<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7809840, member: 115909&quot;]I know suggestions I don’t agree with aren’t bad advice. I never once thought they were. But often people think just because I question what they say for more elaboration/explanation it means I’m challenging them. I’m not. I’m trying to understand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like with the slabbing thing. People will say all the reasons slabs are bad and so I’ll follow up by mentioning some things I think are beneficial based on my experience with US coinage not to argue or refute what the person said but rather to see why they think those benefits aren’t worth it. Or if I’m mistaken on some of those things I believe are benefits.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and I am not saying it was you but I go on a lot of different forums and I’ve experienced people either sarcastically give me bad advice (without me knowing it was sarcasm until later) or just trolling.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first signed up I asked if I should clean my coins and someone “jokingly” said “use toothpaste and a toothbrush”.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s hard to tell sarcasm/joking online without being able to read body language. If I was having people answer me face to face I could tell much easier whether they were serious and trying to help or just have a laugh at my expense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn’t know they were joking but assumed they were telling me the truth and ended up using toothpaste on one of my coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
