Have you ever noticed that it's always the same people that are so negative?

its plain old human nature for some people to be angry at the world. for some fun and interesting responses, go ahead and tell one of those members about it. the retaliation is predictable and often humorous!!! i did it just the other day with a certain British intelligence operative!!

Anyway why choose to be a complainer? Why not try to make life more productive and enjoyable for those around us? It seems to be a simple matter of attitude.
Unbalanced is bad. An unbalanced washing machine walks across the floor & falls off your porch. An unbalanced tire or engine has premature failure. An unbalanced drunk falls on his face.
Like ying & yang, black & white, good & bad, can't have one without the other.
Like maggots & vultures negative people have a purpose too.
course, that's how i picture mad-marty dancing around....

Just about every message board is like that. Most people take on a certain persona when online. If you want to be amused, check out Flame Warriors. You may be able to match at least one member of these boards with each type of flame warrior.
I agree and I'm not saying that everyone should be "Happy Happy Bubbly" all the time.
My point is that It's the SAME people ALL the time...
I don't like it when somebody makes a rude comment of says something mean spirited, but this makes for a true Forum with open discussion. If we were all happy-go-lucky collectors, this place would be nothing but a glorified support group.
Now if you like that sort of thing then more power to you. But I prefer a little negativity/hostility.
I agree.... See above....
Note who came after who first? who does that make the troll?
See what I mean?

For some reason, I'm reminded of what Graham Chapman said in the Right-Thinking People sketch...
I think that all right-thinking people on this board are sick and tired of being told that ordinary decent people are fed up on this board with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not, and I'm sick and tired of being told that I am!

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

That's the extreme case, but you get my drift.
But how can one be positive when a person posts pictures of problem coin, then expects us to give them a thumbs up. Sometimes I avoid posting anything, but it's not right to lead people the wrong way. They will find out the truth eventually.
I think most positive people are not the "daisy dancing" hippies that everyone envisions. Most people would rather be neutral and positive, while still able to be skeptical and sarcastic when the occasion arises. It's not black and white here, people. We all have moods, and being too happy or too pessimistic all the time is pretty one-dimensional.
Do whatever works for you.
I always want to know what you really think about a coin I ask opinions on. I ask not for a thumbs up but for expertise. I recently returned a coin you said looked cleaned and when I got it, it was. You help save me bucks.
you should go back and read your thread and explain to me why you decided to become upset with my post. you ignored those laughing at you before me and even responded with a cut/paste of one reply and agreed you were a pain, though probably sarcastically. i simply reiterated what others before me had said in a different, more direct fashoin. funny, too, how a couple of other threads were dedicated to poking fun at you with massive uploads of pictures and you just laughed along. so, so sorry i bother you that much. i sure hope you don't lose any sleep over it
but you're probably right. i attacked you first and i'm a troll. you win............nothing.
now, for the funny part. should i type your reply, or would you like to have a go at it??

I agree 100%. When someone asks for an opinion honest answers should be given, even when the answer is negative.
This is not the type of post I am talking about.
I'm talking about the people that are negative about nearly EVERYTHING.

I know people who if they found a bar of gold on the street, they'd compain that it didn't have a handle on it to pick it up with.

That's cool.
After reading many of the posts I have to add that constructive criticism is easliy misunderstood as negative criticism, but somtimes that is caused by the way the person presents his/her viewpoint.
Some people may mean well but they have the tact of a marine corp drill sargeant.
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
