<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 7984634, member: 4920&quot;]It&#039;s getting like we have to give psychological counseling now when we answer questions. I&#039;m not criticizing your reply, I&#039;m criticizing why it&#039;s needed. This is an empathetic and understanding reply, and I&#039;ll note it got two &quot;likes&quot; to this point, too, but is it really necessary we supplement our advice with psychological counseling, now, or risk getting chewed out for it when we don&#039;t? We&#039;re coin collectors, not psychologists. For that matter, we&#039;re not detectives, either. People come on here with latent psychological problems underlying their questions on their coins, why is it incumbent on us to deal with those, like we&#039;re mental health care professionals, or some such things? This has nothing to do with being rude, that&#039;s completely different. Rudeness, personal attacks, ill-manners, all deserve to be called out, in whatever the forum. But I&#039;ll not wet-nurse anybody, here, and neither will I encourage that type. If a person wants advice on his or her coins, I stand ready to give it to them. If they&#039;re so psychologically-fragile they have to fall to pieces or go into an emotional tirade when they&#039;re not getting the answers they want, they got a problem, deal with it, and quit bothering us. There&#039;s my position. I&#039;ll neither encourage, nor welcome that. If anything, I&#039;ll recommend they seek mental health counseling, then come back. I&#039;ll not spend my time here coaching anybody on those issues, as though I even knew how, because, in my opinion, anyway, it only encourages more, and it doesn&#039;t resolve one thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
