cold and hard. Bear

doh
I learned nothing here that I didn't already know.
This place is filled with posters with multiple identities. You are one of them.
You are a manipulator with a desire to control everything - but I already knew this about you along time ago.
Cheers,

I challenge you to pull up a thread to that effect or admit you are a liar!
Why drag TBT into your mess you've created? TBT and I are cool with each other. TBT and myself had a problem one time because somebody in their firm accidently put me on their blocked bidder list. Somebody else posted his blowtorch beauties in ACG slabs and I just commented on them before TBT was even a member here. If I remember correctly that is what made him join the forum.
Thanks.
I also reaffirmed my belief that there are an aweful lot of people in the world who are not very tolerant of others. (sigh)

Man, I just HAD to quote and bookmark this one! I'll find that thread, dog97 and expose you for the fraud you are! Do you promise, on your word, that when it is located and posted, right here, that'll you not come back with some lame, "oh, I must have forgot I had written that". excuse?!

Dig a little deeper and farther back now Braddick. Use that SEARCH button! SEARCH those archives!!
edited to add "I promise." Cross my heart & hope to die stick a needle in my eye.
Given the opportunity to reflect upon your statements made in the recent past, you have now said you feel you over-reacted. I commend you for choosing to admit such here. Personally, I hope you and a good number of other Members will remember the Braddick/CoinDr incident the next time you are contemplating an overreaction to someone choosing to disagree with you.
In God We Trust.... all others pay in Gold and Silver!
NOW, I CHALLENGE ANYONE ON THIS THREAD TO SPEND AN AFTERNOON WITH BRADDICK AND THEREAFTER WRITE AN UNKIND THREAD ABOUT HIM. COME ON - WHO ACCEPTS THE CHALLENGE? I'LL SUPPLY THE DIP AND CHIPS
I am glad this is ended and we can look foward to many informative
and interesting threads from both of these good people. Bear

Unfortunately, I've seen some of the brilliant minds withdraw and no longer participate in the forum because of the back and forth nonsensical bantering, predominantly by 2nd or otherwise disguised identities. Yes, I know there are several of you who could care less about who is no longer active, but, it not only is your own loss, but mine too. It's disappointing to find that it is, in part, the result of some whom have been held in high esteem. Yes, there have been legitmate trolls, but, the legitimate trolls haven't been successful in dividing and dissuading the personalities I am referring to.
Yes, I will admit I may have been naive to accept the forum communications as true measures of one's personalities, and yes, I admit I've long ago noted the "turn" of the forum from an "ad hoc" convention of dedicated numismatists into a place where some have chosen to vent their hostilities anonymously, but, I have tried to perservere, and will most likely continue trying.
I only interject these few observations for the benefit of those who may be equally taken aback, or still drop in from time to time, and for those who seem to think that since this is simply an electronic forum, there is no need for decorum. (No, that wasn't an intentional rhyme). Most of us courted an were granted a certain amount of respect when we established our presence in the forum; some of those relationships are predominantly maintained via our presence in this forum, and other electronic forums. We should be mindful that even though we have the ability to be somewhat anonymous, our actions are still attributable to us, even if only to ourselves.
But of course, that all borders on being decent, in the first place.
My comment(s) are directed a no one, in particular, yet everyone.
1) A male chatter who was there more than I was accused of impersonating a female user name. This chatter vehemently denied using an alias handle, just many things observed with the female chat handle indicated a very close similarity.
2) A large influx of very young (teen) chatters. Many of these newbies had the manners of a mosquito. Many came in just to be rude.
3) People started to talk about others and accuse others of things real and imagined. I think it was so odd that I virtually spoke to one person in that room on a regular basis, yet was supposed to have spoken to many other people according to others.
4) The chatters started to take sides on a particular argument or event. Unique personalities of each person started to become more clear and in many cases, what you actually found out about a person, turned out to be not as cordial or as nice as you thought.
The Internet provides a cover of anonymity that one can use to protect as well as manipulate. It is something that can be used for good will as well as bad. Having seen a diverse set of personalities in that one chat room, I know that 100% conformity is a ludicrous vision. So to each his own as I observe the din generated by the third planet around the sun.
