To be Textile or Not to Be Textile ??? That is the question...

Some posters seem to enjoy melodrama and hyperbole (other threads) more than others.

 

And some posters have more money then good sense.

 

Kenny has been a repeat customer of mine. Every coin he has kept that I sent him is a coin I wished I never sold. The one coin that he returned was a coin I was in a hurry to get rid of. IMO he has an impeccable eye for quality coins and is reasonable enough to know that those coins come with premiums attached.

You've been here for 4 years. Ive been here for 12. Keep thinking you are superior someday it might come true for you.

 

I have never claimed to be superior to anyone nor do I think I am superior to others. I'm here to share observations and experiences and to learn from the observations and experiences of others. You are the one who seems to think he is an expert and cannot seem to grasp legitimate dissent or the thought that others might reasonably disagree with you. And there clearly is a much larger context than is portrayed in this thread that has warranted my snarky remarks. And you are not the expert you seem to think that you are.

 

For supposedly being an expert you certainly make some pretty grandiose/sketchy claims on this forum. If you were the Peace Dollar expert that you think you are, then you could answer your own question in this thread and wouldn't have needed to solicit clarification from Mark in his comments - the basis of which one would think would be rather obvious. Similarly, I question your advice to posters in the past to resubmit coins several times with questionable toning that were already bagged by grading service and truly undisputed experts - say former top TPG graders and/or cameo CAC grader(s) - similarly opined had small chances of making of ever making it into problem free plastic. And then there was the thread where you attacked me for posting that certain minor peripheral album coins were not comparable to brightly colored coins with substantial toning that many would consider attractive. (Which I let go only because a good amount of time elapsed before I read your hyperbolic and misguided posts). Somehow the distinction was lost on you. True experts don't need to brag about putative "qualifications" - they are recognized for their insightful posts. I think forum members see you for what you are (in my opinion).

 

For too long, I have keep quiet about your grandiose and exaggerated (in my opinion) claims and comments and I have sat at the side lines and said nothing. Since you want to have a discussion about expertise (in other threads), I think it is quite appropriate that we discuss your expertise. Maybe it is my life experience or business dealings, but I have a sensitive internal compass for BS. In my opinion, you are full if it as you are yourself.

 

Now that I have said what I felt needed to be said, I'm done with you, this thread, and your hyperbolic/melodramatic BS.

 

I do owe you an apology. I spoke too harshly and should not have attacked you.

 

For my misgivings, I am sincerely sorry. I wont do it again. I hope we can move past this.
