First off SUSAN you may lock this at any time as it is not meant to hurt anyone in any way but I do think it should be read by all. Yes I want GoldCoinLover to read it as well as what I have to say is important. Now GCL why do you think WE are all HERE? Do you think you are the only person here who has been treated unfairly elsewhere? You would be surprised as to how many GREAT collectors are here for various reasons such as yours. Many of us were refugees from the old Coin World forum, and for the most part were like family, when the rug was pulled out from under us. We managed to stumble through other forums trying to find one another again. We suffered through the flames just as you have, tried forum after forum, and then found a home here. Yes, a great number of people here have been insulted, slapped around, humiliated, belittled and condemmed on other forums but our journey led us here. Now we are building relationships, buying, selling and trading WITHOUT FEAR with collectors all over the world. WE have each others respect and trust and YOU are a part of this family if, and only if, YOU choose to be. Forget yesterday as it is long gone! Don't dwell on the negatives of life but DO dwell on the positives and there are plenty of positives here regarless of your age, race, religion or personality. All the collectors here have chosen to remain for their own various reasons and those who may leave, never to post again, have exercised their rights to journey elsewhere. The choice is yours, just as it is with each and every one of us. YOU make the decision and then go with it but just remember it is about COINS or COIN RELATED and if our topics do stray on occassion it is with a FAMILY that understands. We have laughed together, sometimes wanted to cry together and for our own deep interest in one another, we have prayed together. This is in no way a slam or a flame but just a way to say you are welcome here or you can move on. Its your life, your journey and your hobby. NO chains bind any of us! |

And some of us still get slammed on other forums  quote:

Absolutely 100% correct. Many of these "forum" members have poured love and prayers out of their hearts for me over the years. While "we" may not always agree or even like each other day to day, it is NO different than any other family. Under it all, most of us have an underlying RESPECT and ADMIRATION for one another. I have developed a few good friends through this forum, and that is FAR more important that anything else. Differences will always be a part of our lives, however, it is our friends that make differences count. Our lives can be measured by many factors, but in the end, it is only our friendships that will measure us......... |

I'm not going to give advice out anymore because GCL just doesn't listen to it. I have tried on numerous occasions, and all to no avail.
But one thing I will say. Snap out of it, ignore everything bad that ever happen before you saw this full stop
.
There it is, now go out smile and feel good.

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'll be brief.
First of all, I agree with what Terry posted.
Secondly, even after years of belonging to coin forums, I still don't seem to understand what "personalities" issues have to do with them. Aren't they designed to learn about coins, and offer knowledge?
Outside of a Dodge Diesel truck forum, and the two coin forums, I don't belong to any others. However, even within these three I tend occasionally to see slamming, bickering, and so forth. The result of individuals who need to "get a life" I would think.
To me it's obvious. Stay on topic and use the forum for what it is designed for. Period.
This, by the way, is a wonderful forum. As a CW forum refugee, I can say I'm sure glad I found it.

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--  Edited by CiScO

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 Forum Mom |
