Ya Can't Fix Foolish

I mailed him again suggesting he may want to purchase a copy of the 2008 Red Book of U.S. coins and do some research before listing more stuff. I think the person is really not aware of what they are selling. The auctions are not going to make them more money the way they are presented. I wonder if they will respond to the advice? Mike

or the $10.39 shipping?

Hi Graceoutcast. It was me, not Bobby that edited the title. I think Ron White's bit is hilarious, but I don't think we need to call someone stupid if we don't know the facts of behind the persons abilities. Mike

good call, Mike. Hopefully he will join the forum.

i have done countless silly things when I sell first time at ebay but had corrected it when I got knowledge to do so.

what I can say about the seller is that he/she is likely not an ignorant about coins.

know what he/she is doing however they opted one wrong way.

it's just an opinion.

Whatever it's called, personal attacks will always be dealt with, intentional or not, because our members appreciate it. I could dig up dozens more threads like this too.

graceoutcast - I know there was no malice involved whatsoever. However being in the title like that, it could be construed as a personal attack by a new user or "lurker" and that's not the impression we want to give. Know what I mean?

Bobby, that is in fact why I love this place, as I've expressed in many different places. If I ever placed a listing like that one and someone didn't call me a cotton-headed ninny muggins, then I would be awfully disappointed. I sometimes forget that my background (thick-skinned smart-ass New Yorker) makes such glib comments part of daily life. I forget that just because I wouldn't care if you said my listing displayed several levels of cotton-headed ninny muggins that that doesn't mean that others wouldn't. I certainly would never want to insult someone just because they don't even know that they don't know what they think they know or have never even heard of this forum and I will try to be more sensitive to the sensibilities of my fellow members in the future in order to avoid stirring up the board of standards and practices. My apologies and thanks.
