I'll speak for myself (and strongly guess that it applies to others, too), but this is exactly what pushed me away from Coin Talk more than any...
@desertgem, as a moderator, was doing right until the Admin with the enormous ego threw him under the bus. I would've given up being a moderator, too.
Not at all. But what I would like is a system by which someone is privately warned first before being permanently banned. As noted in the post...
No, I didn't know that happens every time. Reading this thread, it sounded like FurryFrog got no warning - just banned on the spot. If he had...
I would think someone with substantial time and contributions to the forum would warrant a private disciplinary warning as a first step, rather...
Great writeup, as always! To me, Claudius is such a frustrating emperor, just for the way he doomed his son Britannicus and daughter Octavia to...
I never understood the reasoning behind an 18-foot toga being wrapped around a person, leaving only one arm usable. I can't think of anything more...

Was the package insured? If so, filing a claim against the USPS would be my first course of action.
I think the Augustus is stunning, especially that portrait - wow!
Since I own a grand total of one candidate, she's got to be my pick: Julia Domna. But she did catch my eye, and her story (well, the end of her...
I would clean whatever ordinary dirt I could get off of the bracelet, but not do a thing beyond that, and definitely leave the patina as it is....
The stylus I posted is 5-1/2 inches long, but I've seen many that are smaller than that, too. The one in the Pompeii portrait looks longer than...
Before I printed that Pompeii portrait to display next to my stylus, this is what I did to it to clean it up a little and fix the proportions to...
I don't know if you've ever seen this stylus, but it shows ancient Romans had a great sense of humor:...
