Gold Coin Lover Please Read

I think you're being very hard on Susan there GCL.

She has been more than fair with you, patient and optimistic. The biggest irony is you think she has wronged you when you were the one that spat on her friendship and her assistance.

You're worst enemy GCL is not any of us, not members of any other forums you've been on. Your biggest enemy is yourself.

I was not going to reply to this but I feel that Goldcoinlover deserves our help

I typed and deleted this reply three times and decided that I owe at least the support I am trying to give

Do not give up Goldcoinlover

The biggest enemy in all of us is a misguided subconscious that thinks it is doing what the conscious mind wants but in reality is doing exactly the opposite

What happened? What did I miss---geezzz, I for one cannot imaging Susan insulting anyone. Now she has spanked my hand once when I started a topic and challenged a young pup coming in here from another forum trying to do same thing thing he did over there, see his useless post so he could see his post counts go up. Susan killed, not closed the thread, she deleted it, she sent me an email, from then on it was over. Am I mad at Susan--absolutely not. In fact after that I respected her even more. That aside the only thing we should be discussing is coins in here--, and sometimes friendly chatter. Otherwise as Susan said, lets not get personnal..There I said my peice--

Cisco, basically, she sent me an email saying to me if I posted anything off topic not related to coins agani or I disagreed/argued with anyone again I would be banned. She also said she thought I was serious about coin collecting but now she doesn't think I am and that I'm not serious about it and I don't like coin collecting.

Before that she was very kind to me, but she was obviously very angry and mad at me. I apologized to her and I think she misunderstood some of what I posted CiSCO

Here is the cut/pasted email that was sent. I don't believe that I said what GCL stated above. I just want to keep the record straight. I don't like to be misquoted. I think it would be best to let this matter drop and continue with coins.

Kevin,

I saw your most recent thread and have to say that I am very disappointed (and angry) right now.

Our members have done everything possible to support you and compliment you and this is a very poor way to repay them. Your problems were on another forum, not ours. I resent that you continually bring up the problems you have had elsewhere. It is not the function of our members to make you feel better about what occurred elsewhere.

Up until now, you have been doing very well with us. The responses to your last posts have been very respectful and many of the responses you have received have been downright complimentary and very supportive of your intelligence and ambitions. You had no right to turn around and lay some guilt trip on any of our members. Instead, you should have felt gratitude that our members are so willing to give you the fresh start that you said you wanted.

I am especially angry that you attacked Lim118, who is one of the most generous members on our forum. There is not a doubt in my mind that he intended to send you coins (they may already be in the mail). Since he's sending them from Australia, it would take a little time to receive them. When you elected to say that he was probably lying about sending them, you did him a serious injury as far as I'm concerned.

I have posted to the thread and locked it. I have to tell you that if you post similarly again, you will be banned from CC also.

I can be very understanding of mental and emotional difficulties, but there are many of us who have these types of problems and deal with them every day. They are not a license to undeservedly attack anyone.

I hope this is the last communication of this type I shall have to send to you.

Susan

Wait! I haven't said anything in this thread yet!

As someone who used to own and operate a popular forum for a couple of years, and as someone who used to moderate here for a time, and as someone who has been asked to moderate on several other forums and as someone who either actively or periodically posts or regularly lurks about every coin forum you have heard of, I will say that I think Susan has been more than fair.

A good forum needs a lot of things to keep it interesting and fresh but drama, and those who constantly create it, are not one of the things that they need.

Please, for the love of coins. Remove this kid. I can't stand this type of self pitty. Clearly he is lacking confidence and searching far and wide for attention. Both negative and positive. We continue to reply to his horrible rhetoric, it's only going to get worse. Sorry, but I just have a problem with this type of posting. I have enough drama as a mod on my other sites. Stuff I put up with. I like the drama free feel I get here when I stop in to say hi.

sorry...You have wonderful site here. Fantastic to be exact. I'd really like to see it not tarnished (no pun intended).

There is a whole lot of good advice in this thread!!
I am tempted to drag it over to the CU coin forum.

As Big brother on the forum,

Everyone has had a chance to air their feelings.
No more needs to be said.
If you want to say it stand in front of a mirror and do so.

We are family.
we will have some disagreements,
but we will also have some discipline.

Like any Great marriage, the partners do not always love each other each day, but the good one stay together and work out their differences.

The idea of this forum is to educate others as well as ourselves in the area of coins.

Yes The moderators allow for some fun & personal posts.
We will continue to do so as long as this remains a family friendly forum.

If you read other posts, you will see we have a great variety of ages and experience in collecting.

All are welcomed and we can all learn from each other.

My last recommendation is that anyone who is having trouble with another member work it out privetly with email or as they say in Australia - Go walkabout- which is inviting you to take a hike for a while and come back when you cool off.

I would like to thank each of you who have contributed to this thread.
Now it is time to drop it!

I am asking Mike and Susan to join me in stating that if this thread is continued in other parts of the forum, "It will be deleted"

I am proud to call all of you family.
for thiose of you who are new and do not understand this post,- ignore it and enjoy the many wonderful educational post on coins on this forum.

Teach others.
