Eliminate was not the best word to use. Jail or ban would have been more appropriate. I also understand some of the frustration given that several of the threads I have been following have long discussions that have nothing to do with the subject of the main thread. Some of us just are not great with word choice sometimes. But I think his meaning was plenty obvious.
I just received a pair of dimes from mach19 and I have no concern about his having my address. I was quite happy to receive the dimes as I didn't have many options to obtain them elsewhere. They are pretty nice to see in hand versus just pictures.
I think a few people are showing themselves to just be troublemakers who have some ax to grind.
"eliminate" can, and probably does, mean "ban" in the context of this forum.
As for "having the names/addresses of many forum members"....? How else would one send them stuff given out as a giveaway? Do those troublemakers want to do the giveaways instead? Maybe they want to pay for a 3rd party and all the extra shipping to do it?
People have been having giveaways on these forums for decades now yet it is only recently that some troublemakers want to make an issue of it? Because they have an ax to grind with the person doing this one?
Judging by some of the personal armament I have seen displayed here in posts through the years , I assume many are not concerned with giving their address for these giveaways.

This is a text only forum. There is no tone or body language. I know some people here in real life but not everyone. We had an enormous argument last week about the term 86; some thought it meant kill, some thought it meant kick out. It's been used both ways.
Eliminate has never been used to mean kick somebody out. Ban, jail, silence, mute, quiet, etc. There are many choices. When someone says
I TRULY wish we could track down the folk's who hijack these threads .....AND ELIMINATE THEM !!!
I would assume that OP is not referring to my March Madness bracket. He chose caps. He said TRULY. That does not sound like a figure of speech. If somebody said, "I TRULY wish we could track down the folk's who hijack these oil tankers.....AND ELIMINATE THEM !!!" or I TRULY wish we could track down the folk's who vandalize park benches .....AND ELIMINATE THEM !!!", what would it mean?

All a group of you is doing is trying to inflame a situation against someone who, for whatever reason, you guys don't like and are ganging up on.

Every year, the sports teams that don't make the playoffs are referred to as being "eliminated".
In math, you often refer to "eliminating" variables.
The police "eliminate" suspects.
Companies "eliminate" employees.
Sure, it COULD mean "kill". What are the odds?

Does mach19 TRULY wish he could track down forum members".....AND ELIMINATE THEM !!!" ?
I don't know what the odds are, I'm just responding to a an IMO troubling post.
You are work at a university, right? If an odd or disgruntled student posted on a message board that they TRULY wish they could track down their professors.....AND ELIMINATE THEM !!!, what would happen? My wife works at an elementary school; if a 5th grader said something similar the police would likely be involved.
I wish the mods would eliminate, from the forums, for any amount of time, those that decide to attack someone for having giveaways to members through the kindness of his own heart

Actually, the police do track down suspects in order to eliminate them. That also applies to math in the sciences and engineering where we track down variables to eliminate them.
If I were truly afraid of Mach19's intent, I'm not sure I would be constantly criticizing him.
I usually agree with you. But this seems a bit over the top. [As does mach19's post, but he has an odd way of posting much of the time.]

Wow, this sure isn't the forum that I remember from years past.
Nothing like this even came close to what goes on here nowadays.
I'd sure like to have one of those dimes though

Well, Mach19 was kindly giving some away until he got bullied too much and ended up pulling his giveaways
I've never had an issue with him but understand him getting tired of getting bullied by jealous, or otherwise problematic, people and then not wanting to deal with it and just pulling the giveaways
Bumping this thread, so everyone can see that @mach19 is good for his word.
I basically stated that I would love to have
one for each of my daughters. He messaged me and asked for my address. I saw no reason for alarm.
I think there was a lot of disrespect for his generosity, and his words were taken out of context.
Not only did I receive a P and D mint coin, but I also received a second set. Now I can give a set to each of my daughters.
It still surprises me to see how some people react on this forum.
If @mach19 ever wishes me to send him a small gift or two, I will kindly oblige.

I should have known .......
Wow, that's out there even for @mach19 .... Yikes!
And he's collecting multiple Forum member addresses with every giveaway...
Careful who you give your information to!
I will stop my giveaways......
I hope your HAPPY
What is this crazy talk?
I WISH I KNEW MY FRIEND !!!
What I Men't was to eliminate them from this forum......
I can't take this anymore.... It's time for me to leave .....

Please give my dime to a local charity, such as the Boys and Girls Club of America.
Thank you.
