<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Restitutor, post: 4802880, member: 112621&quot;]Being that it was likely my initial comment that created this whole mess, I submit myself humbly to the CoinTalk jury for forgiveness <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s what I see happened: an <b>opinion</b> was asked for, I gave mine, and then through many replies a whole host of things were assumed, relevant statements ignored, emotion took over, and opinions became misconstrued with statements of fact. I see just from this statement how opinions are given as fact, emphasis mine.</p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>“Not winning a very desirable coin for your collection, at auction, can be very disappointing but casting aspersions on the auctioneer, the dealers who bid at auctions, etc.,<b> isn&#039;t the problem</b>.“</i></p><p><br /></p><p>For me, had I lost my dream coin to a reseller, it would support my <u>opinion</u> as to why I am annoyed that the public must bid against resellers. To me then, that is a problem. Once I was informed it was in fact a proxy for a collector, you will note I stated I was very pleased for whoever won it. But of course I will always be sad I lost!
