I'll just address one thing because the rest is just more of your juvenile absurdity. The Legend thing - I apologized for that. It was one of my worst online moments ever and I regret my error in judgement. I believe I had been upset with how Legend posted and that was the fuel for my bad judgement on using their images to exemplify a (sincere) point I was making.
There's no doubt about it, I was dead wrong and Laura and I worked it out in PMs that day, with me apologizing. Actually, we got pretty friendly after that. I made a bad mistake and crossed the line. I do want to point out that I make those types of mistakes very rarely and besides a few mistakes here over the course of 5+ years and 16K posts (no cheating posts, either) I did not engage in personal attacks or play the juvenile games so many hated (but your "friends" liked).
I can admit my mistake and owe up to it, and I accept the negative consequences of that. But what say you to the constant, daily, and normalized mode of personal attacks that is not apologized for by you and your condoners/enablers? It seems quite ridiculous for you, who acts 12 and makes personal attacks constantly, to be pointing out my mistakes in this arena.
Perspective, dude. You sorely need some.

Glad I caught this before I left because it reminded me of something I wanted to say. Your comment masks an assumption being made by some here - that it is their forum or your forum, as if I belong less or something. As if I am stirring the pot because I just made a vague thread topic. You know where people can stick that one. I am not stirring the pot or playing a victim by creating this thread - this is my forum like it is yours. If I create a thread called "Collecting Coins" or "Shiny coins" and write "discuss" that is not an invitation to people to make personal attacks or burden a thread with their personal dysfunctions and demented emotional needs. You seem to condone a very low threshold as to what justifies one in making personal attacks - perhaps that is EXACTLY why you hang with who you hang with. I have no control over idiots coming in. who holds grudges, who is deranged, and who is online. I am sorry you don't like the way I handled them (I guess you wanted me to stoop to their level) but do me a favor - spend your energy telling them not to act like fools and make personal attacks and stay out of my threads. Taking the other road - the road of suggesting I shouldn't feel free to make a thread like this - looks ugly on YOU. In other words, Craton, don't tell me people on forums deserve personal attacks because of this type of thread - tell the juveniles to grow up. That looks better on you. It's only the bully's playground if you let them be the bully and I am not the type to let internet bullies run the playground and make me "afraid" to post a vauge thread or a light-hearted thread.
From this point forward, spread the word to everyone. There is no excuse for making constant personal attacks and harassing another Member just because one's demented and childish mind thinks it's a good opportunity. That is why certain people were no longer invited by me - they either engaged in or condone this gross immaturity. I am sorry that this forum seems to be condoning this behavior but I'll make a damn vague thread any time I want and if you want to yap about it go take it to a teenage chat-room where it belongs. Meanwhile, don't tell me how to post when I am posting nothing unreasonable.
This forum seems to have changed. I don't get why they would allow people to run around harassing and attacking others on a personal basis. The excuses and condoning I am hearing from you Craton, are lame. You should be ashamed.
Now I really gotta run. Thanks.

I stopped after the first couple of lines. You said "As if I am stirring the pot because I just made a vague thread topic." ........ No, you are stirring the pot by continuing to spew your weak stance. This thread could go on for days and you keep saying the same thing over and over .......
Hey man, like it or not, I thought I would just have some light-hearted discussions with my fellow coin collectors. I had no idea there were emotionally dysfunctional "adults" lurking around waiting to make personal attacks as if they have nothing better to do, or have no one better to do it with. I didn't think my distaste for them on my site would still have them in a retarded frenzy. I assumed adults would have moved on by now since it's really not a big deal. Apparenly it is a big deal though, to them, which obviously spotlights my bad guess about them being able to get over it.
Not my problem. If you have nothing more to say to me, just stop posting.
