New Knights Of The Coin Table

I hope I have this all wrong. Oh, to heck with trying to explain it. This isn't as cute, cool, and innocent as it seems. Feelings will be hurt with those that aren't cool and in with the hip crowd "WITHIN" CoinCommunity. This shoots a big hole in the cohesiveness of CoinCommunity. Now when you come here it won't be like checking in with the "WHOLE" group, it will be like going to the Mall.

I have nothing to lose or gain with my next statement because it will be my last post for obvious reasons:

Bobby and Susan..

Twentycent am I missing something here.
This seems a very strange reaction.
What does it matter what people wish to call themselves or groups they wish to belong to. I for one am here to leach as much knowlage as I can be it from a Valued Member, Pillar or self proclaimed Knight. It matters not to me what group or sub group the members of this forum choose to belong to. What matters to me is that people here will explain things to me if I ask nicely.

When I got on my computer this evening and saw the post from twentycent, I was shocked. I probably shouldn't have been shocked however, in that as a teacher and newspaper writer I realize that when dealing with large groups, one is almost certain to encounter a large variety of opinions -- some of them difficult to understand.

Knight of the Coin Table isn't a sinister thing, but a short-lived way to bring a little fun into some lives. For instance I felt that Morgan Fred's comments were some of the funiest things I have read in weeks. They brightened my evening considerably.

The idea that something like this takes away from the "group" is also hard to understand. We are all unique. Some collect, some speculate. Some like gold, others silver, copper, or other metals. Some like modern, some ancient. Some U.S., others foreign. Some specialize in currency rather than coins. Some of us have barely enough money to buy a few common dates while others have collections which have to be housed in safety deposit boxes. So, nope, we aren't all alike. Those with an intense desire to be just like his/her peer, need to think about joining the army, and heading for basic training.

I think that a look at the number of members who have read this thread, and posted, suggests that most of us have had a good time with the "Knights" thing.

Perhaps, as discussed recently, we do need a new area for posting themes which deviate from straight coin collecting? At any rate, in this sometimes dangerous and scary world, I suggest we need a litle comic relief from time to time. The five of us who are currently Knights, can assure twentcent that there is no evil intent to our little group. We are just having a little fun. So, join in, get a life, and have some fun with the rest of us.

Plus, this is a great coin forum, with or without the Knights, and you should reconsider leaving it.

Is there any such thing as a female Knight? What would you call her? (And lim- don't think I missed that "thorn among the roses" crack! )

Yes there are female kinghts
They are the Rose among the thorns
and my favourite female knights
wear knighties

(So That may qualify a few other female darkside collectors as they may already have the uniform)

I'm sorry to see that twentycent didn't understand that we're just having some fun here! I don't know what was said, but I hope he can reconsider and rejoin us. Honestly, we'll let anyone in, all you have to do is claim ownership of Aussie coins! (Hope I don't get in trouble for revealing secrets here... )

Kyra is correct!

We are not an elite organization.

But we are a fun organization.

To become a member, all one needs to do is show an interest, be a darkside collector, especially Aussie coins, and come across as a good and helpful numismatist.

Well rggoodie they aren't showing any country but are advertising our world right here in the CoinCommunity Forum. They are generic for all the Knights from all over the world. You still need to be a foreign collector (darksider) to get in but I think our numbers will grow rapidly!!! New members being inducted again this week as we reach out to foreign collectors everywhere to join us and our forum in 2006!!! More coming I am sure!

Can I please also nominate ageka to the Round Coin Table As a darksider, he certainly has met the requirements of a Knight with his useful advice and thoughts that he has given so freely to assist members here.

In the days of the Knights, there was a king known as Edward Longshanks...Ageka living so close to the "bloodsucker" can be knighted as Sir Ageka "Longfangs"....
