Home U.S. Coin Forum

I quit.

I've had enough of this. I came from a forum filled with hatred and cuss, expecting a nice place to come to, I went here, tried my best to help people, and came here. I've only been here a few weeks, but I'm really upset from some of the people here. I can only try my best folks, and I've been mis led in many directions. For example I was recently to bossy for someone, as it was an accident, I apologized to him though private messages, he said no problem,everything was OK. Then he goes and posts on the lightside, saying that I have no right to say this to him, oncesoever, and saying I am "running" this place, as, a complete jerk. I then PM and ask him what's going on, and he says I'm doing fraud and "It's over". I'm not going to give out his name, or anyone's name; as I don't want to offend anyone.

However, I must thank all to have helped me. I can't bare to post at any more forums. There is a complete pattern; everyone attacking me. Yet other people have become completely nice, only to ignore me and harass me in private messages.

Farewell.

Comments

  • Not true. I sent a PM, which I'm going to post here in a minute. No one ever said you were "doing" fraud - that is blatantly false.

    I am posting my PM, not any I received. My message:

    "What I mean is I have personal experience with these individuals, whereas you do not. Accordingly, you should have minded your own in that thread, and most certainly should not be telling me what to say and where to say it, especially where it concerns certain individuals who deserve to, and may be, sued for fraud.

    But I'm over it. Good evening."

    Sorry to waste forum members' time with this. Move along.

    And I'm leaving the forum. SO THERE!








    Not.

    One must wonder, wherein lies the fault. While we must take the good and the bad on all Forums

    I must say in this case it would seem "physician, heal thyself".

    You shouldn't let this kind of thing get to you. There will always be people you disagree with no matter where you go.

    You'll be back. Admit it, this place is addicting. I have at times taken breaks, but I always come back. Nobody gets rid of me that easily! image

    When a new member comes on to the board, we will take them at face value.

    Time alone will prove their credibility and character. Its not always easy to be a member

    of the Forum. Sometimes we have to take heat and sometimes we have to give heat.

    I suppose it takes a measure of self confidence and open mindedness to succeed. While the

    folks on this Forum are smart, nice and helpful, many do not suffer fools gladly. It takes newcomers

    a while to earn respect and true acceptence. Like a marriage, it takes work and a willingness to fit in.

    Anything truly worth while is well worth the extra effort.

  • Well said, Bear. GoldCoinLover, this is just a bunch of folks giving their opinions. Don't let it get to you.

  • Before CCR mentioned you were a minor....I was going to suggest that you must have had a difficult childhood as relates to playing on the playground.

    It's a big world. There are some great folks....and unfortunately, there are some folks that just aren't too much fun to be around. And, your going to find this in almost all aspects of life.

    However, you're only gonna be on this Earth for a very short while. So, if you want to make the most of that time......you will need to learn to just ignore and not play with the unpleasant people and cherish the nice ones.

    One of these days you'll have professors, and then bosses and coworkers....and then in-laws..... that just won't be nice people. You'll need to learn to avoid them as much as you can and run with the nice crowd.

    Good luck and I hope you stick around......a lot can be learned here.
    Go well.

    I know someone (for whom I have a great deal of respect) posted about this on the darkside, but please look at this phrase and think about it. One or two or a few people not nice is their problem--if it's 'everyone' then the problem is likely to be you.

    I had not responded to many of your posts (actually, only one) -- initially you came across as someone young, naive and ready for learning. After awhile (a short while I might add) you definitely seemed to be showing troll-like tendancies. If that is an error and not your intent, then please stay awhile--maybe you could go back and read some of your posts and figure out what may have ruffled a few feathers. After that you might find that there are alot of people here who bend over backwards to help educate people--if they are willing to be educated.

    Just my opinion...

    GoldCoinLover: You've got a great nickname and a super author icon -- hang in there with us.

    This forum is like a new shoe. At first it may seem a bit uncomfortable, but once you break it in after a bit of time it feels very comfortable. image

    I hope that you'll reconsider and lurk around for a while with us! image

    I can't agree more. I've been talking with Cameron (kieferscoins) since about the 2nd week I got here... and he has been a TREMENDOUS help to me in learning to get around here on the forums. Yeah, I've had my brushes with people... but I've gotten over most of them...

    And I must say... Again, The Wise One shares his infinite wisdom with us. Thank you Bear image

    Thats a pretty good analogy Stuart. I like that.

    It is true that this group,as in all diverse groups, is incorridgible.
    That may be the wrong word in this context but I mean, as a whole
    everone is so different in views and life experiences that your going to get
    some hair-splitting and seemingly childish attitudes from some of us...not me...the other guys.

    It, reading and posting here, can and will get to you at some point.
    Just step back and take a deep breath and let the water pass under the bridge.
    Its really really tough around here for those with the thinnest skin.
    Leave if you feel you must, but remember. You have lots more to gain in knowledge
    than growing white hairs if you do stay.
    So, Stay with us and grow some white hairs with us wont you?

    GoldCoinLover: Not EVERYONE was attacking. Maybe everyone but me.

    But still does not make it everyone!

    Keep that in mind. I am sure there are those you didn't even get top read the threads you are talking about including me.
