There is nobody I would trust more to keep the tarnish off my coins and kids off my lawn then ricko.......

Walker Proof Digital Album 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 find it ironic that the guy who has a snarky, tired comment in every toned coin thread is complaining about being disagreed with.
that's not what the disagree is for. what you are saying is you don't like a guy so no matter what he posts you will troll him and disagree. Disagree/Agree/Like are for that particular post.
Thanks Mark.....
Although it is well known that I prefer blast white coins, I do not disparage those who like colorful tarnish. I have stated that some tarnish is ugly, but there are usually several that agree on those particular coins. I have often complimented Auroraborealis on his remarkable collection....it is his theme and he had done an outstanding job of assembling coins that fit his preference. Cheers, RickO
I like (no pun intended) the agree/like/LOL options. Sometimes, you want to support what the OP or a commenter is saying, but it's not something that rises to the level of requiring an essay. I think that Disagree, on the other hand, should be used sparingly and primarily in response to actual opinion statement. The hosts should find a way to monitor and sanction users who just go around and Disagree-bomb people for no good reason.

My question to you is, do you think it's necessary to proclaim that "you dont like tarnish" every opportunity you get?
I'd be honored to have such a perfectly crafted and popular brand.
Try it my way, I have a perfectly crafted and unpopular brand. The coins are way cheaper.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Well Ricko you are neck and neck with agrees and disagrees..........I upped you one on an agree...............any bets on which one will hit a hundred first
Holy cow! So many people clicking buttons in this thread! Totally agree with this video reference and am posting to show that the new forum allows you embedded videos too:
The phantom anonymous disagreer apparently needs attention badly.
I really don't understand it. WE all know RickO doesn't like toning.
Big deal, who care if he does or not? I like coins both ways: toned and untoned.
Big deal....nobody cares what I like except me.......and I don't give a damn whether you like what I like.
But also, even the disagreer should admit that a thread about toned coins seems incomplete without RickO's comments.
His comments add humor to the boards, admittedly, it's a dead horse, but it's a funny dead horse.
So, here's my bottom line: Yes, as strange as it sounds, sometimes beating a dead horse is funny.
David Letterman made a living from beating dead horses for damn near 40 years.
So agree to disagree with me, or agree to agree with me, or agree to liking to agree, or disagree to liking to agree, or.......hell with it. I'm going to have an oatmeal stout.
You may agree or disagree if that is a beer you agree is a good choice on a blustery fall afternoon.
I happen to agree,
This thread has been a lot of fun but there are lessons to learn; like it doesn't matter if someone agrees with you or not.
As "bad" as this function is I think we could end up using it to our benefit. I'm on one site where you can vote a post "up" or "down" and some people are too cowardly to explain why they gave you negative "reputation" nor will they post to say what the disagreement is. At least this is "off the cuff" and could be used as an adjunct to our opinions rather than in place of them.
And, yes, I certainly had to give Ricko a few negatives to keep in the spirit of the thread despite the consistently high quality of his posts.
A clear response back if someone was to disagree is anyones right but ill bet adding the disagree button wasnt intended for abuse of it...
I wouldn`t worry too much Rick most of us on here consider you family and very knowlegable...
Thanks Wayne...The disagrees really do not bother me, I just could not understand why someone would disagree with a statement such as "Nice project.....I find the ideas that collectors come up with to be fascinating... Cheers, RickO" That is the reason I started this thread,...never thought it would go this far.... Cheers, RickO

Someone went through last night and disagreed with all of my posts the last week or so. I must be more disliked than I realized!
Nah...there are just a few folks that seem to enjoy being a troll and disagreeing with the most bland comments. Like others have stated in this thread, I have also had comments "disagreed" with that really were comments that had nothing to agree/disagree with. Just simple statements.
When I see stuff like that, it just lends me to believe that some folks have nothing better to do.
@Boosibri, @Bochiman, - I agree with Ron.... seems there are a couple of trolls that do it just for spite....
I do not let it bother me... my original post was such about such a post as Ron just described, and I started this thread simply because I could not understand what there was to disagree with... after that.. the disagrees came fast and furious.... I just laughed... Cheers, RickO
@Type2..I do not know.... I guess it depends on what type of flag....someone flagged a couple of mine as spam... that is a joke... I do not sell things here... Cheers, RickO
I think disagrees on this thread are a formality, and that every response will eventually be disagreed with. If you disagree with this, however, you can only be right if this post is never disagreed with, so you'll have to agree, which means you can't disagree. I'll request that a paradox button be added.

Too funny!
There is one poster in particular who waits for me to post and immediately hits it with disagree or flags it. Every single time. He also went back finding old posts and tagging all of them. The other day I burped and he disagreed.

Ricko - something interesting to possibly think about? I use an IPhone and sometimes when I scroll the page I accidently hit those darn emoticons. I don't know if it might be related but I find myself hitting them for no other reason than trying to scroll down the page.
I seriously think this is a likely scenario. I also use another app called "Quora" and I noticed that I was inadvertently down voting other's answers with my "fat fingers". I felt bad, but could not take them back.... I became more careful and it is not a problem anymore.
It (the disagree icon) could be done away with and then a person would have to actually articulate an opinion of disagreement.

Seriously, though, I also noticed that several posts of my own that I thought were simply short and factual were hit with the dread "dislike" tag for me, too. I guess it will all shake out in the end.

i tried that. no, you can not disagree with yourself. (sorry)

Hi. I'm a veteran troll and I disagreed with your post, as well as LOL'd.
Successful BST transactions with forum members thebigeng, SPalladino, Zoidmeister, coin22lover, coinsarefun, jwitten, CommemKing.
Click "Disagree"? Not me.
I think it's a lazy & ineffective & inarticulate way to express a contrary opinion.
Also, there's no way to discuss with someone who clicks "Disagree". Great for you -- if you can't engage criticism.
Kinda cowardly too.
I wouldn't miss this feature if it disappeared.

I'll probably get 10 "disagrees" for this but I'll try to make up for all the ones I gave you here where it's appropriate.
