[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1152202, member: 26972"]Awwwwww... I really like/ no love the coins and your posts/interaction. Oh well, thanks for your contributions, including the ones about image posting. They are helpful in my education with coin collecting. In a disagreement, I do my best to support my opinions with facts, I only ask that others do the same. It's the internet, if you don't want to play, I understand, just take a sec and think about the following: [B]adj. combative [/B]- inclined or showing an inclination to dispute or disagree, "a style described as abrasive and contentious"; argumentative - given to or characterized by argument; "an argumentative discourse"; "argumentative to the point of being cantankerous"; "an intelligent but argumentative child" Curiosity and as an example of my posting style, I found that definition and I agree with it (see what I am doing here?)
