And aside from alcohol, benzodiazepine withdrawals are the only other addiction withdrawals that can literally kill you.

Knots came first and the Xanax came last after trying many other things given to me by a person who went to school for 11 years to study medicine, I think they call them doctors, it also helps to have a wife who is a nurse practitioner and a kid in med school. Medical opinions given to me on cointalk hold little value to me, but thanks anyways.

We will have discipline!

And I'm sure you think it's perfectly normal to be bragging about popping Xanax and smoking weed on a coin forum, too? In case you haven't noticed, there are lots of YNs on this forum.

Doh!

About 5 minutes ago 2 members just got a 1 week "time out" from the forum. If you want to act like children then by God I'll treat ya like children !

I have sent PM's, I have posted warnings in threads, I have done just about everything I can do short of what I am doing now. And the same thing goes for everybody, you can treat each other with respect and stop this nonsensical bickering, or you can take an involuntary 1 weeks vacation from Coin Talk.

Anybody can disagree with anybody, and post about it. But there is a right way and a wrong way to go about doing that. I strongly suggest that everybody forgets about the wrong way from here on out. There will be no more name calling. There be no more calling this member or that member a "troll". There will be no more accusations thrown around and posted about saying this member did this or that member did something else. If you got a problem with something that another member says - then use the Report Post icon and report it. And the Mods will deal with it, IF the Mods think it dealt with to begin with. If they do not, then nothing will be done and I expect others to forget about it and move on.

A few people are slowly turning this forum into what the PCGS forum is like. And I'm not gonna stand for that. You can disagree, you can debate opposite or different points of view, you can even argue. But you will do so in a respectful manner - or, suffer the consequences.

We have rules around here. Generally I am pretty lax and let people have their say. But I guess it's my fault, maybe I have been too lax. Well not anymore.

So heads up folks. Start acting like the decent and respectful people I always thought you to be.

In lieu of recent events, I'm fairly certain I'm next in line.

If it does happen ,it will be because you optioned that your action on the forum was more important than the rules and membership of the forum. And this would be true for anyone who made such a decision. The rules are very simple, but some feel that they wish to be the center of attention by violating them rather than attract the attention by their knowledge and helpfulness. If you want to be a forum member, than act like it. If you don't, then why court a banning rather than just leave it on your own volition.

Some may think that Doug was just spouting words, but those who know him better, knows that he means this

with all of his heart. he really does think that every member is a decent and respectful person. It is a disappointment to him when action has to be taken, but it will if necessary, and everyone knows it.

I must be missing the rowdy ones!

The coin forums I go to look like "the shootout at the OK Corral" compared to the stamp forums I go to.

Those are the ones where they threaten to go and break into someone's house & lick all their stamps!

Hey, those stamp folks can be crazy!

And wild ones.

Jim,

My statement was not a dispute

Thank you for your comment. I know that if the membership all got together at a meeting in the physical world, we would all get along very well. On a forum, everything we post will be in some archive someplace for a long long time. Joking, sarcasm, kidding, whatever word one might use is very difficult to indicate in writing. Emoticons help a little, but being an international forum, culture and language, can cause misunderstandings. Often in a thread, there will be someone asking that the thread be deleted or closed, but the owner and administrator is very tolerant, as long as the rules are followed. I consider it easy to help moderate this forum because so many are nice guys, even when a newbie is sure they have a 1943 "magnetic" copper lincoln since their granpa gave it to them, and take the time to post correct information in a decent way. Some of us are young , and some are much older, and most inbetween, but respect for others build respect for oneself. Ok, I am leaving the pulpit for a while

Bragging? Not even, wish I didn't have to take any pills ever, but I have no shame about it and not trying to hide it, walk a week or two in my shoes and maybe you would be more sympathetic....Cannabis is a different story, part of the Califonia cultural, a way better alternative than alcohol, I use it both medicinally and recreational and strongly feel its nothing to shelter kids from knowing about and have two kids that are the age that have many friends that shouldn't be smoking the stuff, but my openes and honesty with my kids since they were very young seems to have been the best route to take, one is doing great in collage and the other is working her ass off to get all Empire and county athlete of the year if she keeps it up (that's bragging) and me the druggie, not even 40 yet and could retire tomorrow if I wanted, but I think I'll wait till I put all three of my little edited~ language through collage.

Do I have to defend myself about calling my kids edited ~ language? I would give my life for each one of them, I live for them.

My father would call me a "Edited ~ language as a form of endearment.

I apologize if I offended you. As is the problem with all forms of written communication, it's nearly impossible to determine tone. I figured it was a term of endearment but just wanted to make sure
