At least for a little while. (We'll see how long I can stay away. Maybe a day. Maybe a week. Maybe a month.)
This forum's gotten way too nasty.
Think I'll go back to my Darkside roots for a while (even if it means boring them with talk about US coins). At least it's more civil there.
When y'all make special threads to flame each other and some even use their sig lines to throw a barb or two at other members, it's sunk far too low for me. I personally haven't been the target of any flames that I know of (though now maybe I can be called a snob for leaving), but watching the childish bickering has gone from boring to annoying to intolerable for me. At least for a while. We'll see how long I have the willpower to stay away.
C ya.

Laters,

required, though. Where things are going is anyone's guess, but I do have a "take" on your decision.
Hey, look, I went though about as many ups and downs as anyone. Adrian and I "made up," and life goes on. I think you have to take a lot of what is said here with a grain of salt. As the saying goes, "take what you need and leave the rest." Despite the inherent problems with this forum, this IS a VERY valuable tool for collectors, and you get to hob-nob with the poor and rich at the same time. Yes,
you get to mingle with us crazies (sorry, don't mean to offend my fellow members with "issues"), but just don't take it too personally.
Here, like life, things can get a little hot. But at least its an OPEN forum. Even heated disagreements can be worked out and you can learn about many things -coins and otherwise-here.
Maybe you should get away from the heat for awhile. But those of us who come and go will be here when you decide to come back.
Good luck with whatever you decide,
Barney
Just keep saying to yourselfs`Theres no place like US Coins forum``Theres no place like US Coins forum`.............

I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.

You could always PM those you love the most. Who do you think will suffer the most?
A community PM forum is what we need. A few are invited, some are blocked out.
Or maybe this forum would allow a census block out system. By this, if a member feels someone has become unruly during a thread then a block out button could be clicked on that individual's post and when the number of block outs have reached, let's say 10, then that person will no longer be able to
post on any thread say.......for...........ever. LOL

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

As one of the first posters to help me with a question when I first joined this board (and I might add not be sarcastic or write what a wasteful thread or some other nasty remark), you will be depriving those that could benefit from your knowledge.
I know it's tough at times but we all have to try not to let the posting become personal. Just ignore it.
It is obvious that we have some strong personalities on this board with very different points of view. I think that is good. You can agree or disagree with what is posted, just look past the nasty (or as my grandmother would have said "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater").

What did I miss??? I hate it when I miss something!
I think you should hang around LM - I like your style .... just my 3 cents worth

I have thought this also. What a waste of space. An ongoing declaration of contempt for another person.

After all, these boards are like the metal detecting you love. If all of the treasure was obvious there would be no thrill of discovery. Keep scanning the threads for there is still much gold to be found.

What would your slabbed coins be worth if the grading services went out of business? What would your coins be worth if the Internet was taken offline for good?
Do you ever read the threads in real time? Or is there a one day delay in getting them wherever you are? I say this to you in all good humor, I just never see you post to a thread if it's not at least a day (or more) old.
Cheers!

That's over there somewhere near Gabon and The Gambia, isn't it ???
I always liked Chad too...but I guess they changed their name to the United African Republic or something...
But I digress...
Don't just stomp outta the room every time there's a family feud! Things'll settle down. They always do.
If it isn't that way over on the Darkside, that's because those guys are a bunch of tight-butt stiff collar wierdos who spend all day looking at two-toned aluminum tiddly-winks and slugs with furrin squiggles all over them, from places like Ouagadougou.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
But actually thats what I thought Clanks Schoolroom Tales
was supposed to accomplish. A good Forum is when the good people stick it thru
to keep things stable and set the example for civilized conduct and behavior.
