Is DorkKarl really a dork?

I think he adds a lot to the board. Seems to have good experience, knowledge, and insight.
I don't think he's a Dork. Maybe we need to lift his self esteemimage

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • Is MadMarty really mad? Does Clankeye really have a clank eye?

    Karl is the Grand Poopah of Dorks. The Dorkmeister. Prince of Dorkdam. Master of all Dorkland. Mayor of Dorksville.

    and do I ever get my "Irish" up..............naw never nada no way.image I like karl's posts, but sometimes they remind me of my small home town which has not one but two glue factories. You can see the trucks loaded with dead horses waiting to deliver them for processing. Next time you get the notion to either sniff or taste glue, well enough said.

    I think he is really just an average dork...trying to be an above-average ars.

    JJ of course. I think he adds a lot to the forum...much more than me. but he is clearly a dork.

    Nay, Frank. 'Tis the nightly horror of being slabbed that vexes him so.
    Graded, slabbed and traded sight-unseen, to a master most cruel and foul. Dreaming of a crackout, through eternity, black and endless.

  • Well, he claims he is. And I'm not going to argue with him. Particularly with him. image

    PCGS's definition of dork is slightly more strict than NGC's, but lately they've been much closer. ICG calls way too many people "dork" and I think this hurts their reputation. Accugrade will call anyone a "dork"; you just have to check the box on their submission form. image

    MadMarty -> you will really be mad when you try to sell your $100,000 pissing quarter and have a hard time finding anyone willing to give you more than 50 cents.

    Maybe in a slab it is worth more image

    being a dork isn't the issue! thinking like 1 is!!! bwuahahahahahahahahahahah!!!

    seriously, thanks guys. my contributions don't amount to all that much, i just like to stir it up sometimes. this forum is a perfect example of where the total value exceeds the sum of the individual parts.

    But dork is only insured for overcommenting, but there is no payoff for underappreciated comments. image

    Of course dorkkarl is not a dork. He's far too stubborn to be a dork. image

    But, what I really want to know is - is he in fact a Karl? Think about it......
    He's offered no proof of that, not a shred of evidence. Why should we take his word for it? Anyone could make such a claim, hiding behind that "dork" identity. image
  • morganbarbermorganbarber Posts: 1,821 ✭✭✭
    He is not one of my favorite contributors, but i have certainly come to the realization that the guy knows coins. Perhaps, in order to know this, I, too, must be a dork. Nonetheless, his opinions carry a lot of weight for me.

    I think Karl really was trying to choose DarkKarl when he signed up, and the O was a typo. Of course, Karl may disagree.image

    He's certainly One Cool Dork, if there is such a thing. image I certainly hope he does not drive a Yugo automobile. If he does he would be the Supreme Dork of Dork's.
  • HadleydogHadleydog Posts: 1,586 ✭✭✭
    If DorkKarl is not a genuine dork, and yet he is a dork, then does that make him an artificial dork? How long did he have to spend in that baked potatoe to a-d so convincingly?image
    One thing is for real though, I enjoy his posts and this board would be a lot duller place without him! Dork-on!image
