So many grumpy coin people (and I don't even mean the ones who say they are grumpy)

Bochiman

Ya know,
For coin people.
For a hobby that some use to relax (I know I do)
For a bunch of adults (YN don't take offense...you guys are being way more mature than many posting here over the age of 18!)

A lot of people posting are either plain ol' trolling, stirring up BS, or just plain ol' stupid (IMHO).

People don't like other people's opinions, so they attack.
Don't like other people's post counts, so they attack
Don't like how PCGS runs their business, so they attack
Don't like comments that are stated to be one person's comments about something, so they attack
Don't like their own life in general, so they attack others because they hide behind anonymity on the forum

Well, attack me....keep it all in this thread and let the other threads get back to coins, please.
I have a real life.
I keep real busy lately so if when you attack me you are just looking for a quick reply to make you feel better, I am sorry that I may not be able to reply in a timely fashion.
I use coins, collecting, numistmatics, as a chance to learn something new and to relax.
I don't use it for a business. I buy and have only ever sold 2 coins (well, 3 if you count a SAE, raw, that a friend saw and wanted, while I was using it as good luck piece). So, I couldn't care how PCGS, NGC runs their business as long as I get to buy nice looking coins that I want.
I don't have 2 million posts.
I don't prescribe to "XXXX is best and I can't buy the rest" for any TPG (I have ~40% PCGS, 30% NGC, 8% IGC, 1% ANACS, 1% PCI for my slabed coinage) so I do focus on the coin although I did buy a PCGS SAE MS69 set and put it in my son's name on the registry because it was his 2nd birthday and I wanted to do it for him.
I have both some older coinage and moderns...I don't disparage collectors of either and think people need to only think like I do I would love a 1800 or earlier coin, that you could still tell what it was and all the words, etc, and a "no problem" coin, but I can't afford it)

Anyway, enough babbling....if you got through all that, then this is your chance to attack....hopefully, i gave you enough fodder to do it. Take any piece above, or make up your own, and attack...just keep it in this thread so those of us that want to learn/talk coins can do it

Very nice post. I enjoyed reading it.

See I knew the rest of them were grumps. I've been misunderstood all this time. Life is great and everyday is a holiday.

Bear

You got it all wrong. Grumpy was one of the seven dwarves. Together with Manny, Moe, Jack

Groucho,Happy and Buckwheat.

Until I saw that smiley, I thought Lucy was really giving it to me in this thread
And, not in the good way...heh.

Bring it on I say, bring it all on

Anything people on this forum can say to attack is peanuts to what i go through daily at work
I have to be the "go-between" between people at my company and some of our partners/customers. I hear it from both sides...heh.

You guys don't even know HOW to b !tch at all compared to what I hear.
And, I get to go to Houston on Monday to get complained to, yelled at, in person...a whole room and only 3 of us. Heh.
I didn't even have a part in what I will be getting yelled at for. I love it. Been doing it for nigh on 7 years+ now.

Btw....attack attack attack.....in this thread....and, I am going to bed now I hope, to get some sleep. But, bring it on

LucyBop

Heh Heh....

Coin collecting is still very much fun for me...........

and my eyes still light up with some GEMs like they did when I was a small child....
