The silly thing is I can't find anything posted that would have induced this type of exchange, so this is a good place to stop. Sometimes people get misunderstood, and when it seem obvious it has occurred, apologies should occur, or at least let it go. If someone is touchy about their age, take it off of your profile page. Thank you!
[ Sorry but he said something really harsh to my cousin Maxim Hofstede. QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2300478, member: 31533"]Really.... on this thread???? Why didn't you report it? I looked a number of times and did not find it. Perhaps you will enlighten me as to which post it was in this thread? And why so nasty to say he's a jerk? That is a personal attack, which is not appreciated by anyone here.[/QUOTE]
@Mr Mercury , @green18 is one of the nicest people on the thread. IMO, your cousin came in with "guns a blazin'" just looking to mix it up.
Mr Mercury (and your cousin, since I will presume you will both be interested in this): As a mom, and someone who has actually gone though my own pre-teen and teenage years, I'll let you know that people say and do things that are annoying. And handling it in the manner you did wasn't helping things along for you. As a member of CoinTalk for a number of years, there is a lot of garbage talk going around here. I think it has to do with coin collectors somehow, but no studies have borne me out on this yet Anyways, just so you know, you might be prepared not to react as badly as I think you did over this. Because I can tell you this is minor compared to what some people give on this forum. Perhaps a good thing for you would be to simply try to ignore what you don't find funny or helpful and just go on. Or just take a break in between and not go all bad mouthing right away. Just my opinion. Hope to see you around on the forum but not so much if you are so quick to try to be someone with words that way. A bit of motherly love headed yours and your friend's way
No, he didn't... your little cousin misinterpreted the gentleman's post, refused to accept the clarification given him, and proceeded to throw a little hissy over it. No, but he is one of the most genuinely kind and gentle souls on this forum, and certainly doesn't deserve this nonsense from either of you. In fact, what he does deserve is an apology, especially from your cousin, but now from you as well. Respect is something that is earned, young sir, and owning up to one's mistake would make for a fine start.
