With all due respect, one man's troll is another's esteemed colleague.  As I recall Ratzie33, or perhaps it was RichieRich2020, dismissed all naysayers as trolls with one broad brushstroke -- which ironically did not include me.  Maybe I should consider myself lucky for not being a Uighur.  It's all relative.  I reiterate, however, that I will never stoop so low as to block a fellow member or ignore his constitutional right to freely express a opinion.  (For those interested, NGC did in fact "punish" me for that off-hand remark of secretly inviting me to become a chat room monitor.  Learning the limits of tolerance is an on-going process.)

True, then by my count, you're left with 299,999,963.  Big deal.  (There are also three million migrants but no one knows what their religious inclinations are.)

I'm starting to understand why some of these posters were banned ATS and at CoinTalk - my ignore list just keeps getting larger and larger.

I've only ignored 2 folks in four years.  That's because they had NOTHING OF VALUE to add to a discussion about coins or anything else.   Folks that disagree with me are no problem at all - Bless their hearts.  I learn things about coins and other things from many forum members.

BTW, I was banned from ATS for arguing about the nonsense being posted about the virus from folks whose opinions were formed by CNN.  Then, when I posted about how I would treat criminals (I'm of Italian/Arab decent) it was too much for the "snowflake types" who think prisons should be closed, our border open to invasion, and bailing out rioters so they could riot again the next day!

The prison population nation-wide is down sharply.  Scores of prisons have been decommissioned, mothballed and sold. 

The native Americans -- and Mexicans, which anyone remotely acquainted with U.S. history knows, were the ones who were invaded and had their lands stolen right from under them.

And the sole purpose of bail is to insure a defendant's appearance in court.

Maybe you ought to stick to what you know.

Back on track, I tried to ignore myself and it wouldn't work.   Software.. Still have to listen to myself singing in the shower, off key, and can't remember the words. Pitiful.

You think that's bad.  As an accredited Troll, I am beginning to feel I deserve better.  Time will tell...

Take it easy there, BRG5658.  You should do what I do. Heretofore, the secret of my success...

First, never give in. Do not stoop so low as to ignore anyone. You are always free to turn the page or risk suffering a cerebral hemorrhage, as one member did, or develop an aortal aneurism -- now complicated by atrial fibrillation requiring "a procedure" my cardiologist has informed me is "inevitable" if left uncorrected.

What I, and a few others, apparently, do is sit back quietly and watch. When I am in a good mood, I drop by to see what new offerings Just Bob, possibly the nicest member, has introduced on his Token Tuesday thread, and compliment him appropriately.  (I was thrilled when he responded to me personally one, and only one, time.)  There are others who dislike me intensely, and I shower effusive praise on them unreservedly.  They know who they are.  I kill 'em with kindness.

VKurtB posed a special problem.  He would pay out just enough rope for me to hang myself -- and pounce.  I admired his technique so much that I try not to get him all riled up out of concern for his health.

There is one member who has blocked me and if I am capable of admitting I was wrong, and undeservedly rude, I would apologize to him publicly, but do not know how -- whether he accepts my sincere apology or not.  I will be drafting a note to him shortly at an address my innate nosyness found with the help of Ms. Google's niece.

You have been around a long time and have held your ground magnificently. It would be a shame to tamper with the rules of engagement.  Is there really anyone on this site "better" than you are? Maybe different, but not better.  Stick around.  You're doing just fine!

I used the ignore function on myself, but after several hours I changed it back. I realized not only did I like myself, but I'm the only person I trust, and I'm my own best friend. I missed me.

The main thing is you knew how to do it and didn't need to break the rules ..

Selective quote there busman. Where did I say NGC overgrades by half a point all the time? And you claimed I say it all the time, you only provided one link.

 

I stand by that statement. It is true when it comes to Morgan Dollars.

That was too easy. It was necessary to go back only 3 pages to find the above comment. I have no interest in going back into your hundreds of posts to point out the many comments about NGC. Your comments are known by many. Try as you may, you can't go over there and say one thing, only to come over here and make inconsistent, hypocritical and contrasting statements over here.

 

 

 

We don't need this over here. Quit making these forums a bad place to be.

If you have nothing good to offer, don't come

Hello, everybody! Retread guy here ready to carefully tread thru this classic thread. Old-timers may recall the above comment made by a distinguished member. In the days ahead, with the indulgence of Moderation and the present membership, I am going to be mining this thread to see if it's ready to yield its hidden gems. All in favor, say Aye!

Im curious. Why do you feel it's necessary to bring back these old, irritating threads?  What purpose are you trying to accomplish? I believe that pulling them back up does nothing more than add another level of agitation.  And "mining for hidden gems"?  What sort of numismatic related " hidden gems " do you expect to find?

Maybe you could try mining old threads like discovery pieces, threads that offer high level information on counterfeit ID, grading, or unusual seldom seen coins.  Pulling up that old info could be interesting and useful to new members, new collectors, and even us old guys who've forgotten about them (I've only been here about 2 years, so there has got to be a load of great stuff in the archives that I haven't seen). Just a suggestion, but something that would help and improve the community IMO.

Just my opinion.  You can do whatever you please (as long as the moderators agree)

...i believe we have had this conversation before, this path will put u on the fast track for the exit door...it has no merit, benefits no one...perhaps u should continue to pander ur triviality on the nothingburger thread so the rest of us only need to skip over one thread instead of two....

In deference to you and one other member who finds this thread "irritating," I am abandoning this thread forthwith. It is a rare privilege to be so honored by not one, but two highly esteemed members in the course of a day!  Rest assured, I will not coerce you, or anyone else, to scroll anymore. Wish granted!   🐓

There is no entourage or cabal out to get you and no grand conspiracy against you on this chat board. You aren't getting any kudos by constantly posting the bizarre false praise and worship comments. I consider posts like this to be insulting.  In my opinion, It's juvenile and immature.  

PLEASE STOP IT NOW!

Perfect thread for you! Why not just block him? I was able to block a few wind bags over on CT. It frees the content up something fierce. It's a great tool for weeding out the nonsense. Wish i could figure out how to use it.
