COULD EVERYONE PLEASE STOP. JUST STOP. PLEASE STOP NOW. YOU'RE RUNING MY THREAD, WHICH WAS MEANT HIGHLIGHT WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE FOLKS HERE AS A COUNTERPOINT TO THE CONSTANT MY-WANKER-IS-BIGGER-THAN-YOURS BICKERING. WHO CARES ANYMORE WHO'S RIGHT OR WRONG? LET'S QUIT BELABORING ALL THIS PLEASE. IT'S ALMOST THE HOLIDAYS. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? OR, IF YOU'RE SO FULL OF ANGER, THEN GO FIGHT AL QAEDA.
Your protestations to the contrary, you knew precisely how this thread would turn out when you posted it. Otherwise you would not have opened by referencing a thread originated by the number one troll at this forum.
Russ - with all due respect, you seriously need to chill out. You are flying all over the place about this and it's reflecting poorly upon you. Does it really matter that you "expose" what you perceive to be a troll's actions if you destroy your own reputation in the process? You chasing him around (and him you) every thread inciting each other on is getting just as old as AgentJim007 and Anaconda's tete a te!
I know that I have really cut down on posting pics of cool coins (mine or otherwise) and trying to start informative threads about coins in general for the reasons that EVP mentioned.
Unless the guy is EVIL incarnate - who cares? Not me....HEY DCAMFRANKLIN!!! I am gonna charge re-stocking fees till hell freezes over and if you don't like it - then don't bid - okay? Okay Russ? Point?
My brother sent me this last week - couldn't help but post it...thanks for the opportunity.

(Baccaruda, 12/03).I find it hard to believe that he (Trump) rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world. (Putin 1/17) Gone but not forgotten. IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko, Big Moose.
I ignored DCAMTroll's comments for weeks, never responding to any of his thinly veiled attacks on me. Despite that, he kept at it. READ his threads before you defend him. I'm fed up with the troll, and I'm simply not going to take the coward's lip any more.
EDIT: I'll tell you what, though. In deference to you and the other good contributing members, I'll begin ignoring him again. I figure sooner or later, CU will step in take care of the problem anyway.
I give you the same advice I gave EVP when he was in a posting war against Stuart Blay and against David Hall - at some point your message is lost in the way you are saying it. If you feel you are being trolled, an email to Carol, BJ and the rest is warranted. But when YOU start chasing HIM around and doing the same stuff that you are saying he is doing, even if you are in the right, you have lost.
The following comment is for all to see. This forum is beginning to deteriorate too much and it's the result of posters stalking other posters and pushing their buttons. There's nothing wrong with a good debate about any subject, but when it overflows to every thread it's the worst kind of trolling. From here on out, I won't hesitate to email Carol & BJ regarding this type of behavior. Debate all you want, but if you follow someone around to the detriment of the forum, you won't be here long.
Edited to add: Why, yes, I was elected forum king - did you miss that?
Thank you Tradedollarnut. That last comment has been needed for quite awhile now. Hopefully, the personal attacks, name calling and immature behavior will come to an immediate, abrupt end.
I used to take flames way too seriously. It seems quite a number of others still do.
Now, I like it when someone flames me. It's an oportunity to have some fun and have my opinions challenged. Who knows, maybe I deserve it........nah......
Now, when I get flamed, I flame back. Come to think about it, I guess that's always been the case. I like to fight. But you know what? It only really means I value your opinion. I don't fight, generally, if you're not worthy in my eyes.
I tell you what gets MY blood boiling.....someone who can dish it out but wants to hug their Mommies apron when someone gets low and shoots for the knees. Let me say that again - guys who flame and run.......they are the worst. Chickens, pansies, wooses, girls, camel toe boys. I think that covers it. We're talkin' coins here and if you say something strong....., you had better back it up!
Really, though, we're all just responding to simple ideas which don't give but a strobed sight of who we are - we don't really know each other although we think we do. Like Jim. Just because he has Jason for a moniker and 3 felony convictions for violent crimes doesn't mean he isn't a puffball behind that mask.
So why take it all so seriously?
"Hate?" I think not. It's really a kind of love! Just my opinion.
Besides, "it's a free country" -- which was what some intellect resting poster said to me in the "currency question" thread to defend libelous words. Freedom is a two way street. If you can't take it, don't dish it out. Pansies belong out in the yard, not behind a computer. Isn't there a forum for quilters?
The roughing out of ideas is sometimes a messy afair. A little angst mixed in toughens your skin and tests your ideas. When we're trying to figure out something important like which coin is the most desirable, we don't want to hear "Oh, yes, Franklin did have a beautiful bald head, didn't he? But you know, I don't want to hurt your feelings but I prefer the glorious locks of our friend Jack, even if he did cast a glance at a woman not his wife" B-O-R-I-N-G!
"Why can't we all just get along?......" Y ou know who coined that phrase .......a crack addicted loser.
We get along just fine. We're humans and humans love to fight.
Finally, you have to know where to end. Or at least where you should have ended. Some fights are a draw and over before the 12 post.
Even I get tired of beating a dead horse........good night.
On page 3 of this thread this was said by EP: MY-WANKER-IS-BIGGER-THAN-YOURS, then my3cents put in his 3 cents and said: MY WANKER IS 3 TIMES BIGGER! Well fellas you both have Lucy beat!

This is a group therapy session without the fees..
A group of people from different backgrounds in a circle. The therapist starts with a topic and the discusion begins on a reasonable note. Soon Mr X raises a point that is pent up inside him; Ms Y has another issue off the point from X; Several chime in with criticisms of one of the prior speakers; someone supports a member of the circle that has been mute; another member confesses to disliking someone; the therapist urges focus on the topic; several criticize the the therapist; the therapist looks at her watch and with some relief notes that time is up. Everyone leaves. "Great session"; "Wait until next time I will get a chance to tell it how it is"; "Hate those guys, I will come next time and tell them that I am going to quit coming the time after"; "Wow there are really some crazy people in this group".
Next week the session begins again. The therapist asks what was learned from the prior session. Someone raised their hand and the process begins again.
This goes on week after week. Strangely, people keep showing up; nothing is resolved. The therapist gets an idea. Why not do this on the internet. The group will be larger; I can pretend to be interested; the group members will be less inhibited; it is mass therapy but what shall I call it? He asks for suggestions from the group and gets different names from each member. He selects a name from a particularly angry member of the group that claims experience with internet chat rooms and has been grading members of the group on a scale of 70. It is decided!

all of the Forum arguments and discords truly pale into insignificance. As long as we are able to understand
and respect who and what we are as a person, the actions of another ,should have little meaning in the
scheme of things. I have been guilty of not adhering to my own words a few times, but I have learned
to be more accepting of both my own and others imperfections. Be kind to one another, this is the only world
we have to live on. Bear
