Taken out by a snipper mid post. I was trying to figure out who this alt was. Anyways "she" went out banging on the keyboard. She did it her way

Mark, if you're going to go out, may as well go out banging.

I have seen some amazing reincarnations on this forum. I don't think we have seen the last of C4C nor do I think this was "her" first life.

After reading C4C's first few posts, you just knew it was only going to be a matter of time.

CascadeChris · January 13, 2017 2:39PM

C4C is gone?

Edit: Yup, guess I missed it. Had to work this morning.

keets · January 13, 2017 2:57PM

I guess we were about due for someone to get banned, it had been awhile.

SanctionII · January 13, 2017 5:48PM

I remember that years ago a new poster appeared on the Forums and was a prolific, nay manic, poster and very enthusiastic about coins and the hobby. For about 7-10 days.

Then poof, she disappeared, never to post again. I do not think she was banned, she just left and went elsewhere. During her time posting she revealed she was struggling with addiction and being a lady of the evening. To this day I hope that she was able to get her life straightened out.

Yep. Way obvious it was an alt.....it even had referred to events from awhile ago....as if they were here at the time. And, being as mouthy as it was, the banning was a long time coming. Likely because of calling CAC names in a thread the other day.
That, combined with so many posts that went over the line, are likely why the banning happened now. I noticed, earlier this morning, that a number of its posts had been reported as Abuse. Any admin looking at those, given the types of posts the person was making, would probably add them all up and then ban.
I didn't go look and see WHICH posts had been flagged and marked as abuse, but from the posts I saw in threads, it isn't doesn't take any stretch of the imagination I wouldn't think...

amwldcoin · January 13, 2017 7:15PM

Hmmm...without looking around and not following "her"???? Posts. I thought it was interesting he or she was boosting Laura Sperber. Does that give any validity to anything???

TPRC · January 13, 2017 7:53PM

C4C had some interesting posts. Off base and over the top on Charmy, but otherwise good discussions and topics.

mannie gray · January 13, 2017 10:23PM

Just check out Charmy's FUN 2017 thread...or did the C4C comments get removed?

Nevermind about the C4C comments, they are gone...just enjoy Charmy's threads!

BryceM · January 13, 2017 10:57PM

People who are straight-up ignorant and abusive don't really bother anyone. They're discounted out of hand. It's the ones who post a few valuable things, ehibit some actual acumen, but just can't help but exhibiting sociopathic behavior that really irritate. Just like with coins, only the really good counterfeits are dangerous.

Well... I expected this would happen... was not sure how long she/he would last, but knew that it would occur soon. Buh-bye.....Cheers, RickO

I am at a loss for words as to why that person ranted over and over again about my FUN show thread. He was like a dog with a bone and just wouldn't let it go. I think he just wanted to create controversy for the drama and attention. Kind of reminds me of the days when BNB was on the boards!

Goldbully · January 14, 2017 2:35PM

I believe he may have told me to discuss only what is in the thread title.
Now who does that??

ms70 · January 14, 2017 2:37PM

I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone that others would find to be shocking. Maybe someone who despised the original O.F. and was key in it's demise. Someone who has a butt-kissing following here.

Here is the post in question:

There was a thread about it here and that didn't seem to be the case in that thread. I have no idea how to find that thread with this search engine!

This reminds me of the time when Legend set the reserve wrong on a coin....sold it at auction....delievered the coin.....then demand it's return.

Anybody ever hear the outcome of that one?

@craZ4coins said

No, but I betcha Laura made it right and ate the cost of Legend's mistake.

IMO, Laura is the most "stand-up" lady in the biz, heads and shoulders above all the others in terms of knowledge, business acumen and common sense. She stands as a pillar of integrity in the biz, crusades against the disgusting coin doctors and is an asset to the industry. You will never see a show report from her that looks like a travelog as she is strictly biz and a tad "earthy" (in a good sense).

I sure wish she was back posting here - it would be a breath of fresh air in a musty room!

And, ditto as to why I used the pronoun "it" when discussing said member.
Pretty sure it was a banned former forum male member.

Seems like I remember a few years back someone attacking Charmy's show reports in a similar fashion. Perhaps it was one in the same.

My recollection is that Legend hired an attorney to try to coerce the buyer into returning the coin. I wonder what happened. Although it would have been nice if the buyer returned it, I don't think he or she was legally obligated to return it. Equitable rescission (at least in my jurisdiction) requires that the party seeking cancellation acted reasonably. There were simply too many errors that occurred along too many steps of the way when it should have been caught IMHO. I don't think Legend had much of a choice but to eat it or pay thousands in attorney's fees throwing good money after bad unless the buyer caved.

The persistence of his [sic] rants in Charmy's thread was bizarre. My thoughts were that he was either having a manic episode and/or was deliberately pulling our chain.

They give the full experience. Everyone posts coin after coin. Hers are a nice breath of fresh air and an inside glimpse of a day (or 3) in the life of a show dealer

I will agree with what you say, but Yorkshireman has a right to his opinion as well. I am sure that more than just him have similar views but either skip over the thread or keep it to themselves.
He said nothing wrong and he is certainly entitled to his viewpoint - as are you (and others).

The amount of time I spent in the futile attempt to explain how dealers often DO make 5 bucks on an ounce bullion coin told me that the poster was either stupid or incredibly dense.
