I got an e-mail from piecesofme letting me know that he has been banned after making some less than well thought out comments on the abilities of PCGS graders in the thread discussing an MS67 Kennedy half in the US Coin Forum. Please be careful what you say or how you conduct yourselves. I'd hate to lose anymore of my forum friends. Hopefully, after a suitable timeout, Mr Willis will let him come back.

I was wondering why we hadn't heard from him in light of the big plunge in silver it seemed odd that he wouldn't have weighed in by now

That does suck but like you said many have made it back after a 6 month ban.

It wasn't public. Rich didn't even know he was banned until he had trouble posting. He contacted PCGS and they told him he had been banned. Others have been banned and later reinstated after a suitable timeout.

what he had to say because I know it came from his heart and it was part of his
convictions, he added a lot of flavor here too! And I hope he's back soon!!!!

Everybody has the right to start their own forum and say anything they want in it.

it would have been nice if they had sent an email to him instead of letting him go thru that. again, hopefully pcgs will let him back in
I knew it would happen.
I don't know what he said about this or that grading company but if he got banned for that while others are allowed to stay for hinting about killing a sitting President, race riots, illegal firearms, armed insurrection and a host of other felonies then it sounds like power has their priorities a tad askew.

This!!
While I respect POMs contributions and knowledge, he would often
take a thread in a nippy direction when it really didn't add anything to the post.
You can kind of tell the ones who are going to burn like comets.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

I started this thread because POM was very active here and many of you may have wondered what happened to him. Also, I wanted to warn you guys to watch what you say. At the risk of sounding callus, I'd hate to see any more of you guys get banned.

Agreed. The title implies somebody died.

Sorry, guys. It was never my intent to imply that anyone died.

How about changing it to
"Anotherone Bites The Dust!"
There are a core group of people here that post, many of them in this thread, that I enjoy and respect.
Neither of those qualities were present for me in the perceived loss for others.

That sounds like someone died more so than the original title.
